WAITED FOR is a touching documentary that interweaves three stories of South African lesbian women who adopt across racial lines. Such families are a new phenomenon in this young democracy, ruled until 1994 by apartheid policies. Through their stories we see the progress that has been made in South Africa, but also the difficulties that families face when they challenge the traditional hierarchies of race and heterosexism that are still deeply entrenched in the South African psyche.
