While I Waited For You: An Adoption Story

By Lara Livne

Some families are born, and some are made-but all are bound by love.

In this touching and beautifully illustrated story, we follow the emotional journey of a mother waiting for the child she knows is destined to be hers. For many, the path to parenthood is a straight line, but for others, it is a winding road paved with patience, prayer, and profound hope.

This book is more than just a story about the logistics of adoption; it is a love letter to the child who was worth every second of the wait. It gently explains the concept of adoption to young readers, reassuring them that they were wanted, loved, and dreamed of long before they ever arrived in their mother's arms.

A perfect bedtime read for adoptive families, parents-in-waiting, or anyone looking to celebrate the beautiful diversity of how families are formed. This heartwarming tale proves that while the journey may be long, love knows no bounds, and the best things in life are truly worth waiting for.
