Sandra Bullock In First Post-Split Interview: Son Louis Is "A Little Cajun Cookie!"

Sandra Bullock sat down for her first post-split interview, where son Louis was the number one topic!

"He's a little Cajun cookie," Sandra said of the boy she adopted from New Orleans. "How lucky am I?"

Sandra also opened up to Matt Lauer on Today about the process of adopting little Louis, which she began four years ago.

"It was a long process," she said. "I did not circumvent. I wanted to do everything exactly the same way everyone else did. And-- it was-- he was always mine, you know. It wasn't like I felt like someone was going to take him away. But it was nice to have someone say, I think you're a fit parent."

And Louis was the perfect child for Sandra, Bullock said.

"Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out. We had always said that it didn't matter where the child came from," Sandy said, about the stipulations she and her then-husband Jesse James had in place before they were able to adopt. "If they had issues that were medical issues, we didn't care. It's like the child that needed us in the home is the child that's going to be placed."

But one thing did surprise them: "I didn't think it would be a boy," Sandy said. "We don't have any boys in our family. Boy, is everyone really happy about that. So, he's like the crown prince. You know, it's nothing but girls in our family ... It was just the hierarchy that needed to be broken."

Sandra was able to keep the secret for months due to her close and trustworthy circle of friends and family.

"It takes good people with integrity," she says. "I mean, I read something like, how did someone keep a secret, and it's-- you know-- human beings exist that have integrity that know how to keep their mouth shut. That know the bigger picture, that don't sell out their friends. Those people are all over the place. But again, we don't like to talk about it, because it doesn't sell a magazine. But I was blessed with the same friends I've had since before things got really special for me and blessed in life."

"And when things get bad, they're still the same friends," she says. "And, you know, it-- everything passes. It all passes. But they just-- you know, they know if they screw up they're not coming on the next vacation. I'm not going to babysit their kids. I will cut them. I will take them down," she joked.

Sandra's currently in New Orleans, championing a cause close to her heart: a $700,000 New Orleans health clinic she helped fund.

The full interview airs on Today tomorrow.
