In public, Sandra Bullock has been through the best and worst of times this year – from winning her first Oscar to enduring the breakup of her marriage. In private, she was quietly keeping a joyful secret – his name is Louis, and he is her newborn son.
Bullock reveals exclusively in the new issue of PEOPLE that she is the proud mother of Louis Bardo Bullock, a 3½-month-old boy, born in New Orleans. Bullock, 45, and husband Jesse James, 41, began the adoption process four years ago and brought Louis home in January but decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Oscars. Their close friends and family – including James's children Sunny, 6, Jesse Jr., 12, and Chandler, 15 – were essential in keeping the adoption a secret.
Then, just 10 days after the March 7 Oscars, Bullock and James separated following reports James had cheated. Bullock says she is now adopting as a single parent.

Come on now, all of a sudden she wants to adopt a black, child, who is a cutie pie by the way....Bitch please, too soon, too ambitious...NEXT!
Hell, everybody else in Hollywood has one, like a Louis bag and a Ferrari, might as well have a Black baby too.
What's gonna happen when it's no longer trendy?
@10:47... It's taken her 4 years to get through the adoption process (read the article) - what's sudden or too soon about that?
co-sign @ 12:07pm -
At least adopted inside the US - much love and best wishes to Sandra and cutie-patootie.
So ive said previously that she had to have known her husband was a racist... but seeing this I may just have to eat my words. The baby is precious and from America none the less, which I have to say I love. But why are all these white families adopting black children? It does seem like the latest craze or is it just the media picking up on it more so now? I dunno? I just hope its works out well for the childrens sake either way it goes.
She adopted that black child to soften the blow of Jesse James' nazi stigma. Its like "Heeeyyy, look we adopted a black baby! We're not racist."
Please! And how can u adopt as a single parent, when the article states that YOU BOTH ADOPTED 4 YRS AGO AS A MARRIED COUPLE?
Either u forgot what you said or your handlers ran and got this baby recently for you to JUST NOW be filing your marital status. He cheated and was a racist and she either knew or was of the same. Its fine Julia, move on! All this charity work is unneccessary.
But at least the child, may, be given a healthier upbringing. Maybe!
To 12:07 and 12:26, who cares, really, I don't follow whats going on with Sandra Bullock, so.... .... It's ironic that she gets this child all of sudden after the mess with her Hitler loving Hubby....With money, anything is possible, good luck with your new child.
You can't just adopt a kid in a few days. She has planned this for a couple of years now and now the kid is here so good for her.
Why is it such a big deal for a non-black person to adopt a black child? the fact of the matter is the list for black children waiting to be adopted is much longer than other races. It's possible Sandra didn't say I specifically want a black baby maybe she just said I want a son and Louis is who she got. I'd rather see a black baby adopted by someone that will love them than end up bouncing from home to home in foster care. Kudos to Sandra!!
@ 3:11p
Exactly. Black children are the last to be wanted so good for her that she can at least give this AMERICAN child a life they may not have ordinarily had. All the other shit, who cares.
Unlike the Jolie-Pitts, I have to say while I think it's great to give children all over this world opportunities they may not have had before, it's nice to see an American child being adopted as opposed to running to China.
Funny that a FEW high-profile celebs adopt Black children from overseas and it's considered an "accessory" but all the Asian children being adopted by white families in particular, well, that's okay.
I am left wondering if I read the same story as some of you, but maybe you can adopt from any other country 'overnight' but here in americam the process takes time. If I read correctly, it said 4 years. The story about her man didn't surface until march so you go figure.....never mind cuz you obviously can't figure well, this was in the works before their marriage fell apart. And how about so damn what be happy for the baby and pray that she does right by him
Blind side....That's all I got to say about that!!
That baby is beautiful. Something still doesn't rub me right about the whole situation. I refuse to believe she didn't know about her husbands Nazi proclivities. Just because they petitioned for adoption 4 years ago doesn't mean the intent is pure. But you know, God has a way of turning things around. Nonetheless, I agree with 5:48.
Apart from the obvious, there are a couple things that bother me about this adoption ... Sandra received this baby in January but she's just announcing it. I don't like people who hide their children unless the child's life is in danger.
And either she knew Jesse was a Nazi lover or she was too obtuse to pick up on his illness.
I think she should have remained childless.
Oh boy! Congrats Sandra, all I have to say is, I'm glad you didn't have a huge fanfare, lights, action, camera type shit with this baby like bipolar Angelina Jolie and Madonna did.
beautiful baby, enjoy your son Sandra.
Some of you are wrong, when you have money you can adopt a baby in a heartbeat for the right amount. Some of you should live outside your little boxes because there are women who are selling their babies right now for money. We only know what they want us to know, anything and any word can be altered.

