Super. Friggin. Weird.

She's carrying her son's child. Too odd to wrap my head around.

Sweet. “You and your Daddy came out of grandma’s tummy.” THAT’S going to be one interesting conversation.

1)surrogate isn't the mother, the ovule didn't come from her so the comment about incest are gross. 2)kids want to know their history and in France there are a lot of people fighting to know who is the sperm donor that helped their parents or biological mum in the case of a childbirth under X. In this case there is no stranger to find and this will not remain a taboo in this familly or they wouldn't have make the photoshoot. 3) I would gladly surrogate for one of my sisters or cousins, I wouldn't feel "mother" of their baby, I would do it because I love them, this woman doesn"t have to be a possessive MIL. She is probably a good person loving her son. 4) I'm less confortable about the stranger surrogate. It looks like an uterus rental. Doesn't anyone remember about the people going to rent a Thaï woman uterus and not taking the child because his dawn syndrome? Using woman's poverty to make them carry your child sound really better to me than asking some relative that just want to help?

I'm my own Grandpa

Beautiful! Big smiles at this. :)

If I would be able to do something for my children if they would struggle with something, I would do everything! Every available part of my body would be offered for them. And to be surrogate mother for your children happiness is more honor as task! That is, how mothers love their children!

I think this is just beautiful! And I am not weirded out by the fact that the mother carries out her own grandchild. I would be worried about her impact in his upbringing. I think its much harder telling the grandma off, if she was such a big part in the whole process.

I dont know how to feel. I guess it is a happy moment for all of them. It is a heroic thing to do for a woman not so young...It is like she gave birth to her son and then to his son..I think we shouldn't look at it in a sexual way, but think of it as a truly mother's instinct- you do whatever for your child.

It's nice but if it were me, I'd just feel so weird about it :/ Like she has to share the baby with the surrogate but anyway..

Best Mom ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mom didn't have all her uterus but had both functioning ovaries. The baby is 100 percent the young couples child. The mom in law loved them enough to carry the baby. Of course she was impregnated in vitro. It was a wonderful kind gift she gave them. I can understand it completely. My daughter had a difficult time carrying a child. I offered to carry her baby if she couldnt get pregnant. Thankfully after lots of fertility drugs, she got her baby girl. Family is family.

Here I will dumb it down for some of you....daughter-in-laws egg and sons sperm are put in a little dish to fertilize the egg....the egg is then moved into mother-in-laws womb kinda like a rented room for 9 months. Nothing weird or gross about it. Its biologically her daugher-in-law and sons baby, all she did was carry it.

This is creepy. Guy picks a girl that looks like his mum, then get his mum pregnant.

Beautiful story. Crazy how much the surrogate soon to be grandmother looks like her daughter in law!

I'm not really sure why people are seeing this as weird. If they were using her genetic material then yeah that would be weird, but she's literally just providing a place for the embryo to develop for 7 months. And this way they can experience the baby kicking and so on in a way that would be much more difficult with a surrogate you weren't so close to. Kudos to the mother in law though - pregnancy is very stressful on the body, especially if you're an older mother. Going through all that for her son and daughter in law is very generous.

Aww! Weird, but so sweet!

How beautiful! They needed help and mum stepped in. Love this

Okay. the guilt tripping Mother problem IS bad enough. This is insanity mean the oft used, "I carried and gave birth to you, raised you, and this is the thanks I get?" Can you imagine adding on "AND I carried YOUR kid as well" No. Just shoot me please.

Nope, no, no, no... Oh, noes!!!!

Consider organ transplant. There are countless stories of a family member donating an organ for another family member. Suppose a son donates a healthy liver to his mom, is that weird? Or a brother donates an organ to his brother, is that weird? The MIL is donating her uterus to her DIL. Is there uterus being removed? No. But the DIL is still using her MIL's uterus. The uterus is a specialized organ that has only one purpose. I've heard of stories where instead of the grandmother carrying her grandchild, it's the aunt carrying their neice/nephew. Odd, unusual? Yes. But I don't see anything wrong here.

I think this is fabulous. The embryo is not the surrogates child so choosing a mother to surrogate is a wonderful option. If you understood the whole IVF process and the emotional upset of seeing your child not be able to conceive you would then understand a mother wanting to surrogate.

I think this is beautiful and I'm sure the child will be just fine with everything!

“Oh, that is great news, honey. I mean, it’s not such great news for the 600,000 kids in foster care, but if she wants a fresh one…Oh, jeez, everyone wants one that looks like them, it’s so selfish.” - Maria Bamford's mom

It definitely is weird BUT it is only strange because we usually associate pregnancy with naturally conceived children and not invitro and other fertilization methods. I just thought it was so unbelievably amazing of the mom to give birth to her grandchild...It's NOT easy and not a fun thing to do. Wow

The mother surely does look very much like the daughter in law, so it's kind of weird, maybe the guy wanted it...

To each their own... but.... i find it conflicting that they are "praying" for the baby, when its science that has made this dream come true for them

Just weird

Id be concerned with the baby coming out with some sort of inbread deficencitiey

That “oven” picture creeps me out.
