And then there would be more little Josh's in the world,' " she said. "And like, I love that picture of [what] people needing Josh's would be." "The best friend and the husband were like, 'Wow, that's really sweet Ginny. Like what happens?' And then they explained like all the logistics and I was like, 'Look, there's turkey basters.'

Although her paternal grandfather never told them much about his life before leaving home at age 11, she found out that his parents were involved in several criminal activities. "It's important for my son [Oliver] to know his history," Goodwin said at the time. "Life experiences become this patchwork, like a quilt that we wrap around us and our ancestors are very much a part of that. My great-grandparents didn't get the Goodwin love, so I feel like it's important for Oliver to somehow give them that love retroactively."
