Although she always felt a connection to her son, even before the adoption took place (viaToday), she was afraid she would somehow mess it up. While talking to InStyle Magazine, back in 2018 (viaPEOPLE), the Miss Congeniality star revealed,
Lou is super sensitive. I call him my 78-year-old son. He’s like Shecky Greene, a Jewish Catskills comic. He’s wise and kind. I saw that when they handed him to me. There was a spiritual bigness to him. I was like, ‘I hope I don’t eff that up.’
While her daughter, Laila Bullock, is unafraid and a fighter, the actress revealed her two kids are special in their own way. Despite her initial hesitation and fear, the actress has done a pretty good job of raising her kids and giving them as normal of a lifestyle as she could.
