Leah Cahill is back, and since we last spoke she’s taken a massive step: after a DNA test and the help of an organisation in China, she found her birth parents - and travelled to meet them in person for the first time.
She talks honestly about the overwhelm of that first day, her biological mother’s reaction, and what it was like meeting her sister and feeling an instant connection — even with a language barrier (and some surprisingly good AI translation).
Leah also reflects on how new information has reshaped her “origin story”, identity and adoption journey, and shares advice for anyone thinking of starting their own search.
