How hard can it be?

When Clare and Jeremy Wilson are ushered into a hospital room to meet a newborn baby in intensive care, they are already ten years into a painful and grief-filled journey towards starting a family. But things aren’t about to get any easier; as foster carers for a baby born with a heroin addiction, they must navigate a tortuous legal route towards adoption, while coming to terms with the neglect inflicted on their son in the womb and the conflicting emotions of anger and compassion they feel towards his biological parents. In the years that follow, Clare and Jeremy go on to adopt two more babies born to drug addicts, each with a heartbreaking start to life. Their story is an exploration of what it truly means to be family, and a testament to hope against seemingly insurmountable odds.
