In At Any Cost, for the first time Mike and Hayley Jones share their remarkable, chaotic, intercontinental story of adopting eight siblings from Sierra Leone. Facing doubts from within, character assaults from without, and a mind-numbing bureaucratic jungle, the Joneses and their two young biological sons embarked on a 34-month heart-wrenching odyssey that gave birth to "The Jones Dozen."
Mike and Hayley Jones already had two biological sons (ages 9 and 5) when they decided the time was right to pursue adoption. After a 3-year process, the family now calls themselves the “Jones Dozen.” All eight adopted children (ranging in age from 5 to 16) are biological siblings, comprised of seven boys and one girl, who came from a family where the father had died and the mother was unable to support the family. The Joneses make their home in Franklin, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville.
