This is bizarre but since it is all in the family I am fine with it. The pregnant grandmother has a self interest in seeing more grandchildren and sacrificing her health and body for a new generation. Nothing wrong with that and goes on all the time where the old sacrifice for the young within their family.....

As a mother, she must have gone through the acute disappointment, frustration, depression, guilt and anger of her own child trying time after time to conceive. Believe me, it rips your heart out. Most Grandmother’s would die without thinkng to protect their grandchildren. It seems very natural that this grandmother would give the gift of the use of her womb and body to bring the fullfillment of motherhood to her daughter and life to her grandchild. It seems a gift of God, in itself, that this was medically possible.

My feelings as well. A mother in our area did this a few years ago, for a daughter without a uterus.

I found this to be a most interesting and profound quote by the surrogate.

Chad and Chelsea understand that Grandma Arlette carried them because their mom didn’t have a uterus.

“They also know they are from their parents, Christa and Kevin, and that I just sat on the nest,” she said.
