Ailsa Burns, Lucy Burns and

Lucy Burns is a parent of two children adopted from overseas. She found there was very little information or support available in the form of books, especially after returning from overseas with her children. She has been strongly involved in the adoptive parent support group (ASIAC NSW) and became president for three years. The book has been about three years in the making. Lucy and Ailsa reviewed a lot of relevant information, undertook a survey of about two hundred adoptive families, conducted interviews with adoption experts and collect a number of personal accounts from adoptive parents.
