About this listen

Experienced foster carer, Rosie Lewis, takes on the heart-breaking case of Megan, a baby born with a drug addiction and a cleft palate.

Addicted to drugs from birth because of her mother’s substance abuse during pregnancy, new-born Megan is taken into Rosie’s loving care. Rosie is supposed to help Megan find her new permanent home, but it turns out that Megan has already found her ‘forever mummy’ in Rosie.

Rosie grows incredibly attached to Megan and applies to adopt her, but the system refuses her in favour of a young couple and Rosie is devastated. Against all her instincts, Rosie does her job and prepares Megan for her new ‘forever family’, but everything about Megan leaving feels wrong.

When Rosie learns a few months later that Megan’s adoption has broken down, she is saddened but also filled with hope – will this little girl be allowed to return to her true ‘forever home’?

Megan should not have been through such torment, it was clear to hear that the people that wanted to adopt Megan should have been assessed more, especially when they wrote to Rosie about not sending cards ect.. It stands to reason that they should have been stored away then at least Megan could see that she had not been forgotten by Rosie & her family. Their behaviour should have been investigated more, saving the heartache & the insecurity that she injured. It shows that again the authorities are still lacking in some of their judgements.

The stupidity of the authorities lacking common sense sometimes

So many different emotions reading this book. I really felt for Rosie and her family and stayed up till 3am to find out the outcome. Don’t want to post any spoilers but I really couldn’t believe Social Services stance and being adopted myself I really felt strongly for the poor child.

Fantastic book. Couldn’t put it down
