Adoption
Sandra was already really successful in her acting career having done a lot of hit movies over the years, but there was just something inside of her that said she needed something else to complete her life. So, shortly after the Oscars on March 2010, she announced to the public that she was in the process of adopting a son.

She and her then-husband, Jesse James, had already began the adoption process four months before the announcement. However, the couple later on filed for divorce so she had to do everything alone and continue the adoption as a single parent.
