"Text now! I'll Respond"

What are the odds that a healthy baby boy abandoned on a hospital doorstep in China would grow up to become an accomplished author, speaker, and adoption advocate in America? For Wilson Munsterman, this extraordinary journey isn't just a story—it's his life.

At just 19 years old, Wilson brings wisdom far beyond his years as he shares his powerful adoption story with raw authenticity. Born during China's one-child policy era and left without identification, Wilson spent his early months in the Chinese orphanage system before being adopted by American parents. What makes his perspective so compelling is his profound gratitude: "I've come to terms that I shouldn't be alive, I shouldn't be here in America... I'm going to attack every day as a gift."

The conversation explores adoption with remarkable nuance, challenging simplistic narratives. Wilson emphasizes that adoption isn't inherently good or bad—it's an experience that varies widely depending on individual circumstances. He offers invaluable insight for prospective adoptive parents, birth families, and adoptees alike, stressing that what matters most is approaching each situation with grace, understanding, and love.

Most impressively, Wilson has transformed his personal experience into meaningful action by authoring "Marked by Adoption," a book offering ten key insights from an adoptee's perspective. The impact of his work is already profound, with people across generations finding healing through his words. Beyond adoption advocacy, we discover Wilson's passion for vinyl records, Elvis Presley memorabilia, and his appreciation for history that sets him apart from typical 19-year-olds.

Wilson's story reminds us that our greatest challenges often become our most powerful purpose. His message to those feeling discontent resonates deeply: count your blessings, set goals for self-improvement, and remember that "the world is good, people are good." At its heart, this conversation is an invitation to see the world through a lens of gratitude and possibility—no matter where your journey began.
