And his adoptive mother, at this moment, proceeds to tell him about some other things inside this box that Deland, at age 44, did not know.
But the orphanage was just the beginning.
And pretty soon it becomes apparent that the only people who could actually answer these questions with any clarity were the parents that D-Lind did not know.
And so D-Lind McCullough resolves to find out.
But then Dillon discovers something crucial.
While he was busy coaching running backs, lawmakers in Pennsylvania, it turns out, had finally pushed a thing called HB162 through their legislature.
And this was a long, arduous process, but they pushed forward one yard at a time.
And in fairness to D-Land, I also had zero idea that adopted children in various states in America prior to HB 162 and various state bills like it were not allowed to view their own birth records.
That this was, in fact, illegal until recently.
In fact, the only reason I found out about it at all was from talking to D-Land and Sarah and researching this story ourselves.
So now just try to imagine how Dillon McCullough felt as he sat there waiting at age 44.
Yeah, this is where I just commend Dillon the reporter, by the way, Sarah.
Like, you're a good journalist.
Like, Dillon just like... He found out, Pablo.
Dillon McCullough finds out is an impressive feat.
And one, by the way, that I imagine... I'm just trying to put myself in his shoes for a second.
Because this is overwhelming, I must imagine, on some level, to know that his mom was actually around very nearby this whole time.
And the logical next question, obviously, as he continues to find out is, all right, who's my birth dad?
It's just jealousy is what I feel.
I feel jealousy.
