My 2yo daughter loves this book. She is fascinated by the doctor, the baby bump, and the baby in the book. I read it several times a week, mostly by her request, and I think it will help her a lot in understanding her birth story. The author did a wonderful job. It is actually fun to read this story.

My almost 3 year old loves this book! She asks frequently to read the "baby book" as she calls it. I love it because it does a great job introducing the topic of embryo donation in an age appropriate way.

This is the best children's book I've read on embryo donation. It is very sweet and child appropriate. I highly recommend this book for any parent who has a child from an embryo donation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect book!

I absolutely LOVE this book. I read it to my baby bump 🥰 two nights ago and I was crying so hard by the end. This book just perfectly explains in simple terms what we went through to get him. I’m glad I have several months to keep reading it out loud so by the time I’m reading it to my son I’m not crying anymore. Thank you for writing it!!

Filled with love, sentimentality, and the undeniable power of giving, You Were Meant For Mewould make a beautiful gift for a new baby, Mother’s Day, or any time a parent wants to shower their child born from an egg, sperm, or embryo donation, with affection. A wholesome introduction to the topic, the sturdy board book edition is an excellent choice for the youngest readers who are bound to be drawn in by the sweet, colorful illustrations.

Heartfelt and delivered with lyrical, rhyming text, author Sheri Sturniolo beautifully acknowledges the difficulties some adults face when trying to grow their families.

Every child is born into this world in their own unique way. This particular story is about how one lucky baby came into the world thanks to a donor. It’s a heartwarming love story of a husband and wife, working with their doctor to find just the right pieces to complete their puzzle. Thanks to another human’s willingness to share just the right puzzle piece, a baby is born.
