Could you please explain what an "open adoption" is? Do you get to see your son?

I heard that the recovery process of the donor is harder than that of the recipient. Do you think this is true? And could you explain the 'swap program' in a little more detail? Where did your kidney go exactly? To your cousin or someone else?

Also, as someone who's best friend was on dialysis for 3 years before receiving a kidney, I thank you for being so selfless and going through with the process.
