Michelle told no-one she was pregnant. So when she gave birth by the roadside, she did something she came to regret.
The ending of the constitutional right to abortion played a significant role in the outcome of the US midterm elections. One argument used as the Supreme Court considered overturning Roe v Wade in the summer was that an alternative to termination could be found in safe haven laws.
"I asked to speak to labour and delivery. They came and talked to me and I told them: 'I think giving her up is going to be the best option.' I just wanted her to be safe - from my oldest daughter's dad."She was in the hospital less than three minutes.
"A 15-year-old checked in, complaining of abdominal pain. After her vital signs were checked, she went to the bathroom. She delivered her baby by herself and put him in the garbage can. About 20 minutes later, a housekeeper found him. We tried to do life-saving efforts, but we were unsuccessful." In 2011, the Olsons were contacted by the adoption agency they were signed up with. "I got the call, and they said we had a baby," remembers Michael Olson. He texted three words to his wife Nicole - "Best Day Ever".
"So one day my mum was going to get me a DNA test. Whatever I was, she was going to celebrate that," says Porter, taking up the story. "And we got the test, and the doctor said, 'Congratulations! You get to celebrate everything!' I'm European, indigenous American, sub-Saharan African and East Asian."
