I mean, it was fantastic.
And then I did have this conversation with my surrogate mother in which she answers all the questions that I had.
Who am I?
Where do I come from?
Who are my grandparents?
What is she like?
So she answered really all the questions that I had to try to rebuild myself and to regain my identity.
No, I don't.
I don't have a relationship with her.
She has her own issues.
She's struggling on her side.
I think about her a lot.
But no, we don't have a relationship.
And I wasn't seeking a mother.
I was just seeking answers, I guess.
I didn't even go and talk to her.
I didn't want to bother her because I thought, you know, she kept the other children and she didn't keep me.
So I guess she didn't want to talk to me.
But it was a huge present to have all these questions answered.
So there was one study that was done and that the pro-surrogacy lobby uses a lot, and it's called the Gullenbach study.
