US Surrogate Mother Gives Birth to Own Grandkids
(submitted by gekkogecko)
Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!
DALLAS (Reuters) - A 52-year-old Texas woman has given
birth to her own grandchildren -- a pair of twin girls
she bore as a surrogate mother for her
daughter-in-law.
Marianne Thoms, of Levelland, Texas, was released from
the hospital and returned home Wednesday, three days
after giving birth to the girls at Covenant Medical
Center in the northwest Texas city of Lubbock.
"We were glad to get them into this world," Thoms said
in a telephone interview. She added that the pregnancy
was pretty easy, even though it had been about 28
years since she last gave birth.
Hospital officials said they did not know whether
there were other cases of a surrogate mother giving
birth to her own grandchildren.
Thoms volunteered for the role on behalf of her son
Shawn Reed and his wife Traci, who could not give
birth because of scarring in her uterus.
Shawn and Traci Reed underwent an in-vitro
fertilization procedure in San Antonio. A doctor told
them it would be best to find a family member to serve
as a surrogate mother in order to avoid legal
complications over custody of the children.
Thoms, a pilot, skydiver and scuba diver, stepped
forward. "This pregnancy was much more exciting than
those adventures," she said.
The twin girls, Sydney and Morgan, are still in the
hospital but are in good health.
Thoms said she cannot wait to play with the
grandchildren to whom she gave birth.

I wonder if the little girls will call her "Grand-mama mama" or "Mama Emeritus?"

I'm more shocked at her age than by the fact that she carried her own grandkids! lol

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

I'd shoot myself if my mother in law even considered it. Good thing she's too stuck on her daughter's life to notice us.

Will she be breast feeding her grandkids-kids?
What would happen if one of the twins would go back in time and have sex with their father or grandfather and had gotten pregnant?
What verb tense would we use to describe something we are about to do in the future, but we have to go into the past to stop it from occuring right now?
