Sandra Bullock Is Doting Parent of 2 Kids 'Brought' by Late Mom – Her Son Predicted She Would Have a Daughter

• Sandra Bullock became a mom of two kids in an unusual way.

• She said she found the love of her life and the "exact right parent" for her kids.

• She's stepping back from acting to be with her kids, who miss her while she acts.

Sandra Bullock, 58, has found the role she was meant to play: being a mother to her two children, Louis Bardo Bullock, and Laila Bullock. The award-winning actress and producer took the unconventional route to motherhood, becoming a mother later in life through adoption.

Bullock has said that she had always been eager to be a mother, but as time passed, all the pieces didn't quite fall into place as she had expected. In the end, she was grateful because it was as though fate led her to adoption.

Bullock became a household name after starring in the movie "Speed" alongside Keanu Reeves in 2004. Her talent and popularity earned her many movie roles, and acting became the sole focus of her passion and energy, but that was about to change. Speaking of how she knew she would become a mother, Bullock said:

"It makes me really emotional but I feel beyond a shadow of a doubt that my mother brought me these children."

"The Blind Side" star found out about the imminent arrival of both her children at the site of her late mother's resting place. She began the adoption process in 2006 and brought Louis home in 2010. When he was three, Louis predicted the addition of a daughter to the family, and in 2015, Bullock adopted Laila.

The Right Parent

Having been in the spotlight where everyone has an opinion about her choices, Bullock has learned to keep the intimate details of her life private. But the world came to find out that the star had begun dating professional photographer Bryan Randall shortly before bringing Laila home.

Randall is an attentive partner and engaged father to Louis, Laila, and his daughter from a previous relationship, Skylar.

Randall took the upheaval to his life in stride and has proven to be a solid partner for Bullock and "the exact right parent' for Laila and Louis. The four have become an adorable little family. Randall dotes on the children, and they, in turn, refer to him as "Daddy."

The "Bird Box" star has found the "love of her life" in Randall, drawing a line under all her past heartbreaks. Speaking about how Randall has become a partner in life and parenting, Bullock said:

"He's the example I would want my children to have. If that is where they feel drawn to, then he's the exact right parent to be in this position."

Friends have commented about how Randall is an attentive partner and engaged father to Louis, Laila, and his daughter from a previous relationship, Skylar. Even so, the couple is in no rush to get married and enjoys being together.

The Role of a Lifetime

The actress who returned to her comedic roots in "The Lost City" recently announced that she would be stepping back from acting so she could focus on her family. Explaining how she came to the decision, Bullock said:

"Right now, and I don't know how long that will be, I need to be in the place that makes me happiest."

Bullock said that she wants to give her round-the-clock attention to her children just as she has given to her career spanning almost 30 years. Like any other kids, Louis, 13, and Laila, 11, miss their mom when she's gone but find her a bit annoying when she is around.

But Bullock is committed to spending as much time with them in this crucial time of their lives, watching them grow into who they were meant to be. The mom of two says that instead of rushing to a nonexistent destination, she feels like she is exactly where she needs to be.

Bullock has become a beacon of hope for adoptive parents who have opened their hearts and homes to the thousands of children who need families.

The Hollywood producer is convinced that her confident daughter Laila has what it takes to be President of the United States. And her son Louis who she describes as "wise," is an old soul with strong leadership qualities.

Bullock has become a beacon of hope for adoptive parents who have opened their hearts and homes to the thousands of children who need families. She also worked on "The Unforgiven," a movie about women in prison. Speaking about its personal impact, Bullock said:

"One of the women that I got to interview that helped me with insight to my daughter. She, too, went through the foster care system and there was something that was similar."

The movie shows how incarceration affects women and their families and the challenges they face while trying to reintegrate into society. Bullock says the experience made her a better parent, and she commemorated it with a tattoo.

Bullock credits her children with getting her through a dark season of her life. A series of events, including health scares and a robbery at her home, made the star reevaluate how she was living.

That season taught her to slow down and accept help when she needed it. She sought therapy to work through unresolved issues and to be the best version of herself for her family.

Sandra Bullock, who got her artistic pedigree from her musician parents, also learned a lot from them. Her late mom, Helga Meyer, taught her to be self-sufficient and complete outside a relationship. The "Oceans 8" star is doing her best to live up to that advice.
