Even though Oscar winning actress Sandra Bullock has gone through a heart-breaking divorce and an arduous adoption, the Hollywood star believes that these hardships happen for a reason. "I think everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out," said the 46-year-old actor during a Today show interview set to air tomorrow.
Bullock said in the interview that baby Louis has been accepted well in the family and he had a place in the Bullock family even before he arrived. "We don't have any boys in our family. Boy, is everyone really happy about that. So he's like the crown prince. It was just the hierarchy that needed to be broken," Bullock tells Lauer in Louis's hometown of New Orleans. Bullock was in the city to mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. "
Bullock’s call the baby her "little Cajun cookie" and added that the now 7-month-old "was always mine. “It wasn't like I felt someone was going to take him away. But it was nice to have someone say, 'I think you're a fit parent.’," she noted.
Replying to query that how did she manage to keep the adoption a secret, Bullock credits her friends and family who "are filled [with] massive amounts of integrity" and who, even when things get bad, are "still the same friends." She however, stressed that she won't tolerate a backstabbing pal in future. "They know if they screw up they're not coming on the next vacation. I'm not going to babysit their kids. I will cut them. I will take them down," quipped Bullock.
