"Welcome to the Australian Adoption Podcast, where we explore stories that inspire, challenge, and broaden our perspectives.
In this episode, we're honoured to introduce Peter, an 81-year-old adoptee from New Zealand and brother of Jan Peart, who shared her journey in Episode 16. Peter’s story is one of love, resilience, and the transformative power of family. As both an adoptee and an adoptive parent of two, alongside two biological children, Peter’s unique experiences shine a light on the beauty of unconditional love and its ability to shape lives.
From his childhood surrounded by an embracing "Whanau" to becoming a counsellor in his 60s, Peter’s wisdom will leave you reflecting on the essence of love, kindness, and the bonds that make us who we are.
Through his life as an adoptee, adoptive parent, and therapist, he’s shown us that genes don't define us—it's the nurturing we receive and the values we pass down that truly matter.
Peter’s lessons will linger with us: love creates joy and peace, kindness enriches generations, and discipline, rooted in care, helps us grow.
Let's dive into his remarkable journey.
Thank you for joining us on this inspiring journey. Don't forget to subscribe, share, and join us next time on The Australian Adoption Podcast, where every story has the power to transform."
