Ep:57 Darryl Nelson (Part 2)
Episode description
Darryl Nelson is an adoptee person who wrote the book A TIME LINE OF THE INJUSTICE OF ADOPTION LAW. Darryl was born in 1964 in Queensland, Australia. His birth certificate was altered by the Government to make it “as if” he was born to adoptive parents. When he was 14 years old he discovered he was adopted. It was not until he was 30 years old that laws changed in Australia and he was allowed to apply for information about his biological mother, who he discovered had tragically passed away when she was only 30. In 2020, Darryl took his case to the Supreme Court of Queensland for his adoption to be discharged. He represented himself and won. Darryl did not discharge his adoption out of malice but to set the record straight about his true identity.
Darryl has comprehensive knowledge regarding the history of adoption, both of these episodes are historically compelling. His bravery to represent himself in court and to claim his truth is nothing less than inspiring. (Please note this episode may be triggering)
