Carpio: Just to be clear,
Dr. Sloan and Dr. Torres were Sofia's parents.
And then you came around.
No, I didn't "come around."
I'm Sofia's mother. I legally adopted her.
Hmm, she doesn't want to go there.
No, she doesn't.
Her last names are Sloan and Torres.
I'm going to have to stop you before you continue,
for your own sake.
You're not going to imply
that I am any less Sofia's mother
because we don't share the same DNA.
Dr. Robbins, excuse me.
Because that would be offensive.
It would be offense to anyone in the room
who has an adopted child or is an adopted child.
Dr. Robbins!
I chose to be Sofia's mother.
It did not fall into my lap.
There was a choice.
And I could stay or I could run,
and I chose motherhood.
And it was the best choice that I ever made.

I love my child. [ Sighs ]
And I want her with me,
but I know that, no matter how this ends,
[Sighs]
she'll thrive.
She'll be healthy and safe
and well taken care of and loved,

we are her mothers.

But there is a child at the hospital
who will not survive unless I am there,
so [Inhales deeply] I have to.
I have to -- I have to go.
