Listen as Ellen C. shares with Ellen T. and Jenn:
- Being one of the first women in the world to have a baby by IVF!
- Going through seven major surgeries in two countries and three U.S. States before meeting her miracle baby.
- Wanting just to hold her baby after all she’d been through, but believing it important to share her story and give others hope.
- Facing the claims of ethical, religious, moral backlash head on. Going on national television repeatedly, talking to anyone who would listen so they could understand.
- 40 years later, still fighting for people to understand IVF and its importance.
