Dominic Adams From the Author Our Heaven Baby is our family's true story of pregnancy, miscarriage, and talking to our kids about Heaven. We had two children and then went through a season of recurrent miscarriages where we lost three babies in a row. Our kids were three and five years old at the time, and we wanted to tell them about their siblings honestly but also hopefully. After learning about their siblings in Heaven, our kids were so fascinated by the fact that they had family members in Heaven. They would proudly tell anyone who would listen.
