We all saw this coming: Sandra Bullock just announced to People that she’s filing for divorce from husband Jesse James, who’s made headlines around the world as reports of his infidelity surfaced. Sandra also made another major announcement: she’s adopted Louis Bardo Bullock, a 3½-month-old boy, born in New Orleans. Says People: “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.” Cheers to Sandy for her courage and resilience! We can’t blame her for starting over fresh and making the most of a terrible situation. Edited to add—Jesse James released a statement this morning: “My whole life has been full of hard decisions. The decision to let my wife end our marriage and continue the adoption of Louis on her own has been the hardest. The love I have for Louis cannot be put to words. Not having him around to love and to hold has left a huge hole in my heart. Sandy is the love of my life, but considering the pain and devastation I have caused her, it would be selfish to not let her go. Right now it is time for me to beat this addiction that has taken two of the things I love the most in life. I ask that you please do not judge Sandy for the things I have done. She has done no wrong. She played no part in any of this. She has been an amazing wife, mother and best friend for the over six years we have been together.” [source] What do you think, Lovelies?
I have always taken great pride in proving people wrong. That time has come once again to show that I am not what everyone says I am. I know in my heart that I can be the best father possible to my four children and the mate Sandy deserves, and realize that this is an incredible mountain to climb. But I believe that the steps I have taken in the last 30 days are the foundation for making this happen. The lifelong commitment I am making is what being a real husband and father is all about.

Good for her. That baby is really cute.
guest
I love Sandra Bullock. She’s a very strong woman and I’m very proud of her for doing her thing. The baby boy is super adorable.
guest
He’s cute.
This is unrelated to Sandra, but why are people so obsessed with getting black babies lately? I can see nearly no one adopting little chinese babies or other asian-looking children, nevermind anyone ever adopting an “indian” area baby.
Don’t mistake this with racism, I’m simply wondering why the others are not of appeal. The only chinese child I saw adopted was to Katherine Heigl.

I also think it’s great that she’s adopting a child from the U.S. and not going halfway around the world to some exotic country to adopt. There are plenty of kids who need loving parents here! Yay for Sandy
guest
i love sandra:)
guest
I’d just like her to be happy. No one deserves to get cheated on.
And what a life that baby boy’s going to have… wow lol
guest
@haloed@xanga - Perhaps it has to do with population..? More African American orphans than other races..? I have no clue, but that’s an intriguing question.
guest
@wideopenskies@xanga - maybe, I don’t know, but I know there’s a hell of a lot of unwanted chinese females being born. It saddens me.
daffodil / 1569 posts
@haloed@xanga - i would LOVE to adopt a Chinese girl someday. It’s supposedly really expensive and a lengthy process, though, right?

@Jessica - People do it because kids in other countries don’t have as many resources as orphans in America do. If they don’t have parents in third world countries they’re pretty much doomed for life. At least kids in America have a fighting chance. It makes sense to me =/
daffodil / 1569 posts
@stuipdthing@xanga Adoption is terrific, regardless! But 12 million American children are at risk for going hungry, and 129,000 american children are currently awaiting adoption. If we don’t adopt our own country’s children, who will?
guest
When I am ready to have a kid…I am not giving birth. I am adopting. Personally, I am adopted…from America and not from another country and am so gladd that my parents did adopt me. I also have an adopted brother from a different family than me. I am currently 21 and he is currently 18 and about to graduate from high school.
@haloed@xanga - In regards to your response, I totally understand what you are wondering. Personally, I think its a great thing to adopt any race but when I adopt my child (it won’t be anytime soon but when I do) the child will be from America.
I have a feeling that there are so many more steps to adopting a child from another country. And I bet it is def. more expensive to adopt from another country.
Anways, adoption is a great thing to do though and I hope more people start adopting. Its a great gift to any child to be adopted from a home that wasn’t a good living conditioned home.

