At 18 years old, Sarah Danze Jones would have shared her adoption story from the lens of a young adult steeped in gratitude and faith. She believed her placement in her adoptive family was divinely orchestrated—a miraculous convergence of her parents feeling prompted by the Holy Ghost to adopt just as she entered an orphanage in South Korea. Raised in a loving, religious household, Sarah would have framed her adoption as a story of chosen purpose, an alignment of spiritual destiny. She would express pride in her family, an eagerness to honor the sacrifices her parents made, and a desire to live up to the mission she believed had been divinely assigned to her. At this stage, her narrative would reflect the expectations placed upon her and the beliefs she embraced to make sense of her journey.

In the next episode, Sarah's adult perspective on this same story will undoubtedly offer depth and nuance, shaped by years of self-reflection and lived experience.
