I had the pleasure of meeting Zara Philips once through a friend. Clearly a powerful artistic human being.
She delivers a really important message about being adopted. I believe she is from the UK and had access to her original birth certificate as an adult.
She was incredulous that in the US adult adoptees are treated as second class citizens. She has partnered with Run DMC, who is also adopted, to fight for a right the rest of us take for granted, that we have access to information about who we are on a very basic level. Pretty powerful stuff.
