18 Years In The Making For This Child We Prayed: Our Emotional Journey Through IVF, Fostering and Adoption to Our Miracle Natural Conception (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922714206)

Motherhood is something incredibly special that most women want to experience in their lives.

While some find pregnancy easy, there are some that find having a child an enormous challenge and for others, impossible.

This is one mother's story of the trials, disappointments and excitement she and her husband, Ian, travelled on their road from infertility to family.

Eighteen years is a lifetime. With attempts at IVF, fostering and overseas adoption not coming to fruition they had resigned themselves to only ever being a couple...then a miracle happened.

This must-read book is a raw and honest account of the heartache, fears and excitement Leanne and Ian experienced, proving that miracles really do happen.

"Leanne's book is a real and thought-provoking account of the experience of infertility. However, it is more than just her experience. This book evokes compassion, joy and a deeper understanding of grief and loss regarding infertility. Leanne has a compelling voice; I was engaged in her and Ian's journey. The disappointment, difficulties, the rawness with the joy and humour. I highly recommend this book to those who are dealing with infertility and the professionals that are engaged with them."
