Australian Adoption Podcast - My Unknown Truth

My Unknown Truth is a podcast sharing the stories and lived experiences of Australians who have been through adoption and foster care.

These stories are often complex, spanning over 50 years and touch on difficult truths, from growing up in an under-resourced system to Australia’s traumatic history of forced adoptions and Stolen Generations.

But within the darkness, there is also light; stories of hope, courage, resilience, and love. Hosted by Nadia Levett, an adoptee born and raised in Australia, this podcast is a deeply personal project.

It’s my wish that by sharing a range of voices and experiences, we can build greater awareness and understanding around adoption and foster care in Australia, spark informed conversations, and encourage others to share their truth, open hearts, minds, and homes to children in need.

In episode 4 we speak to Matt Young, who, with his partner Peter, adopted 2 sibling young boys.

We speak about the hurdles they faced along the way to being the first male same-sex couple in NSW to adopt their non-biological children, and to have that reflected on their children’s birth certificates.
