JAMES: ‘ADOPTION HELPED RELATIONSHIP BLOSSOM’
JESSE JAMES felt closer than ever to SANDRA BULLOCK after the adoption of their baby son LOUIS and he’s "sad" to see her experience parenthood as a single mum.
Little Louis joined Bullock and James’ family in January (10) but the a doption was kept a secret for months, even during the couple’s split afte r the TV mechanic’s affairs were exposed in the press.
Bullock went public with her baby joy in a People magazine exclusive in April (10), and now James reveals the former couple only had one major r equirement when they were looking for a kid to adopt - and New Orleans, L ouisiana, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, was the perf ect place.
He tells U.S. newswoman Vicki Mabrey, "We found out around Christmas ti me and we got him on New Year’s Day. I didn’t care what colour he was. My only prerequisite for adopting a baby, I want a baby who needs us the mo st." James admits the adoption brought new life to their marriage, just days before his cheating scandal hit the headlines: "I found a new trust for her, like I knew she wasn’t going to leave, and our relationship blossome d." And James admits he was "sad" to see the magazine cover of Bullock enjo ying life as a single mum because he had taken part in the photoshoot jus t days before the actress walked out on him.
He says, "It made me sad, but I realise why things have to be done in a certain way. To see her in the role of mother is like one of the most am azing things I’ve ever seen. I mean, she is like a fish to water, as soon as she put that baby in her hands, it was automatic and amazing." The full interview with James will air on U.S. news show Nightline on T uesday (25May10).
