Ellie: Rainbow's End Summary

Ellie: Rainbow's End by John Ley-Morgan

After the disappointments of unsuccessful fertility treatments and the realisation that they are not to be one of the lucky few to conceive, John and Anne Ley-Morgan struggle to fulfil the wish of a lifetime.This frank and honest account details the couple's frustrations and the problems they encounter as they negotiate the minefield known as Overseas Adoption - and their unwavering hope and determination throughout the journey. This is the story of John and Anne as they pursue the end of their own personal rainbow to find a daughter in need on the other side of the world. It's also the story of the family Ellie leaves behind: her twin sister, Huyen, brought up in Vietnam by her birth mother until the two are finally reunited eleven years later. For John and Anne, adopting Ellie unexpectedly fills more than one void in their lives as they finally achieve what they have always wanted - a complete family.

About John Ley-Morgan

John Ley-Morgan was born in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset in 1938. He read mathematics at university and, after a 5-year Short Service Commission in the Royal Navy, taught for 30 years in the Bristol area. Taking early retirement in 1993, he enrolled at the University of the West of England to read law and then practiced as a solicitor for a further 12 years. He is a local councillor, a past mayor of WsM and his hobbies include family history research. He is also new to beekeeping. Anne Ley-Morgan was born in London in 1954 but her family soon moved to her mother's home town of Exmouth, Devon. She trained as a PE teacher at Bedford College before starting her first job at Backwell, Somerset where she met John. She then managed her own small hotel in North Devon before opening a health food shop and restaurant in Weston which ran successfully for 14 years. Anne returned to full-time teaching in 2000 and currently works at a local comprehensive where she teaches Food Technology and Child Development.
