Growing a family isn’t always easy

Sometimes mommies and daddies need a little help

Follow a couple as they experience the hopes, dreams and disappointments of creating a family and how the generosity and love of others grows into the most wonderful gift. You Were Meant for Me is a look into the unique and wonderful ways that some families are made and the journey of love that brings them together.

Using symbolism and sweet rhyming lyrics, You Were Meant For Me introduces the complicated topic of being born from sperm, egg or embryo donation, to a young child. By giving children the “pieces of the puzzle,” this book sparks their imagination and stimulates them to ask questions.

The inspiration for You Were Meant for Me

a note from the author

I am a mother of children born through the awesome gift of donors. With infertility on the rise, an increasing number of children and families face these unique and confusing issues and it can be difficult to know how and when to start this conversation. In my book, the sweet, heartfelt narrative gives families a tool to begin that journey with their child.

While searching for books to start this journey with my own son, I found that there was a need for a broader storyline; one that embraces a multitude of creation stories beyond traditional IVF—a storyline that resonates with all those involved in the process.

Whether it’s a new mother, father, or someone who might be struggling with options to grow their family, I feel that this book speaks to the heart of a parent as much as it does the child.