Sandra gets big KUDOS from me...as does Madonna and Brangelina. Love is colorblind.
some of you bitches are SO stupid. can you read? it took her FOUR YEARS to get the adoption crap through, and the baby came home 3 months ago as a newborn, b4 all the sega happened. and to that other idiot, NOT IN AMERICA it doesnt matter how much money you have the adoption process is the same! and to the other idiots who are saying she chose specifically 2 get a black babay DUMMIES when you adopt, its not like you can pick and choose what hair color gender etc they usually let you choose out of the children that are AVAILABLE.
and seeing as she got the baby as a newborn, im pretty sure this was a private adoption, and that she probably knows the mom.
one less child without a home, and you ppl are bitching about it? SMH no wonder america s one of the most disrespected countries in the world amongst th other first world countries you're a bunch of idiots
Why did she give that child that hideous name Louis? Come one now PETY! and I guess after she did the BlindSide she wanted to raise a black child, smh #attentionwhores.
@anon 9:43 It is not a hideous name it has meaning he is name after Louis Armstrong jazz trumpeter from New Orleans which is where she adopted her son from.
@ 9:43
the adoption process took her FOUR YEARS.
she wanted to raise a baby because she wanted to be a MOTHER. you proch moneys, yes i said proch monkeys, still stuck i slave mentality mode, cannot see past her race.
she gave this child A HOME. he would have otherwise been bouncing home to home in foster care his entire life. if it bothers you so much why arent YOU adopting?? blacks arent adopting at the rates whites are. i guess youd rather have them put the baby on a waiting list " oh sorry, theres lots of loving ppl that want 2 adopt you byt because ur not black u can have them, and have to stay in foster care". fucking idiots.
@ 10:27 You mean porch monkeys?? Learn how to write a sentence that people are able to comprehend before calling names genius! Again, this is a POST/MESSAGE BOARD/BLOG in which people POST their personal opinions! Why be an asshole Mr./Miss remedial?!
@9:16 if you have money for a private adoption you can pretty much get what you want. Especially here in America. Watch Law and order:SVU next week.
@10:27 that's not true black DO adopt more it's just that most of the time it's the children of their relatives. Also on behalf of us porch monkeys everywhere could you use use spell check next time? We would really appreciate it.
Some of you are having problems with her keeping her life a secret? Before this JJ scandal, she wasn't all in the tabloids, doing "candid" photo ops, dining at the Ivy, or any other "look at me" type of places, etc. She doesn't have to tell ya'll shit and she never did. Not every actress in Hollywood is an attendtion whore. She came out when she was ready...good for you Sandy - you are cool in my book. Love is love - and some of these ignorant fools who will never open their own homes to any child can keep on talking - because no one is listening to them anyway. Proud of you!
I'm happy for the baby that he'll have a rich life and now has opportunities that may not have been offered to him, especially a great education. I just hope their is a balance and she raises him to know & love his culture.
BUT....I also think the timing is real convenient for Sandra Bullock. I don't put anything past these celebrities!
I do believe it was Madonna that didn't go through proper protocol to adopt her african child. All because she had money. And look @ rosie o'donnel's lesbian ass...they let her adopt children without a hitch or Mommie Dearest Joan Crawford's abusive behind. I don't believe it took Sandra 4 years, that's a bunch of malarky. Too convenient for her and now she has forever squashed the rumors of her being even remotely racist. She has so many influential friends and they all helped her.
Thank God she didn't get a girl or her hair would be all over her head like Brad and Angie's girl....Would yall please put some braids In that girls hair, It aint like yall aint got the funds!! (hehe)
@ 12:31 THATS your source?? a frickin tv show?? GTFOH
Sandra married a straight up NAZI and she knew he was one and that is why she was with him! She is doing damage control by adopting a black child!
Sandra brought Louis home in January 2010-they were working to adopt for 4 years after being married since 2005. Sandra just found out about Jessie James' BS shortly before the Oscars in March 2010 and she has lots of money and lots of love to give this beautiful baby...Jessie is an idiot, but she's got the baby which is much better idea for her right now! Everyone should just leave her in peace!
The media only tells us what they want us to know, some of you are so dumb to believe everything the media says. You think you know the truth because its printed, wrong! Here in America money talks and there are crackhead women right now selling babies for money, I have seen it personally. Im not sure if some of you are young but the world isnt perfect and people, especially rich people do this shit all the time.

I am happy for Sandra and her new baby both. Her husband's indiscretions are NOT her fault and I think it's fucked up that people are putting that blame onto her for HIS fuck ups. As for the baby, I believe that Sandra is not able to conceive children of her own & after what's happened to her marriage it is nice to see her moving on and keeping it classy. Like many others have said, KUDOS FOR ADOPTING AN AMERICAN BABY! I wish them the best.
@8:41 PM
Please shut the fuck up. Love is NOT colorblind. Do you think people would be praising Sandra raising this black child on her own if she was black? Do you think the media wouldve burned Thaiga Woods @ the stake if his wife was black, OJ? Denial is not cute.
If she is sooo PRIVATE then why drive down to the PHOTO studio and take pics of you and your naked BLACK BABY for a cover issue. Her situation is to raw to be parading her child to the press! BITCH PLEASE!!
