Segment 2: An artist shares the stories of international adoptees.
Megan Rye was adopted by a family in Minnesota at 7 months old, in 1975. But it wasn't until having children of her own that she wondered about what her life was like for those first seven months in South Korea. The referral photographs given to her American parents by an adoption agency inspired her to paint 100 portraits based on other people's referral photographs.
