Tori Spelling is Considering Adoption
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies,
The Beverly Hills, 90210 actress gave birth to her fourth child Finn on August 30 and while she insists she is done with being pregnant, she hasn't ruled out expanding her family in other ways.
"I never say never but I think this is our last. I want to focus on the kids I have now and I don't want to spread myself too thin. I've had C-sections with each baby. It puts the body through trauma. I don't think I could do it again. [But] I'm all for adoption. It's such an amazing blessing and we would totally do it. My friends adopted my goddaughter Simone who's two and having seen the process through their eyes, I'm definitely a believer," Tori, 39, said.
Tori would also prefer to adopt from inside the US, unlike numerous other celebrities who give homes to kids from overseas, as she would like to help kids from her own country: "I think we'd probably try to adopt from the US. I know a lot of people go outside the country and that's great but there are plenty of kids here that could use our help and support."

Sandra Bullock Says Jesse is Still a Great Father
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Celebrity Babies,
Sandra Bullock still wants Jesse James to play a role in her adopted son’s life.
The Oscar-winning actress has filed for divorce from the motorcycle entrepreneur following allegations he cheated on her with a string of women but says she would like him to be involved with three-month-old Louis because she knows what a great father he is.
“I will be adopting as a single parent. Anything else will be taken day by day. I have a different relationship with Jesse now. A bittersweet one. One of new understanding. One of forgiveness. One of support for his recovery. One that changed my life. I don’t really know how our paths will intersect in the future, but the father I have known Jesse to be with all the kids is one that I hope Louis can experience one day, no matter how Jesse and I go on with our lives.”
Jesse - who recently left rehab following treatment for sex addiction - has three children, Chandler, 15, Jesse Jr., 12, and six-year-old Sunny, from previous marriages and Sandra would also like the kids to be involved in Louis’ life: “I know my role is not one that exists on paper, but Louis is their brother, and Jesse and I will do whatever it takes for them to know that their world will not change and still be protected and safe and full of love. It will just have a slightly different dynamic now.”

Just a few months ago, back when Sandra Bullock was still promoting her movie The Blind Side - no one thought twice when the actress referenced adoption.
But looking back at an interview Bullock gave to Ellen DeGeneres in November, it’s quite obvious the subject was something she was passionate about.
In the clip after the jump, the Oscar winner even brought up the subject again when she referenced “the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from. Those moms and parents never get thanked.” That speech, we now know, was delivered several weeks after her new son - Louis Bardo Bullock - had already entered her home.
