Our Family Love Story Shannon Rios Paulsen

For all those families created in a very special way (adoption, IVF, surrogacy, fertility issues, embryo donation/adoption, egg donation, surrogacy, sperm donation) through patience, love, and a little magic. For those special kids that grew in our HEARTS first! This book will allow you to tell them your family's special story: ). No matter how your child magically came into your life (Adoption at any age, IVF, Egg Donor, Sperm Donation, Surrogacy, Embryo Donation/Adoption), it was due to love. This is a beautiful family love story. We believe in our hearts that our children chose us. We hope this book helps you tell your children about your family's special love story and how much you wished for them. This book will ensure your children grow up knowing 100% that we all chose to be part of this beautiful love story. I could not find any books to tell this magical story, so I decided to create it myself. At this point in human history, there are so many special ways to become parents. This book is appropriate for families choosing adoption at any age, surrogate births, embryo donation, egg donation, IVF, sperm donation, and so many other ways families are now magically created. Shannon R Rios Paulsen, MS LMFT is a family therapist and author of four other books (www.healthychildrenofdivorce.com, www.manifestingbaby.com, www.inlovewithme.com ). This book was born from her personal motherhood journey. She wrote this book for her own children and all the other children out there who took a bit of magic, wishing, and prayer to bring into the world. Her hope is that this book will help many parents and children easily talk about their love story, whatever that may be. There are two places in the book where you can feel free to share with your kids what you believe and what is age-appropriate for them. The book gives you ideas for what to tell your children in the introduction based your your family situation. Other versions are being created for families of all types (if you have a special request for your family i.e single mom, two moms, two dads, single dad, etc) feel free to email the author directly at shannon.r.rios@gmail.com with your request. Wishing you and your magical kids all the very best!
