Stan warns Becca to not be disappointed if her research turns up something less than hoped for. What do you think is his reason for giving her this warning?

• Stan warns Becca to not be disappointed if her research turns up something less than hoped for because his own research on his mother was not what he had hoped for.

Stan searched for his birth mother for answers, but received very little and decided the story was over for him.

• Stan warns Becca to not be disappointed if her research turns up something less than hoped for. He was being a nice friend and telling her to not feel upset if she finds out something bad about Gemma. The story even said there was not a happy ending.

• Because if she did the research and something bad happened, he wanted her to know it was ok and she is safe.

• Stan warns Becca to not be disappointed if her research turns up something less than hoped for because his own research on his mother was not what he had hoped for. He was trying to be a good friend by sharing his experience when he researched his birth mother.
