About This Quote

Calla and her mother, Maura (played by Joan Allen), were talking about the fact that Maura needed a sperm donor to make her pregnancy possible. Calla was full of pride and wanted to show her mother how much she cared about the baby. This quote shows how Calla believes that she is as important as any other baby that can be born using a donor (i.e., a sperm or egg donation). This makes it clear that Calla thinks of herself as a real person, not just as part of some large process.