Kudos to her! He lost a very good thing and I just don’t understand what could he be thinking? Cheating is bad, there’s no doubt about it. But and this is a rare but, if it was one time and he really really did make a mistake and is deeply sorry for it, they can try to work it out. I know many people feel once you cheat, you can’t go back and need to kick them to the curb. But more often than not couples do try to work it out especially if they’re married. If it was just dating, then it’s splitsville immediately.
@haloed@xanga - I was thinking about that too. China’s adoption is the most advance because they’ve been doing it for so long. I’m not sure if the prices has gone up because it’s quite popular to adopt in China a few years back. I also hope it’s not a fad to adopt black babies because Jolie-what’s her face and Madonna started doing it. Sure they’ll grow up in a luxuries life full of stuff they would never in a million years see had they not been adopted by powerful celebs but hopefully they won’t be forgotten or left alone without real actual love of a family when the celebs go around the world doing their celeb jobs…
I don’t remember which talk show I was watching but they did bring up a point about when was the last time Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were out with they’re adopted kids? It’s always photos of them with their own legitimate kids now…
guest
@Utoppia@datingish - yeah.. I hope it’s not just the new “cool” thing to adopt black/african/jamaican/etc. babies because celebs are doing it. I think adopting on a personality basis is more important than colour…. :S
guest
@haloed@xanga - Depends where you go, really. In my little suburb of Toronto, there’s a high percentage of Asian adoptions; I’ve seen entire families of adopted Asian kids to very, very white parents.
guest
@Kestryl@xanga - ooh interesting, I have not seen that myself, but thanks for the info
I think that’s great. I hate when white parents only want to adopt white kids…. it breaks my heart, like other children aren’t good enough for them or something.
guest
she’s my favorite actress ever! the baby is adorable!
what a little Blessing for her to start a new life with 
guest
good for her. she’s amazing
guest
Aw, he’s so so cute! He looks like a Louis lol
guest
i love her. now she’s got her new “man” of her life =]

its good she adopted inside the country! she needs this, she was ready and im glad she gave her “nazi sleaze ball” hubby the boot.

guest
i absolutely love sandra bullock and im glad she made the smart decision by herself.
shes definitely a huge role model to me.

Cute baby!
I think it’s good to have a mixed family.
guest
Good for her. She deserves to be happy.
Also, I don’t think it should really matter what race is being more adopted, the bigger issue is getting children out of the adoption centers and given good homes no matter what. It isn’t a popularity contest about what race the celebs are choosing, it needs to be based out on love and compassion.
magnolia / 1354 posts
WOW! I feel like she is filling that husband void and realizes that she will not have any babies with Jesse, so she is doing that. But… I hope she has thought it through! Adopting kids is a huge responsibility and is not like getting a dog.
Sometimes celebrities are adopting kids left and right… I hope they are making the right thing!
guest
Adorable baby.
guest
thats a cute baby
cherry blossom / 47 posts
wow!
Go sandra!
Honestly, i give her lots of props for getting rid of him. His public announcement is awfully convincing, but a girl’s got to stand up for herself! Seriously!
Go Sandra!
((Btw – she’s beautiful)
sunflower / 447 posts
Aww, he’s adorable! Good for her, moving on and staying positive after that stunt Jesse pulled. He’s lost an amazing woman to his own foolishness, but at least he’s smart enough to realize it I guess?
@haloed@xanga - My best friend was adopted from South Korea by her family here in the US, and both of her adoptive brothers are Asian as well, though I don’t recall from where. It probably just doesn’t stand out as much. Ever since hearing about how little girls are treated in China, I’ve been dead-set on adopting at least one
guest
I love her, she seems so strong and awesome. I’m glad she’s making good of the situation.
guest
@disorderedpersonality@xanga - awh that’s awesome
you’re great people.

I like how she didn’t turn into a huge paparazzi scandal project.
daisy / 613 posts
Hey, good for her.
Also, I really like what Jesse James said too. It seemed like a very mature and responsible response. I hope once he gets his issues straightened out that they can be a family again.
guest
Finally she’s made the right decision. I hate to see people have to go through something they shouldn’t just because it seems that that was the way to be. It’s too much emotional stress to bear. I wish her the best!
guest
Good for her! I’m sure she will be a great mom and role model to her child.
guest
Good for her and him.
guest
I’m happy for her. and I’m glad she adopted a baby from the US. everyone goes and adopts from foreign countries, when there are so many children in the US who need good homes too. oh, and he is super adorable. <3
guest
@haloed@xanga - The child is from New Orleans – did you read that part? Have you been there? There are a significantly larger number of African-American children there than there are white or any other race for that matter.
Good for her for adopting a child from this nation – it’s nice to see a celebrity not going halfway around the world and actually looking at the kids who need help HERE.

