“At that moment, I’m like, ‘This is a bombshell. This is a family revelation here. This is going to change everything for us, and I’m immediately thinking, ‘Well, how do I even contact this person or how do I talk to my dad? How do I figure out the story?'”. Time stood still for the ABC anchorman. From that fateful moment onward, everything would be altered, no matter what. Uncertain whether to reach out to the man or confide in his father first, Whit found himself caught in a whirlwind of chaos and novelty. A cascade of questions flooded his mind. What if it all went awry, upending his bond with his father and the very fabric of their family? Little did he know the gripping, suspenseful tale that awaited him. “I was in a room by myself when all of this happened. I’m pacing around the room, going, ‘What do I do? How do I tell my dad?”.

Curiosity
Whit’s father had a secret. He chose to remain in the dark about his biological family out of a deep sense of respect. Hidden behind his choices was a hidden tale of worthiness and sacrifice. Steve’s love and reverence for his adoptive parents shielded him from exploring the very origins that shaped him. What mysteries lie within the family that willingly let him go? Whit stated in an interview: “As far as my dad’s concerned, it was really a personal thing for my father. He loved his father and mother, again, his adoptive parents, so much and felt like it would be an insult to them and the love and the life they gave him if he explored this.” Steve’s adoptive family, once by his side, gradually disappeared, leaving him alone in the world to forge his own path. It was at this moment that an irresistible curiosity began to stir within him, beckoning him towards uncharted territories.
