Quote:
"In Birth of a Family you witness the pain the siblings go through when coming to terms with being robbed of a childhood together as well as with their mother's pain of losing her children. During filming [Tasha] Hubbard couldn't help but connect with that feeling of loss of growing up without her own birth family and culture; 'You can't get those childhood memories of your siblings back,' she explained. 'While sharing memories with each other all you can do is look at photos and hear stories. There's a part of you that thinks: I should have been there. We should have had those memories together.'"
