Our Dream in His Hands - IVF Led Us to You
As the author of "Our Dream in His Hands," I wrote this book to share my personal journey with infertility and IVF, and to offer hope and encouragement to other couples who may be going through a similar experience. It was a long and difficult journey for me and my husband, and we were constantly seeking guidance and strength from God throughout the process.
I wanted to share our story in a way that was relatable and accessible to young children, as well as enjoyable for the whole family. By including Bible quotes on each page, I hoped to emphasize the importance of faith and prayer in our journey and to remind readers that God is always present and guiding us, even during the most challenging times.
As a mother, I know how important it is to have age-appropriate resources for children to learn about complex issues like infertility and IVF. I wrote this book with the hope that it would not only educate and inform young children about the IVF process, but also provide comfort and support to families who may be struggling with infertility.
