The Adoption Edition

Twins separated at birth reunite in the documentary film Twinsters.

What if one day you found out you had an identical twin you never knew about? Well, it happened to two young women born in South Korea and we have their story. Plus, we dig deeper into the Cold War origins of international adoption.

Also, how volunteers in the US city of Seattle are helping Syrian migrants. The Pope’s plan to canonise Junípero Serra is met with protest in California. And, the story of Timur, a glam-rock opera singer from Kazakhstan who got his start in Kansas.
