Can you get a grant for IVF treatment?

Pamela Hirsh was inspired to create the Baby Quest Foundation after seeing her daughter struggle to conceive.  For nearly three years Pamela watched her daughter and son-in-law deal with recurrent miscarriage and then discover she was unable to carry a child herself and needed a surrogate. 

 Pamela talks about ' the demon of infertility and the issue of insurance companies who refuse to cover the costs of physicians, labs, and medications. Whereas there are private groups and governmental agencies that deal with adoption and foster children, there are few companies, if any, that fund procedure for physical intervention in pregnancy. If you know someone who has been touched by infertility or if you cannot imagine life without your children or grandchildren, I hope you will support us with a contribution.'
