At 61, an American woman gave birth to her own granddaughter for her son and his husband. Yes, his husband, you read it right. You will be shocked when you see this unusual couple and their emotions at the moment of their child’s birth.
USA, Nebraska… 61-year-old Cecile Eledge became a surrogate mother for her grandson…
61-year-old resident of the US state of Nebraska, Cecile Eledge, gave birth to her own granddaughter. The woman was carrying a baby for her 32-year-old son Matthew and his 29-year-old husband Elliot Dougherty.
Matthew, the son of a woman in labor, never hid from anyone that he was gay. The parents had nothing against this.
Matthew was in a serious relationship with a young man, Elliot Dougherty, who is 3 years older than him. At some point they decided to get married. The couple thought about children and shared their desire with Cecile.
Matthew and Elliot said they were afraid to contact a specialized agency due to the fact that the attitude towards same-sex marriage in Nebraska is not the most tolerant
After listening to her son and his husband, Cecile offered her services, she told them that she would do it for them with pleasure, because she always liked the state of pregnancy.
Matthew was skeptical about his mother’s proposal, because Cecile was already 61 years old and her childbearing age was long past. But the doctors explained to them that the main thing in surrogacy is the uterus, not the young cells.
His sister Leah gave her egg to Matthew’s brother, and his husband Elliot became the sperm donor.
Cecile underwent preliminary hormone therapy, and then her daughter’s fertilized cell was implanted into her uterus.
The pregnancy proceeded normally, and after 9 months the baby girl Uma was born.
The child was born healthy, and the baby weighed 2.7 kg.
And when Matthew tells Uma the story of her birth, he will say the following: “Your grandmother built a garden, and you grew up in it, and your dear aunt sowed it with her seeds.”
