Anna and Mark are a young couple from Wollongong whose lives take an unexpected turn after watching a documentary on orphaned children. Moved to act, they endure Australia’s exasperating adoption system before deciding there must be another way.

Their search for a meaningful life – and children who need a home – takes them to Tanzania, where they settle beneath Mt Kilimanjaro with their two children, Jackson and Jemima.

In Moshi, they discover Forever Angels Baby Home, a sanctuary for babies in crisis. There, Anna meets premature twins restored to health—and learns they have an older brother, malnourished and near death. Anna and Mark say yes to all three. Suddenly, their family grows to five young children under five, and their days become a whirlwind of nappies, monkeys in the backyard, unreliable power, and the shadow of Africa’s highest peak.

For years, they battle Tanzanian bureaucracy, fearing they may lose the children they’ve come to love. Against the odds—and with more than a little faith—they secure the adoption, climb Kilimanjaro, and return to Australia with a story that inspires.

But the faces of the many children left behind linger. Out of that ache comes Forever Projects, their charity supporting Tanzanian families in crisis so babies can stay with their mothers, at home, forever.

A tale of courage, love, and hope, this is one family’s extraordinary journey across continents—and the legacy born from it.

Fair Play Publishing is donating $2 from the sale of every copy of Home, Forever to Forever Projects.
