Elenore "Casey" Crane is known in the state of New Hampshire for the work that she has done over the years on infertility legislation. She has pushed for years to introduce legisltation that would require insurance companies throughout the state to pay for infertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization. Her impassioned support has been to no avail.
However, her personal struggle with infertility has seen better results. Part of the reason that she is so passionate about infertility legislation is because she knows first-hand the difficulties of trying to conceive. She spent seventeen years attempting to get pregnant. Two of those years involved intesive infertility treatments which ultimately failed.
But just before Christmas of this year, Crane is expecting her first baby. After a series of disappointments in both the political and personal realm of infertility, she unexpectedly got pregnant. Despite that she ultimately didn't conceive as a result of fertility treatments, she plans to continue her support of the legislation.
Crane considers the entire experience to be a Christmas miracle. Read the whole story here.
