In celebration of National Adoption Day, Beaverdale Books proudly presents Michelle Gillitzer, author of I Always Knew We Were Meant for You.
As Mama and Papa Bear embark on their path building their adoptive family, they are drawn to special spiritual connections through love. In having a special knowing, like a star’s whisper or a flower’s bloom, they await to embrace their future adopted children. Mama and Papa Bear ponder on all the ways their love has been created for their children, finding peace in knowing their adoptive family is a gift from God-first possible, then beautifully true.
The author will be selecting 2 lucky families for a book giveaway of I Always Knew We Were Meant for You, personally signed by the author. Please come for this joyful event welcoming all families and free stickers for little readers!
Michelle Gillitzer is a professor in academia and nurse practitioner who discovered a deeper purpose in offering hope and healing through writing. Inspired by her own journey towards adoption, she wrote this heartfelt promise for her future children —sharing a message of love, belonging, and compassion for children transitioning into their adoptive families. Through her books, she dreams of planting seeds of love, hope, and healing in the hearts of all who read them.
