What We All Want - When Wanting a Child & IVF Becomes Who We Are
Today's post comes courtesy of Angie Best-Boss of How To Make a Family: The Blog at http://howtomakeafamily.typepad.com. Angie brought this following article from the NY Times to my attention via her blog, and I wanted to make certain that she got due credit. It is a beautiful article that is both moving and inspirational. Let me know what you think.
"IT was on Sept. 29, the day the first bailout failed, and I was on the train from Carroll Gardens to the financial district — an area I normally hit only for Century 21 — for drugs. Not recreational drugs, vestiges of my waning youth, but the outrageously expensive fertility medications not covered by my insurance. (Thank you, national health care system.) I was setting out for the law office of an extraordinarily charitable woman who no longer needed her drugs and whose far more beneficent insurance plan covered them. I had never met her and she was about to hand over a cooler of these medications in the lobby."
