“I have three mothers. Mother who gave me a birth, Mother who raised me up. And, Mother who connected me with the two mothers.”

He learns hardships his mothers had to come through while exploring his past at the house called “Smile Baby” run by an NPO that secures pregnant women who cannot raise their babies for various reasons.
