Sandra Bullock Adoption Jesse James Divorce

Sandra Bullock Adopts Baby Boy and Files for Divorce from Jesse James

The sex scandal involving actress Sandra Bullock and her husband Jesse James' alleged affairs with women like Michelle Bombshell McGee has been the hottest celebrity story of 2010, but who could have guessed there'd be a Sandra Bullock adoption? The Sandra Bullock Jesse James cheating scandal broke in mid March 2010, and as more and more women stepped forward to claim sordid affairs with Jesse James, he went off to sex rehab and the Oscar winning Sandra Bullock slipped away to deal with her pain and appeared to go into hiding.

This week has brought some interesting new developments in the scandal: Jesse James was seen leaving the treatment facility without his wedding ring; there is breaking news about a Sandra Bullock adoption and the actress finally filed for a divorce from Jesse James. Here is the latest news about the Sandra Bullock baby and her divorce from husband Jesse James.

Sandra Bullock Adoption and Divorce

The Sandra Bullock adoption is certainly an unexpected twist in the Jesse James cheating scandal. As the story unfolded about James' secret life of alleged extramarital affairs with a string of women like Michelle Bombshell McGee, many wondered what was taking Bullock so long to file for a divorce from Jesse James. Was she standing by her man like Tiger Woods' wife Elin Woods, who hasn't yet filed for a divorce from Woods in the wake of the Tiger Woods sex scandal? Or perhaps she was waiting on a divorce because it was in the best interest of James' children. It turns out that the Sandra Bullock adoption probably influenced the timing of her divorce from husband Jesse James.

According to People Magazine, who has the world exclusive on this breaking story, Sandra Bullock has adopted a son and has filed for a divorce from Jesse James. The Sandra Bullock baby has been a total secret, as Bullock and James actually adopted a newborn named Louis back in January 2010, but they wanted to keep the news private until after this year's Academy Awards ceremony. People Magazine reveals that Sandra Bullock plans to finalize the adoption as a single mother, raising her son alone.

I'm really in awe of the way that Sandra Bullock has handled herself during the trying times of the Jesse James cheating scandal. By going undercover as the Jesse James sex scandal hit the fan, she maintained her dignity and gave herself time to deal with the pain of her broken marriage and finalize the secret Sandra Bullock adoption. Bullock never lashed out at James or Michelle Bombshell McGee in the press, and I think that's to her credit, as Bullock is a strong classy lady.

Sandra Bullock was also adept at managing the press during this trying time in her life. When Bullock was ready to emerge from seclusion, step out into the world and show her face after the scandal, she made a deal with Getty Images for the first public appearance photos, robbing the intrusive paparazzi of the opportunity to make money off of those pictures. Now she's pulled off a similar coup with the Sandra Bullock baby news and first photos. People Magazine broke the story and has the first interview with Bullock about the Sandra Bullock adoption surprise and her filing for divorce from Jesse James.

For more information about the Sandra Bullock adoption and to see the first photos of the Sandra Bullock baby (including a cover photo) check out the latest issue of People Magazine, on newsstands this weekend.
