Welcome to Season 4 of The Australian Adoption Podcast, with your host Nadia Levett, where truth is reclaimed, stories are given a voice, and silence is broken.
Today, we are privileged to hear from Shane Bouel, a man whose life was shaped by adoption—not as an act of love, but as a theft of identity. In his own words, he recounts the journey of a life unwoven and stitched together again, through pain, reunion, and ultimately, sovereignty.
Through his recorded poetic piece, Shane invites us deeper —into the fractured circle of belonging, into the fire that has shaped his reclamation, and into the unbreakable spirit that refuses to be defined by loss. This is not just his story—it is a call to witness, to listen, and to understand what it truly means to reclaim one's name and place in the world.
Listen as we step into "the untold, the unspoken, and the undeniable."
