Join me on a transformative voyage through the ages and across continents, as we unearth the profound practice of adoption with roots dating back to ancient civilizations. Our story unravels like a well-played symphony, hitting high notes with triumphs of famous personalities who were adopted, and diving into the depths of my personal journey - the discovery, the clarity, the confusion, and the emotions that coursed within me as I learned about my own adoption. 

This episode is as much a narrative of self-discovery, as it is an exploration of identity through the lens of adoption. It's the raw testament of a friend's conversation on a university stairway which sparked introspection, and a beacon of hope for others who've had similar experiences. A gentle reminder that the past doesn't necessarily shape our future and that we can rise above circumstances to etch a mark in the world. So, tune in, and let's embark on this journey together, hand in hand, step by step, to reveal the incredible power of adoption and the indomitable human spirit.
