Nobody Comes Anthony Cleary

This is the true story of the (ultimately successful) endeavour to find, extract and adopt an infant from an ?orphanage? in post revolutionary Romania despite the unhelpful and sometimes downright obstructive attitude of both the UK and the Romanian authorities.

The author describes the horrors of Orphanage Number One in Bucharest, the poverty and endemic corruption which he faced on a daily basis and his struggle to raise awareness in both jurisdictions of the damage inflicted upon the children by the general indifference to their plight.

The book also recounts the remarkable friendship which was forged with a Bucharest University graduate who became interpreter, guide and, ultimately, Godfather to the child who was rescued.
