Indian Boy Is Adopted By Australian Couple, Never Stops Looking For His Real Family

A Long Journey

Eventually, Saroo found where he had once lived. But there was no house, just a pile of rubble. He put his hand on his face and thought perhaps the worst had happened, and they were not there anymore. But then a stranger recognized Saroo’s childhood photo. And then that person said, “Come with me. I’ll take you now to your mother.”

There, at the end of a lane, after 25 years, Saroo’s mother stood, waiting for him. He had finally found her. It was such a shock. She came forward, and they hugged, and she was in as much, if not more shock, as Saroo was. They were both looking at each other in tears, and he couldn’t believe this was happening.
