When Sandra Bullock first brought home newborn Louis in secret, she was still clutching an Oscar and reeling from a public betrayal. Privately, she was beginning again at 45, choosing single motherhood, adoption, and a life where her children’s safety mattered more than any spotlight.

The boy she once cradled in the crook of her arm now towered over her; the once-tiny girl from a fearful transition now walked in bright white sneakers, sure-footed beside her brother.
