She sits down with April and Noah to share some of the best, most impactful experiences she’s had with adoption. But to balance out the entire story, she also provides the more challenging aspects of her life, ranging from her identity crisis as an Indian woman who only identified as being white, to the culture and heritage she left behind when she was adopted.
