A 54-year-old woman gave birth to her granddaughter Wednesday afternoon after agreeing to carry the child for her daughter.
Kelley McKissack, 28, and her husband had tried for three years to have a baby of their own then turned to fertilization treatments.
"My husband and I tried for a baby for three years," Kelley McKissack said. "After numerous failed attempts we moved over to infertility treatment, which did turn into pregnancies but all turned into miscarriages."
The couple's last of three miscarriages happened on Christmas in 2014.
"We ran a ton of tests and couldn’t figure out why it was happening, and my lovely mom offered to give me the greatest gift I could ever have in my life," McKissack said.
McKissack's mother, Tracey Thompson, offered to carry her daughter's child as a surrogate.
