'I saw triggers happening on a daily basis,' the actor said.
Still, it wasn't easy — Bullock shared that she had to take classes on how to parent a child dealing with trauma, and she had to be evaluated before being allowed to foster or adopt.
"[Foster care] is a system that exists and people don't know about it because it's a difficult thing to talk about," she explained."It gets deep and it gets dark. When I first went into the process myself, you have to prove that you're a capable parent — you're in the judgment cage. And I got halfway through it and I said, 'I can't do this.'"
Bullock shared that she had what she described as an"out of body experience," where"they literally sit you down and they ask you, 'So what do you think is the worst kind of abuse? What is the worst kind of drug and alcohol?'" Bullock said she didn't know what to say — they're all bad.
