In this episode, we sit down with Rob, a Korean adoptee raised in Denver, Colorado. Rob shares his adoption story, from his early months in foster care to growing up in a family that embraced openness and love. He talks about starting his birth family search as a teenager, the relationships that have grown from that journey, and the powerful role Heritage Camps for Adoptive Families has played in his life — first as a camper for over a decade and now as a counselor. This conversation explores the importance of cultural connection, community, and staying rooted in both personal history and shared identity.
