Regarding this bit:  At some point, he met Visenna outside Kaer Morhen, a sorceress who decided to give her child, a young boy named Geralt, to train as a witcher 

The Last Wish (A Question of Price) clearly states that it  wasn't  Visenna's choice to give him away:

“Who are you, Geralt of Rivia, to claim to be an oracle in matters of laws and customs?”

“He knows this law better than anyone else,” Mouse-sack said in a hoarse voice, “because it applied to him once. He was taken from his home because he was what  his father  hadn’t expected to find on his return. Because he was destined for other things. And by the power of destiny he became what he is.”

“And what is he?”

“A witcher.”

I do not recall anything in Sword of Destiny countering that—in fact, during their encounter, her mouth trembles and she sheds a tear, which coincide with it not being  her  choice  to give him up.
