Saroo Brierley, an Indian-born businessman who was separated at age 5 from his birth mother, was later adopted by an Australian couple, Sue Brierley and her husband. He wasn’t reunited with his birth mother until 25 years later.

In 2016, his story was adapted to film, in the Oscar-nominated film Lion.
