Waverley Library, Bondi Junction
The desire to be a parent can be a powerful emotion. It drove Anne and Alan to keep going after the death of their first child, and the miscarriages and unsuccessful IVF attempts that followed. Their dream was eventually realised through inter-country adoption.
Although they thought they were well prepared when they drove through the gates of the orphanage in Manila, in fact they knew very little about the reality of bringing two young siblings from a very different culture into their lives. Almost everything about their new lives was scary, and there was so much for them all to learn.
Anne Hutchinson is one of our 'Love and Write' authors, her compelling and heartfelt story is one surely to offer a moving experience for all readers as she speaks form the heart on the challenges of adoption and the rewards that make it all it worth it.
There will be a morning tea provided. This event is in celebration with International Women’s Day.
Books available for sales and signing at the event.
