"The women I had met in India were some of the most brave, intelligent, and compassionate human beings I had ever met, and I couldn't help but imagine my birth mother dancing among the sea of women in front of us. With all my heart, I hoped she would be proud of me. It was in that moment that I realized how thankful I was for the life she gave me."
