00:00My birth mom was sick, so she needed someone else to take care of me.
00:29She was homeless on the river, four months pregnant.
00:41We want to try to get her into a recovery program so that we can have a healthy, safe
00:49pregnancy and make sure we have a healthy baby.
00:52Yeah, of course I could have kept it.
00:57But I would have been selfish.
01:00I would have loved to have kept it.
01:05You also need to rest, okay?
01:07I'll be honest with you, you need energy to push the baby.
01:10Nobody can help you with that, only yourself.
01:15And the baby had its first pee, and it peed meth.
01:20My heart just dropped.
01:25I found out I was pregnant with her when I was in high school, so everybody told me,
01:29oh, you're not going to make it, you're not going to finish school, you're not going to
01:32graduate, you know, it was all this, you're not going to, you're not going to, you're
01:35not going to.
01:36And guess what?
01:38I did it.
01:40Pregnant and all.
01:45I just love to be able to help people and not have to turn them in.
01:55It's not that I didn't love it, but I loved it so much.
