“I was in a relationship several years ago where we had a child together and unfortunately I have no contact with that child. I guess this time around, it was kind of like, I would like a child, but I don’t want it taken away from me. I’m a good parent. It shouldn’t have ever happened. And if I physically have one as well as being the better candidate health-wise to have a child, that’s just how it came to be... Yeah, I would have preferred it that way – that I be his biological father – be my son’s father, and my wife be his biological mother. It just, I guess, would make life simpler, would make life easier. Not so many questions.'”
