The idea for Embaby Elio grew from one of the most important journeys of my life. IVF is a road filled with hope, heartache, waiting, and an almost fierce kind of love that begins long before your baby ever arrives.

 

As I walked that path, I thought often about the little ones who come into the world this way, how extraordinary their story is, and how much they deserve to know it. Every embryo baby carries with them a history of longing, of science and faith working together, of parents who fought hard to simply say hello. I wanted to write a story that honored that.

 

Embaby Elio became my way of giving IVF families a gift - words to help tell their child's story with warmth, fun, wonder, and so much love. Because these babies are answered prayers, miracles through grace, and living proof that love finds a way.

 

I hope this book sits on the nightstand of every IVF family, read over many times and well-loved. I hope it helps parents find the words, and I hope it helps children grow up knowing just how deeply wanted they were, even before the world knew their name.
