Rosedale restaurateur Sash Simpson got a flood of memories on a visit to the Indian city of Chennai, where he’d been rescued from the streets as a barely school-age child and sent to Canada.

Only one thing was missing: his first language.

“The smells, the colour, the complete chaos, it gave me a flashback. It’s almost like a movie in my head,” says Simpson. He is in fact, the central figure of a movie, the Hot Docs feature Born Hungry, which debuts at the festival today (April 26).

When she turned 18, she lost the only adult in her life that she trusted.

18-year-old Louisa sat with her phone in her hand. She was nervous, because soon her world could topple.

A message had arrived in her e-Box from the Danish Appeals Board with a decision for which she had been waiting for six months.

Adoption is a very personal journey that influences numerous lives. 

In addition to juggling the complexities of her adoption narrative, Jillian Suh Kurovski-Legris, a first-year PhD student specializing in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, is a college adoptee facing the trials of young adulthood. Her story challenges the oversimplified narratives surrounding adoption and provides a window into the varied experiences of adoptees.

“Every adoption begins with loss,” Kurovski-Legris said. 

The process of understanding her adopted status and getting back in touch with her birth family is a very complicated and intimate journey for Kurovski-Legris. But Kurovski-Legris, like many adoptees, has had to deal with the difficulty of having people who might not completely understand the nuances of her experience, simplify her adoption story into simplistic tales. 

Kurovski-Legris encountered some difficulties adjusting to Korea when she visited, such as linguistic and cultural hurdles. She was adamant about finding her birth family in spite of these obstacles.
