Sandra Bullock Reveals How Adopting Her Daughter Has Positively Changed Her Life - Closer Weekly

There’s nothing unusual about a celebrity looking gorgeous on the red carpet.

But when Sandra Bullock made the rounds in late October to promote her latest movie, Our Brand Is Crisis, there was definitely something out of the ordinary going on — the 51-year-old stunner seemed to be positively radiating happiness.

And with good reason. Unbeknownst to everyone, she was keeping a joyful secret: Her recent adoption of a little three-year-old girl she named Laila.

Now, Sandra is opening up to the world about how she’s spent the past three years navigating the foster system in order to find the perfect addition to her family, which includes son Louis, 5. (Like Laila, he was born in Louisiana.)

“The house is much louder than before, and it never sounded so good,” says the LA-based actress. Indeed, an insider tells Closer that since bringing Laila in the fold, “Sandra really believes her life is complete.”
