What was she like, why did she give up her baby, and why did she give him such a name as Stewart Burton McLennan since she was going to give him up anyhow? I mean why not call him Joe Smith?
Oh how the questions run on and on, and only a few people really know the answers.
Since talking to his birth mother Stewart Burton McLennan, knows the answers to some of these questions.
However Stewart Burton McLennan has been told a bunch of things. Recall I mentioned his birth parents told him right from the beginning that he was adopted. Well of course he is going to ask questions as a kid naturally does. So what was he told?
He was told his birth mother was age 17-18, yes pretty much a child herself, which sort of answers why she did not keep Stewart Burton McLennan as she was just a kid herself.
Something else about the adoption Stewart Burton McLennan was told: That he was adopted before he was even born, meaning that it was all arranged before delivery. While this could be considered comforting, knowing that it means the birth mother didn't look at him after the birth and think 'man I gotta get rid of this ugly duckling'. It does make it even more perplexing as to why he was given the odd name: 'Stewart Burton McLennan'. Of course ever since Johnny Cash brought it up, Stewart is really glad he was not named: 'Sue'.
After having spoken to his birth mother, Stewart knows now where the name Stewart Burton Mclennan comes from, but will keep that a mystery.
