While talking to the Today show's Matt Lauer, Sandra Bullock opens about about her son Louis, the adoption process and those close to them.
Here are some HIGHlights:
On Louis:
"He's a little Cajun cookie. How lucky am I?"
On adopting:
"It was a long process. I did not circumvent. I wanted to do everything exactly the same way everyone else did. And– it was– he was always mine, you know. It wasn't like I felt like someone was going to take him away. But it was nice to have someone say, I think you're a fit parent."
On finding the child for her:
"Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out We had always said that it didn't matter where the child came from. If they had issues that were medical issues, we didn't care. It's like the child that needed us in the home is the child that's going to be placed.
And I didn't think it would be a boy. We don't have any boys in our family. Boy, is everyone really happy about that. So, he's like the crown prince. You know, it's nothing but girls in our family … It was just the hierarchy that needed to be broken."
On keeping the adoption secret:
"It takes good people with integrity. I mean, I read something like, how did someone keep a secret, and it's– you know– human beings exist that have integrity that know how to keep their mouth shut. That know the bigger picture, that don't sell out their friends. Those people are all over the place. But again, we don't like to talk about it, because it doesn't sell a magazine. But I was blessed with the same friends I've had since before things got really special for me and blessed in life.
And when things get bad, they're still the same friends. And, you know, it– everything passes. It all passes. But they just– you know, they know if they screw up they're not coming on the next vacation. I'm not going to babysit their kids. I will cut them. I will take them down.
I have friends and family that are filled with massive amounts of integrity. And it shouldn't be an oddity."
She has such a blessed life! Amazing.
