Sandra Bullock welcomed her first child, Louis, into her home as an infant in 2010. Of the wait between her decision to adopt and finally bringing Louis home, she said, "The beautiful thing that I was constantly told was, 'The perfect child will find you. You will find your child.' But you don't believe that when it's not happening. When you're going, 'Where is my family?' When it does happen, you know exactly what they're talking about."
After adopting Louis, Bullock's family was still not complete, and she says her son knew it before her. When Louis was just 3 years old, he joined Bullock in a restaurant with her friends for dinner. When a friend spoke about her own daughters, Louis said, "Yeah, I don't have daughters. But I'm going to have a baby soon," Bullock revealed. While she said she had no plans to grow her family, she thought her son might be onto something (via People).
"I realized at that time, maybe he knew something. And when I think about it, it would have been around the time that Laila was born," Bullock said. "It's Louis' way. Louis has a very strong way. He's a fine leader, and he led me to Lai."
Laila, who formerly lived in foster care in Louisiana, joined Bullock's family in 2015.
