Erin Wasn't Who She Thought She Was

Oscar Moreno

Erin Rodriguez wasn't sure what to do when her parents told her she was conceived with the help of a sperm donor. She was super grateful and the idea made her parents, who had struggled for years to conceive naturally, even more dear to her. But she also wished she had been told before she was 42, if only to avoid the preventative colonoscopies she had undertaken due to her father's experiences.

Upon reflection, Erin realized she and her brother don't look super alike.

This is that story... and it all starts at a California Pizza Kitchen.

This story was recorded 12.11.18 at Brick as part of Worth Repeating's "Opportunity Knocks" show.
