Lindy Saunders was born in Manilla in the Philippines and was adopted in 1976 by Australian parents who brought her home to the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. Lindy was told shifting stories about her origins as many adopted people, particularly inter country adoptees often are, but she felt it was disrespectful to dig too hard for the truth. It wasn’t until her adoptive father passed away three years ago that her curiosity outgrew those feelings, and she began to search for her biological family. That search uncovered truths, half-truths and took her across the world to America.
