He feels as though he has a responsibility to tell his story in case it inspires others. After this, Saroo begins supporting ISSA, the agency that facilitated his adoption, and begins the process of buying Kamla a new home. After finding his family, Saroo feels as though he is able to fit together pieces of his identity and better understand both his roots and how he became lost in the first place. He learns that Guddu died when he disappeared, and struggles deeply with his loss. Saroo returns to Khandwa and finds Kamla, Shekila, and Kallu relatively quickly. A young woman appears out of the next house to help, and Saroo begins to list the people who lived in the house. Some people, such as Sue Brierley (Saroo’s adoptive mother), believe that international adoption should be made easier and be less regulated so that more people will feel able to do it, while others take a child’s-rights standpoint and insist that there need to be more regulations guiding international adoption. He worries about telling his parents, as he wants them to understand that he absolutely thinks of them as his real parents. He’s in shock: the tiny house is clearly abandoned. The subject of international adoption can be a tricky one. This search continues for five years, during which time Saroo returns to live in Hobart and starts dating a woman named Lisa. With the help of exchange students, Saroo begins using Google Earth to follow Indian train lines and search for his hometown. He completes a degree in hospitality, but his time at college is most effective in reconnecting him with his Indian roots. Saroo adjusts to life in Australia relatively quickly, though he runs through his memories of India nightly. Mum and Dad adopt him, and he arrives in Tasmania when he’s five years old. The authorities try to help, but they cannot figure out where Saroo is from, and he’s eventually put up for adoption.

Saroo lives on the street for several weeks, but eventually a teenager takes him to the police.
