It's interesting comparing the cases of Saroo Brierley and Kamiyah Mobley. In both cases, the biological mother went through decades of bewilderment and grief. Saroo unwittingly got lost and suffered months of nightmare before being adopted and growing up in a far-away country, which he says gave him a far better life. Kamiyah was unknowingly kidnapped and raised in her own country by a woman she believed was her mother. Ironically, Saroo grew up missing his family, found what he was missing and is no longer stressed, but Kamiyah grew up feeling complete, has suddenly realised what she was missing and her stress is just beginning and could screw up her life. I feel so sorry for Kamiyah. I don't feel sorry for today's 30-year-old Saroo, just the 5-year-old Saroo and what he went through back then in the months he was lost.
