Well, and it comes back to people not fully being educated about adoption and open adoption because, like, we were told this whole time and this whole journey when we were making this decision for her was, you know, if you ever change your mind about openness or whatever during this, Dawn used to always say, we can pull out the beat eraser.
We can erase it and we can make it to however you feel and however you want it. Right. So, yes, after she was born and we held her and saw her, of course, we thought to ourselves, oh, hell no. This is going to be really hard. I love her. I want to see her. I don't want to have any what ifs. I want to know what she's doing and what does she look like and what is she into?
And so we told Dawn, no, no, no. We want to switch it to open.
Well, no, but I know like in some states like California, you can enforce it and stuff like that, too. But yeah, a lot of people. Yeah, they don't. But I think another misconception, which I think is funny that I'm seeing a lot lately. And I know that you mentioned it, too. So like my mom and I's relationship is in a better spot now than it was a year ago. And like, I love my mom.
Don't get me wrong. I do. I love her. She's my mom. But I see a lot of people saying April was right. April and Butch were right. See, they never should have done the adoption. And I'm like, do all you guys forget what you watched? Do you not recall all of the stuff that was happening at this house? My mom was using, Butch was using, we were moving all the time. My house was infested with fleas.
Remember Johnny Legas? Oh my God. Like horrible.
My mom got arrested for drunk driving, like all of these things. And I'm like, so you think that I should have just like, yep, my mom was right. I totally should have brought a baby into that environment. Like. What?
Right.
that same conformer.
Yeah, they wanted to fight for custody of her. And I remember the judge looking and saying, I see two young children standing in front of me knowing what they want for their child. And he was like, absolutely not. I deny it. And I remember they had to like...
Getting arrested for DUI and, you know. Oh, my God.
No.
So if you see my mother and your dad acting like that on camera.
What did people think it was like all the time?
You know?
What's even funnier though is when you see people making these videos and they're spewing just misinformation And you reach out to those people and you're like, hey, listen, you can still not like me, but you're spilling a lot of mistruth and I would like to inform you and then they block you, but then continue making videos about you.
That's funny.
And there's other creators who you reach out to them and they like, oh my God, they're like, oh yeah. And then we'll talk. And even if they're like, well, I still don't agree, but like, you know, but I've had a lot of,
I like that big word.
Hypocrisy.
