50-ish Plaino, Texas grandmother, Tracey Thompson, gave birth to her own grandchild. Her daughter and son-in-law had been trying to have a child for quite a long time. After three heartbreaking miscarriages they were going to the next step of infertility treatments when Tracey gave them another option. She would carry the baby. The last four embryos were implanted last April and today (Friday) they all went home with the newest family member, Kelcey McKissack. Grandmother had a cesarean delivery and all are fine. The baby was 6 pounds 11 ounces. Isn't this a touching story?

Yes, it is a case of close net giving isn't it?

I have heard of a similar story as well. Grandmother had C-section of her own grand child, but I don't think the woman had a miscarriage, she was just infertile.

I don't know if I could give away a baby I carried for nine months. I do understand the grandmothers sentiment, and the children's gratitude.

It would be difficult and the I think the grandma bit it knocked up a step or two, don't you?

Very touching story. I can not have kids because of my medical condition so my sister said she would carry one for me when I was ready to have a kid

That is good of your sister. Not everyone would do that.

Mine was able too. Not sure I would have done though if she hadn't.

No because many people know the story--kids are cruel and that kid will have a rough time begin teased and bullied. The family will also be made fun of and how does the grandmother not be a mother to the child?

Yes, and it shows the love of a mother to give of herself like this.

She isn't the first who has done the same thing. Never having had kids I certainly wouldn't want to be preggers at that age.

Shows what a mother can do for her daughter. A true heart touching story. A few more surrogate deliveries like this and people won't go childless anymore.

Yes. It is a wonderful outcome to a sometimes very sad family portrait.
