Nebraska surrogate gives birth to her son and his husband’s baby girl

When Matthew Eledge, 32, and Elliot Dougherty, 29, began considering IVF as an option for conceiving a child two years ago – Matthew’s 61-year-old mother offered to be their surrogate. She gave birth to her healthy granddaughter – Uma – Monday.

Cecile Eledge went through menopause 10 years ago, but a reproductive endocrinologist in her hometown of Omaha, Nebraska identified her as a ‘suitable host.’ Elliot’s 26-year-old sister – already a mother herself – donated her eggs to the couple.

Doctors were stunned when Cecile was able to give birth naturally, instead of the C-section procedure they’d anticipated.
