Sandra Bullock may now have baby Louis home with her here in Los Angeles, but sources who work with adoptions in Louisiana tells X17online exclusively, "She was lucky to get that child."
Sources tell us that when it comes to adoptions in Louisiana "once the birth mom signs her surrender, it's irrevocable." For that reason, we're told many people seeking adoption choose to adopt in The Pelican State.
But could the birth mom ask for the baby back considering Sandra's recent drama? Our adoption source says that "the divorce could complicate the process," especially if the birth mom signed over the child to a married couple. However, in Sandra's case, our source believes she went through a private adoption agency "which is even more costly, but it's usually foolproof" because if the adoption falls through, the agency acts as the legal guardian.
As for Sandra, our source says she's been extremely involved with the community, even donating over a million dollars to Isidore Newman School in New Orleans.
She made the donation while she was filming there for The Blind Side.
Sandra also recently took part in the annual Mardi Gras parade, and our source who spent time with Sandra tells X17online, "She fits in very well with New Orleans. We're laid back here and that's how she is. Not stuck up at all."
We hope despite all the chaos in her life that she gets to keep baby Louis. Girl needs a break.

Beyonce donned a pair of Daisy Dukes to pose as a pin-up girl in a preview for her new video, "Why Don't You Love Me."
In one scene, Beyonce changes a tire on a vintage convertible in a revealing outfit as she plays the character "B.B. Homemaker" -- in another, B sports a Bettie Page wig and not much else!
After "Telephone", we're thinking maybe Beyonce's best acting is done in videos ... and we can't wait to see the rest of this one!

Instead of attending the White House Correspondents' dinner (along with Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber!), Angelina Jolie spent the weekend in Venice shooting her new film, The Tourist.
"Angelina is always invited by several media outlets to sit at their table, but she always refuses," a source close to Jolie told Popeater. "Angie is filming in Europe at the moment, but that isn't the reason she didn't attend. She didn't go because on her weekends off she would rather spend her time helping those who really need it rather than sitting, drinking champagne and laughing at bad jokes in a fancy DC ballroom."
But until this season, Angelina was an awards show fixture. So is it just that she doesn't want to hobnob with the rich and famous unless she's got something to promote?

David Beckham paid a visit to David Letterman last week, where he showed off a very graphic shot of surgery being performed on his torn Achilles tendon (image inside.)
"They cut open the top of my calf, pulled the tendon back down, cut open my Achilles and re-attached it," the soccer star explained.
But the good news is the procedure seemed to have worked, and even though David will have to sit out for the World Cup this summer, he'll be back to the field this fall.
"They [doctors] said as long as I follow the rules and don't try to rush back too quickly then I should heal well and be playing start of November, even before that I hope," he told Dave.
Becks blamed his injury on the fact that he was pushing himself to qualify for the World Cup. "I think In the last two years I've been pushing myself too hard because I wanted to get into the World Cup and stay in the English national team and I'd been flying from LA back to Europe a lot and I think it gave up," he said.
But LA fans rejoice, Becks will be back playing for the Galaxy until his contract runs out.
"After that we'll see what happens," David said, "but I'm very happy there." As long as Posh loves LA, he better be happy there!

Haven't seen these kids in a long while!
Queen B's two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, were spotted traveling in their SUV on Sunday in Beverly Hills on the way to daddy's place. Wonder what fun and games K-Fed has in store for them! Remember back when both parents were battling over custody arrangements? Nice to see that those days are long gone.
Who knows, maybe someday Sean and Jayden will convince their 'rents to reunite. It could happen! Like The Parent Trap, but IRL.

And she even lets her pay! So adorbs.
Soon to play Jackie Kennedy, mom slash actress Katie Holmes visited Le Pain Quotidien in Bev Hills on Sunday with Suri and company and bought some special treats. Let's hope the Cruise household isn't letting Suri manage the money just yet! Maybe someday though, that is if she doesn't grow up wanting to act like both her parents...
Sidebar, loves the pink fuzzy slippers on Suri! Part of yet another cute ensemble for the young lady.
