After undergoing multiple surgeries as a child, Emma Betsinger was left with scars down one of her arms.
“That’s why I didn’t date in middle school or high school a lot,” she told Tudum. “Getting into college and coming into my own, I also definitely became very self-aware of what my body looked like. Meeting someone out in the wild, they ask [me about them], but it wouldn’t be like, ‘Tell me more.’ It’s more, like, ‘What happened to your arm?’”

I do not know my birth family or if they are going to pass down any medical problems. That scares me about having a child. I’ve been raised by a white family; they’re the best examples of love.”
