Steph found her mother's obituary and one of her oldest sister's defunct Facebook accounts, then blabbed about them on reddit to ensure that any autist with an Internet connection would find them too. The obituary is unusually short and devoid of any personal touch -- no "loving grandmother" or "fondly remembered" language -- but it does list all three of her daughters by their birth names, including the two that CPS took.
And now that she knows the names of her TRUE and HONEST parents she's busy turning them into labels for her collection. "Oh, my new tattoo? My new last name? Those represent my
real parents. They died before I knew them. I'm so brave." No mention of whether her bio mom might have had her own complicated feelings about her surname, because Steph doesn't give a shit about anything unless it makes her sound special or gets her off.
