As the millennium dawned, Bethany Hallett was looking forward to her 40th birthday. Without a husband or partner, Bethany's dream of motherhood was looking increasingly distant.

On returning to the UK from New York, she began to look into adopting a child in search of a `forever' mummy. This is the true story of a family in the making, one fraught with tension yet full of love.