So everyone is yet again praising Bullock for being the great white Knight, for saving yet another black person other than the character on "The Blind Side"....It's great that she is taking in a child, but I am sooooooooooo sick of hearing about her, really! Madonna gets a black kid(s) and we are still hearing about that trick, I am honestly over it. Regardless, children need homes, and everyday people should gain recognition as well.
THAT IS SOMEBODY'S MISSING BABY FROM KATRINA!!!!! THAT BABY HAS A MOMMA BITCH AND IT AINT YOU!!!!!!
This is not about her husband's indiscretions. The concern is that a wannabe Nazi--her husband--was allowed to adopt a black baby. Y'all can pat Sandra on the back all you want, but there are two facts you cannot change. One is that Sandra was married for 5 years to someone who paraded around in Nazi outfits, and two is that someone allowed a Nazi lover to adopt a black baby.
Clearly the REAL racists are the ones commenting here.
Before this scandal Sandra was also attempting to gain legal custody of Jesse's child he had with that pornstar Janine; that is in addition to this adoption. The woman clearly wants/likes children and wanted a family. SHE was not photographed in Nazi gear. Until I see such evidence I'm not going to join the hate parade after what she's been through, it is publicly humiliating. She deserves to have some happiness.
Seriously, I have a feeling if Sandy were black that half of you would not have a bad word to say about her.
@5:04am this is 12:31am. My source is not a t.v show it's was just meant to be an example. That they are using baby selling as a topic. If you have money you can get what you want. I apologize that YOU didn't get it.
I am not a lawyer, and have only a superficial understanding of adoption processes. However, if I remember correctly, the birth mother has a few (six, maybe?) months to change her mind without repercussions. It sounds right that she would go though the process, and keep it quiet until the waiting period was over. Further, the destruction of her family could still make the adoption dissolve. And didn't I read somewhere that he has custody of his kids from a previous marriage, and that they've actually been staying between Sandra and his mom these last few months?
I dunno.. all this talk about "Sandra knew she was married to a Nazi" doesn't have to be the case. How many women truly know the men they're married to? I think all women can count at least one man in their past - not necessarily a husband but at least a boyfriend - that pulled stunts and carried on and did some shit in his past or on the side that she didn't know anything about.
And as far as I'm concerned with the accusations about her being racist, I think that's pretty messed up. There are a lot of celebrities that don't give a shit about their own. They'll preach on TV, begging fans to donate to causes, but how many actually write the checks themselves? In '04 when the tsunami hit Indonesia, Sandra donated $1mil to the relief. When Hurricane Katrina hit, Sandra donated to the recovery and "sponsored" Warren Easton Senior High School to help rebuild the school and provide tons of aide - not by getting on a TV and begging fans to make donations, but by writing checks and giving her own funds. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/16/sandra-bullock-honored-fo_n_204222.html)
It's also noted in the People article that she didn't come out with the news of her adopted son right away because she didn't want it to look like a media ploy to win the Oscar because of "The Blind Side."
Give her a break. Lots of women out there don't have a clue who they're married to. Once they find out, they have 2 options - they can either leave because they don't approve, or they can stay with his ass. In her case, she left him.
I'm not a fan of her work, but she's done lots of charity work and the constant "she's racist, blah blah blah" shit is annoying. Lots of white celebs don't give a shit about Katrina and the aftermath and the people of New Orleans. If she does, let her be and let her enjoy her son.
Sandra is so full of shit! Anybody that would believe this 4yrs to adopt her baby bullshit, just wants to believe her period! This story is every where and what are they emphasizing? The fact it took 4 years. This is all a cover up to fix her image from the Jesse James scandal that damn near had her looking like a white supremacist oscar winner. Her PR team went to work big time. It was either adopt a black baby or possibly have career suicide and she chose adopt a black baby. That baby looks hand picked! gorgeous---very brown with straight black hair. She was very careful not to pick a nappy head baby. Anybody should be able to see through this f*ckin malarky.
She gets no breaks from me. I find it difficult to believe she didn't know about Jesse's admiration for the Nazis. Jesse's father said on camera that Jesse "was obsessed with everything Nazi and that Jesse had grown up having this fascination." If she didn't know about it then she was deliberately obtuse.
And how generous of her to not disclose she had a child because it may have tarnished an award she hoped to receive. /s
okay, so to clear things up, they applied for the adoption as a married couple four years ago, did not use their fame for favors and had to wait like everyone else. they received the baby in january, but was keeping the arrival secret until after the awards season. unfortunately before the official announcement about the baby, the affairs came out. ms. bullock is now completing the adoption process without hubby, instead as a single parent.
With all that is being said about SB being a racist and this being a publicity stunt, I guess she'll give him back now that she's got the photo op huh? Yeah she used Louie so I guess now she is going to beat, starve or throw him away because she is a racist and she doesn't need him anymore. My only question is how many of you negative folks will go get Louie (when SB is finish with him)or any other child that needs a home. I never heard of a lifetime publicity stunt, Louie is hers for life.
