Sandra Bullock | Louis & Laila

Sandra Bullock has two adoptive children: Louis and Laila. What convinced her to adopt kids? The actress reveals the ordeal that comes with Hurricane Katrina makes her decide to adopt children. When the superstorm hit New Orleans in 2005, she realized parenthood was her destiny.

Bullock first adopted Louis as an infant in 2010. At the time, she still felt incomplete, so when Louis turned three years old, the kid led her to another adoption. Come 2015, Laila joined their small family. Bullock is now an advocate for adoption. She does not want to use the word “adopted” and asks everyone to address them as “our kids.” Anyway, no one calls their kid an “IVF child.” This move has inspired others to opt for adoption, too, and Bullock says there are thousands of children ready to be a kid of someone and give an incredible degree of love.
