The 70-year-old revealed that she was inspired by a "wonderful woman" that she met in an antique shop who had already adopted two children from the country.

They had their bags packed for the trip to Romania “to find a sister or brother for Chloe.”

“My suitcase was filled with clothes and toys for the new child,” she writes in the heartbreaking new read, currently available in Australian bookstores. “I think it was my gut instinct that this was something I needed to do.”
