Sandra Bullock: Baby Louie is 'a little Cajun cookie'
Sandra Bullock sat down with Matt Lauer at Warren Easton Charter High School in Louisiana over the weekend, where she opened a health clinic, for an interview that will air tomorrow on Today and NBC just released a bit of the conversation. One of the things he asked about was her adoption of baby Louie from New Orleans. “He’s a little Cajun cookie,” says Bullock. Lauer asked about the long process of finalizing that adoption and Bullock said, “It felt— it felt like it was time, you know. And the process— the way that the process is, for a very, very good reason, and 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.” She tells Lauer that she didn’t request any particular child — male, female, etc. She just had faith that the right baby would come along for her. “I think, everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out. And— and we— 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.” – Ann Oldenburg
