I don't remember as much as I'd like, but in the Mahabharata, Karna son of Kunti and Surya the sun was adopted and raised away from his family, which led to a lot of grief later on.
As an adoptee who had a rough introduction to my birth family, the story really resonated with me. Thankfully, unlike Karna, I got a happy ending.
Another adoption story, far more well known in the US, Mose, set adrift in a basket and drawn from the river and adopted by Pharoah's daughter, raised as a prince of Egypt until he learned the truth of his birth and things kind of spiraled from there.
