This story is about a young man who had a dream he never gave up on. Resilience saved his life and drove him towards a path that would change everything. A path to find love, acceptance, forgiveness and courage.

Lisa was born in England in 1970 and was adopted at six weeks of age into a family who had already adopted a son. Her family moved to Australia when she was two years old and grew to include a biological daughter. Lisa’s story of reunion spans decades and two continents. It's a testament to courage, tenacity, resilience, and proof that a no doesn’t always stay a no.
