How Many planes to get me? is the story of how my husband and I were given a child on our honeymoon and then went on to foster and adopt many children. We had plenty of room because we live on 11 acres in a historic home and grew kiwifruit. It also about the triumph and tragedy of orphaned children overseas and our determination to help a few kids. People were shocked at the images of Romanian children rocking in their cots in 1990 and some who brought home orphans were unable to undo the damage from institutionalization. But there were success stories and this book will make anyone interested in adoption a good excuse to laugh and weep.
The title was inspired by our children at bedtime asking how many planes did it take to bring them home to our family.
