Make room on the mantle for one woman in Maine to get mother- and grandmother-of-the-year awards.

That's because 49-year-old Linda Sirois gave birth to her own grandson earlier this month.

That accomplishment might sound complicated, but actually Sirois acted as a surrogate for her daughter who has a heart condition that makes it unsafe for her to become pregnant, the Portland Press Herald reports.

On Aug. 13, Sirois gave birth by C-section to 7-pound, 14-ounce Madden Hebert as his mom Angel Hebert stood nearby, the Daily Mail said

"It was all pretty simple as far as I was concerned," Sirois told the Portland Press Herald. "I just saw it as I was babysitting for a few months."

Sirois told her 25-year-old daughter for years that she would be a surrogate if Hebert was unable to get pregnant. Hebert and her 29-year-old husband, Brian, were told just that by a doctor last summer, the Associated Press reports.

"It was pretty disappointing and we were pretty upset about it," Hebert told the Portland Press Herald. "But we kind of had an idea that it was a possibility and, all along, my mother was saying, 'I'm here and I can carry for you.'"

Sirois made good on her offer and had Hebert's egg -- fertilized with her husband's sperm -- successfully implanted.

She told the Herald that compared to her four previous pregnancies, this one may have been the easiest, with no morning sickness or complications.

"It was awesome," Hebert, who was in the delivery room with her mother, told the Herald. "It was an awesome, awesome experience."

Sirois told the Herald it's not unusual for a grandmother to be a surrogate for her own grandchild.

"It was their child all along," she said. "It was just a room for rent."

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, kinda creepy.

very,,,,,


but on the plus, it has a mom and dad that were and always will be its mom and dad and who are together as a family,,

But it was all so 'unnatural', isn't there some religious law against that kind of unnatural birthing. I mean doesn't that pre-empt God, after all, in the Bible didn't he present a baron woman with a child in her old age, where's the patience.

This kind of thing could destroy civil society as we know it, even bring God's wrath down upon a nation. It's confusing to the child to,no the child has two moms and they're related on top of it.

???? your ok with gays getting married, but this offends you? that seems like a zig-zaggy line you have there...

Don't get me wrong, I am for this process but there is something wrong with this.........

I will go on record to say

I THINK IT'S GREAT

Don't find it creepy or unnatural at all.
Best person in the world to carry.

No big deal at all - just a womb to rent.

Congratulations to this wonderful family.

she doesnt have 'two' moms

she has a mom and dad, the egg and sperm donors she came from who will also be raising her together,,,

I do agree its 'unnatural' though, as children are created in NATURE by a male and female lying down together,,,

Well, I was just applying many of same arguments that are used against gays, I pay attention.

Well, there ya go, see gays and lesbians can have their own children and like 50% or more of heterosexuals, those children are being raised in a household where at least one of the parents is their natural parent. Somehow thier 'potential' for creating life was not diminished by their gaydom.

no gay couples can not have 'their own' children,, they can have one or the others child and raise it together as 'their own'

that is not similar to this situation

"THEY' did not create the life, one of them did with SOMEONE ELSE,, who is not going to be the partner to raising the child they created,,

In this day and age, I don't find this to be very unusual.
Congratulations to this family!
