It appears that Sandra Bullock is fully embracing her role as mom and has used it as a way to distract attention away from her divorce. Yes, having a baby can pretty much distract you from anything. You usually don’t wake up to realize you are in fact still breathing until after they are potty trained.

It may seem like a good thing for her life publicly, however when you truly fall in love with someone like it seems she did, there is no way realistically that you can slide right past that heartbreak and go on to home base.

I also have to wonder why there’s not a bigger debate concerning these new parent’s of multicultural adoption’s and if they are really prepared for or factoring in the realistic difficulties that they and these children will inevitably face?

At least Angelina Jolie did address her possibly not having any more children due to her acknowledging the individual one on one time that each child really needs with each parent. There are things that money can’t buy after all! That’s one of the first signs of sanity that I’ve seen come from that family in a while. There is the recent comment from her about her oldest biological child, Shiloh, preferring to be a boy. I’m all about people being comfortable in their own skin and feeling like they are authentically who they want to be, but when it comes to children, I find the area a little more gray. It seems to me that if a child is getting most of “her” influence from two brother’s and really wants to fit in with them, then she is prone to act more like a boy. Can anyone say identity crisis at however young “she” is. It almost gives that animal follow the pack vibe. Am I wrong to say this??? lol -

In Sandra’s situation, not only is the child of a different ethnicity, but then he is also male. It is reported that Sandra may co-parent with her ex, but there is no definite answer and am I the only one that finds it a little questionable that someone who has a shady past concerning hints of racism or antisemitism would be helping to raise a child of a different ethnic background?

As a baby or even a young child in most of these situations, I don’t feel there should be too much of a concern, but once the child hits adolescence and starts having the need to start to find his own identity and wants to know genetically where he comes from, there will be a need for outside support.

Ultimately, I think that multicultural adoption would be a fine concept if people in general were more knowledgeable about other races and cultures, but as a society we are no where near as united as what we would like to believe. I wonder if a woman who was in the exact same situation as Sandra, minus the millions, would be able to hold that same adoption?

Even though the media doesn’t seem to be talking too much about this & shuffling it under the rug, I think there should be some serious questions that need to be asked when it comes to how we are molding new American families or at least how Hollywood seems to be molding theirs and we follow. I know most in Hollywood live in this type of untouchable, global bubble that the “average nobody” doesn’t grasp, but unless the child always lives there, then at some point it will popped and they will search for their identity outside of it.

Human beings aren’t like cute puppies you take home, dress up and show off. They are complex with complicated feelings, needs and emotions. I am all for a color and gender blind society, but there can be great comfort, pride and happiness found in one’s culture, history and identity that include race and gender. Sometimes it can take a lifetime to discover and make peace with these things, but it is necessary. It could be said that what color and gender you are, is not who you are, but it definitely is a part of who you are in this world. It seems for someone put into these families, that it could be that much harder to discover and make peace with it. I know money can buy pretty much anything, but it can’t buy you “everything”. So where is the support team for that and why does the media seem to be ignoring and addressing those serious topics?
