Sandra Bullock's Painful Path to Motherhood

To her children, Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock is simply known as "Mommy." Now, 11 and nine years old, her children are her life. However, her journey to motherhood was anything but easy. Her personal life was far from the fairytale that many would think it was. From finding love and getting married to a bitter divorce and raising her children as a single mother, Bullock has kept her children away from the limelight. She's chosen to give her adopted children as normal a childhood as possible. With a new beau now sharing her home, it seems that Sandra has found her happily ever after. Many have criticized her decision, while others have praised her efforts. Let's look at Sandra Bullock's journey to motherhood.

Sandra Bullock is one of the best actresses in the world. With movies like The Blind Side, Miss Congeniality (1 & 2), 2 Weeks Notice, and Birdbox behind her name, there is no doubt that this is one talented actress.

It's not just us that think Sandra is beautiful; People Magazine named her their "Most Beautiful Woman" in 2015. You would think that with this title, love would come easy for this powerhouse actress. But sadly, life has other plans, and things aren't always what they seem.

The actress has been linked to some high-profile celebs like Matthew McConaughey, Ryan Gosling, and Tate Donovan (with whom she had a four-year relationship). But, it was only in 2005 that this beauty eventually settled down.

Marrying James saw Sandra become an instant mom. She was now the stepmother to her husband Jesse's three children from a previous marriage. This transition again sparked her interest in having a child of her own.
