Kelley (28) and Aaron McKissack (33) had tried for three years to have a baby of their own. The couple attempted multiple infertility treatments and experienced three miscarriages.
The last one ended in heartbreak on Christmas day in 2014. However, the final round of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) did leave the couple with four remaining embryos.
Kelley’s mother, Tracey Thompson then offered to be a surrogate for her daughter and son—in—law, using the remaining embryos from previous treatment, the Medical Centre of Plano, Texas said in a statement.
‘Greatest gift’
“My lovely mom offered to give me to greatest gift I could ever have in my life,” Kelley said on her mother’s gesture.
When Kelley was a teenager, she had jokingly asked her mother to carry her baby.
“She said, ‘If I can’t carry my own baby will you carry it for me?’ ” Ms. Thompson told CNN affiliate KTVT. “Of course I would, not dreaming that I would actually be doing it.”
This promise was kept when an embryo was successfully implanted into Ms. Thompson in April 2015. She was seven years past menopause but in excellent health.
