Photo from PeopleWe all now know that Sandra Bullock adopted Louie Bardo from New Orleans. But did you know she had him circumcised in her home?
Bullock had to go to great lengths to keep the adoption a secret -- decoy cars were involved and no guests were allowed in her house unless they were in her inner circle.
Perhaps that's the reason why she had a Jewish circumcision ceremony for Louie even though she isn't Jewish?
The bris takes place when the male child is 8 days old and is performed by a mohel, a Jewish man trained to perform circumcisions.
“A friend of ours helped arrange for a bris at the house, because we couldn’t go [to a hospital for the procedure.]” Sandra tells People. “The mohel came to us.”
Sandra has called the ceremony one of the most beautiful moments in her life.
Did you have a bris in your home?

Yes, it was nice. My OB happened to be Jewish as well so he did it and did all of the ritual stuff even tho he was not officially a mohel. I thought it was wonderfull that he came out to my house in the middle of the day to do it for us.
No, my son is intact. Not sure how watching someone cut off part of your baby's penis could be "beautiful," regardless of your religious views. (Especially since she's not Jewish.)
poor poor baby. Anesthesia is rarely used during a hospital circumcision, at home there is none available at all. I feel sick to my stomach thinking of slicing off a body part on a newborn baby. I wonder what kind of sicko would describe that as a great moment!!
I think making it a more comfortable, private thing is probably much less stressful for the baby.
She sounds like an amazing mom. I wonder if she considered lactating?
I think not doing it at all is probably "much less stressful for the baby".
Even if she is breast-feeding, I don't see how she can be be "an amazing mom" if one of her first moves is to have parts of her son's genitalia cut off.
So while she was filming blindside she was blindsided by Jesse cheating on her. That is so wrong, and now we know what that PREGNANT rumor was all about!!! Oh my!! it seems like the good people always pay for the deeds of bad men, but I just came across a article that highlighted a letter Elin would have wrote to Sandra about Jesse's affair, check the story out

I wonder why they performed the ceremony (not just the actual circumcision) if she isn't Jewish?
But yes, I have had a bris at my home and will be having a second one done at home in a little over a month. The atmosphere is completely different that in a medical setting, and I prefer it that way.
Even if she is breast-feeding, I don't see how she can be be "an amazing mom" if one of her first moves is to have parts of her son's genitalia cut off.
Yes because we all know that whether or not to circumcise is what determines your value as a parent! Foolish us! Man, if I had known that only ONE choice made me a good or bad mom, I'd have saved myself a lot of work since according to you, I've already failed! Screw nursing until at least two and child-led weaning. Screw co-sleeping and never doing CIO! Screw trying to teach children empathy!
It all comes down to circumcision!
Thank you for enlightening me, O Wise One.
No, I protected my son from circumcision. The only ceremony we had was a little water poured on his forehead when he was baptized- not painful for him at all and respectful of his right to keep his body intact. It was like giving him a warm bath. He got to keep all the body parts God gave him and intended him to keep. If you want a ceremony that is peaceful and serene for the baby, as well as the whole family, baptism is the way to go- not circumcision.
Nope....we're not Jewish but I would prefer to do that in a hospital setting 'just in case'.
