Pieces of Leah

There are lots of ways to make babies. But no matter how it happens, every family is special because families love each other no matter what. When a curious little girl named Leah notices a baby at the splash pad, she begins to wonder what she was before she was a baby. Through a gentle, age-appropriate conversation with her parents, Leah learns that while many babies are created from their mommy and daddy's pieces, her parents needed help from another mommy and daddy-and that makes her story even more full of love. Pieces of Leah provides a loving introduction to the topic of embryo adoption and alternative family building. Inspired by her own experience with infertility, author Haylee Woodcock wrote this story as a tool to help parents explain to their children born via embryo adoption or other IVF/adoption-related paths how they came to be.