This makes me adore Sandra even more… be strong girl! And that baby is so cute
guest
@haloed@xanga - Katherine’s daughter is actually Korean, not Chinese.
guest
I really admire her, and I’m planning to adopt when I’m ready for children too. I’m English, so obviously I’ll adopt from home, and race doesn’t matter to me in the slightest, as long as there’s a child out there who needs a home, I’m ready to provide it
guest
@watermoolen@xanga - …she started the process while she was still married. She just decided to adopt him on her own after Jesse cheated on her.
guest
@haloed@xanga - Katherine Heigl’s baby is Korean, not Chinese.
guest
That statement Jesse James made is almost too perfect. It makes me want Sandra to forgive him and work out their problems. I wonder if someone helped James make that statement because it seems so perfect like a man truly broken over his sins who loves his wife and has hope for a future with her after he straightens himself out. I really hope it does work out. I think the baby deserves a mom AND a dad, but he’s better off with just a mom than being an orphan. But I hope they do get back together.
guest
@raindrops_falling_onMy_head@xanga - my mistake
guest
It’s sad that her relationship had to end, but I believe that she is strong enough to move on and make a good life for her new baby boy and herself. At least we can say that his apology sounds way better than Tiger Woods’ public announcement!
guest
My friend and her husband adopted a baby girl a year ago 6 months before they had a baby of their own. (They were having problems getting pregnant so they resorted to adoption. They found out they were pregnant and then got news 6 months later that there was a newborn black baby girl that needed a home. So they adopted her.) It really wasn’t their choice whether they were going to get a black child or a white child, or a boy or a girl for that matter.

Looks like a black Java -da -hut or one of Mike Tyson’s kids hopefully not as demented. Kids are not puppies you have to remember you cant give’m back….unless you live in Ky.

i wish the best for her and her ex seems like a liar and a dumb man-whore.
guest
@haloed@xanga - Katherine Heigl’s baby is korean… so much for the no racism thing… haha jkz jkz
guest
i have no interest in seeing celebrities’ babies. who gives a shit, really? are they the only ones who can adopt/procreate?

she is such a beautiful and strong person, and he is just the cutest baby!
guest
I think Sandra Bullock is a beautiful, talented woman and Jesse James is a fucking idiot for doing what he did to her. He deserves to be separated from his & sandra’s child. Besides, she can handle it on her own a lot better without him.
guest
Louie is too precious … I love it when people adopt children celebrity/non celebrity..
guest
@haloed@xanga - i’m black, and i was wondering the exact same thing about the black-baby-adoption trend, so i don’t think you’re racist v^.^
um, good for her, i guess. jesse’s a piece of crap, i’m glad to see that it looks as if she is going to land on her feet (emotionally), though.
guest
I love Sandra Bullock!
And I hate how guys are blaming their infidelity on a “sex addiction.” COME ON.
guest
@haloed@xanga - actually I know a family who has chinese twins, and she adopted a black child among having white children. I believe you’re reading into this too much.
guest
Poor Sandra. I am glad Jessie said nice things about her and admitted his wrong.
guest
Sandra Bullock is an amazing woman, props to her!
guest
lol check out the papoose
guest
all the more power and respect to her I say
guest
@haloed@xanga - I think Katherine Heigl adopted a Korean child because she has a sibling who was adopted from Korea. Angelina Jolie has two Asian children. Meg Ryan has an Asian child.
guest
props to her for divorcing. the baby boy is cute too. I think it’s interesting that she’s adopting from the U.S. as well, instead of another country. I think as long as they’re both gracious about this process then anything can be worked out in the future if need be.
guest
@lunapiovosa@xanga - blame it on Tiger Woods…
guest
who is judging sandra in this situation? i think she’s amazing.
guest
Opposite attracts ok. LOL…Black family adopting white kids, white family adopting black babies. It doesn’t matter what color, they’ve chosen it. Still a baby. It’s just a coincidence I guess. Let’s say black is the new black. LOL.
guest
@haloed@xanga - hmm… i guess there are quite a few reasons for this but it all really boils down to a. personal preference & 2. media. As much as i hate to say it, a lot of stars will adopt whatever everyone else is adopting. Babies for stars are turning into adopting puppies; they want what everyone else has & it will most likely end up neglected.
But i like sandra bullock. She’s down to earth & i think she can give this baby a good home (i hope) .
guest
I thought that was a really sweet letter Jesse wrote about her. Kudos to the both of them!
guest
The baby is cute! (:
