Sandra Bullock convinced she was destined to adopt baby boy

London (ANI) - Actress Sandra Bullock has spoken out on her adoption of a baby boy and how she is convinced that she was destined to do so.

Bullock, 46, had begun the adoption process four years ago when she was still married to Jesse James, and both welcomed baby Louis into their family in January this year.

After she split from the TV mechanic in March, following the exposure of his infidelities, she went public with her baby news a month later.

"It was a long process. I did not circumvent. I wanted to do everything exactly the same way everyone else did," the Daily Express quoted her as saying in an interview with the Today show.

"He (Louis) 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'.

"Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out. 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," she added.
