Sandra Bullock’s Heartbreaking Announcement About ‘Grief’ And Parenting—We Feel So Bad For Her!

"So much had happened," the 57-year-old Oscar-winning-actress said in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning's Tracy Smith, referring to her relationship falling apart at the same time as the adoption process. "How do you process grief and not hurt your child in the process? It's a newborn — they take on everything that you're feeling. So my obligation was to him, and not tainting the first year of his life with my grief."

The Lost City actress also told Smith about her fears for her two children – she also adopted daughter Laila when she was a toddler back in 2015 – who are both Black, noting how "scary" being a mother to Black children can sometimes be. "My children are Black. I have a level of defense that millions of mothers have that aren't white. I have an understanding of how scary it is," the Bird Box actress continued.

"I just get really emotional because I think of hundreds of years of women who've never been able to relax into motherhood. They've never been able to relax." The Unforgivable actress then said that Black mothers have to worry about their children "in a way that we as white women have not had to worry."
