Another Woman Gives Birth to Own Grandchildren
In a weird continuation of an already weird trend I covered last March, another woman has become a surrogate mother to her own grandchildren.
Tina Cade, 55, of Richmond, VA gave birth to triplets on December 28th. She carried the children for her oldest daughter, Camille Hammond. Hammond has endometriosis, a condition that makes pregnancy difficult. She and her husband had tried to get pregnant for four years without success.
The previous case I’ve read of involved a 52-year-old Texas woman who gave birth to twins for her daughter.
I know it’s sweet and all, but doesn’t carrying triplets get kind of dangerous for both the babies and the mother/surrogate/whatever when you get into your fifties? And why does all this weird shit seem to go down in the South, anyway? Isn’t that where the people who say we should stop using science and medicine to interfere with God’s plans come from?
