I don’t know anyone who’s gone through this process, but it’s not so much that I’m trying to tell a true story of someone who’s actually gone through this event.

I was creating characters that are from a very privileged world. I wanted to tell a story where we present this seemingly perfect family. If you’re on the outside looking in they have everything: They have this perfect family, this perfect house, these incredibly successful careers; they have this beautiful newborn baby.
