I had so much resentment when I heard people talk about their good birth stories. I was happy for them, obviously, in one sense. I would wish nothing like what I had on anybody. But then there was also this side of me that was so resentful. I didn't want to hear those stories.

I didn't want to hear someone else rave about, especially a birth center birth or even a home birth, that those things worked out for somebody else, but not for me. I started counseling and was able to start talking about it. I literally up until this point for months thought I was the only one that had gone through this at Origins. I was scrolling social media one day.

At this time, I had already moved out of Texas and saw a news report out of Texas that some women were gathering and they were going to be demonstrating outside of an Origins location. I clicked on the article and read it, and sure enough, it was Origins Dallas. And I thought, oh my gosh, I'm not the only one. In the article, it was Amanda who had been interviewed by the reporter.

I was nervous reaching out to her, honestly. I didn't want to dredge up old memories, but I'm so glad I did. I reached out to Amanda online, and I think it was via the Origins page, because at the time, Origins was still running. And I just simply said, hey, I saw this review. It sounds like you had a bad experience.

I did too, but I didn't realize that other people were having bad experiences there. She said, oh, yep. There's been lots of bad things and we're starting to submit reports and we're going to get women together and we're going to let people know that there's something bad going on here. That's when I got added to the survivors page.

Within a span of that month of talking to her, I realized how much had gone wrong. I realized that someone had died under their care. I realized how many women had been transferring. I realized how much they had flubbed their transfer numbers. That's when I started getting involved with these women and started submitting reports to DDLR and to the Attorney General's office.

When I got added to the group, the survivors group, I've only really heard bits and pieces of people's stories. Kristen's was the first story that I heard in detail. It's shocking to me. All of the stuff that she went through was months prior to me. The time that her baby was born would have been right around the time that I actually started with Origins.
