This week brought up two very interesting facts about Hollywood: the first is that if a celebrity really wants to keep things under wraps, they'll figure out a way to do it, and second is that celebrity adoption always causes controversy.Sandra Bullock took to this week's issue of People Magazine with a full exclusive about the adoption of her 3 1/2-month-old son, Louis. In the article, Sandra discusses motherhood, the adoption process and her decision to divorce her husband, Jesse James, on the grounds of his affair with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.

For Sandra and Jesse, the adoption process began four years ago while Sandra was doing volunteer work in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Interestingly enough, however, the real idea to adopt came from Jesse's then-four-year-old daughter, Sunny. Sandra recalls, "Out of the blue one day, Sunny said we shouldn't have another baby, we should adopt. . I asked her why, and she said, 'Because there are so many little babies that have no home, and we can share our things with them.'" Looks like Sandra has been a good influence on that one!

The four-year adoption process, which included interviews, home visits, background checks and a lot of paperwork, resulted in the successful adoption of Louis, and Sandra says she could not have been happier. "The first time I met Louis, it was like the whole outside world just got quiet. . All I said when I met him was, 'Oh, there you are.' It was like he had always been a part of our lives." She named Louis after Louis Armstrong, whose song "What a Wonderful World" constantly played in her head when she held the baby.

While adoption is often viewed as a wonderful thing, some media outlets are decidedly less pleased. It seems as if a person can never do everything right when it comes to adoption. If you adopt from the U.S., you should have adopted from overseas and vice-versa. If you adopt from the U.S., you should have adopted a special-needs child. The list goes on and on.

Despite the controversy sprung by the article, Sandra is standing strong. "There is nothing hard about loving Louis," she says. "As long as he knows he is loved and protected and given the opportunity to touch and see everything, I have done my job as a mama.
