A 61-year-old woman has given birth to her own granddaughter — after carrying the baby for her son and his husband.
Matthew Eledge, 32, and Elliot Dougherty, 29, recently welcomed daughter Uma Louise Dougherty-Eledge thanks to the kind help of Matthew's mum, Cecile Eledge.
Cecile said she had "no hesitation"
in offering to be their surrogate when they revealed they wanted to start a family.
However, before it could happen, there was a lengthy process to determine whether she was fit to carry a baby due to her age.
Once doctors gave the go-ahead, the US-based couple used an egg donated by Elliot's sister, Lea Yribe — while Matthew donated the sperm.
