and I was introduced to it in the closing credits of the movie The Cookout. I'd post a link to a video
but I'm not getting any audio out of Youtube these days so this will have to do.

Until the papers are signed the new mom is not the birth mother and Pete and Chasten are still prospective adoptive parents.

My congratulations to the couple! There is noting in the world like the pleasure of raising another human being.

At age 70, and looking back, I will claim with no reservation, that parenting children was the high point of my life.
