Generous grandmother becomes surrogate for her son, then this happens at the birth

This couple Kayla and Cody Jones were more than ready to start a family.

When Kayla was a teen she had a partial hysterectomy, leaving her unable to carry children.

The Arkansas, couple had been searching for the perfect surrogate since they were married in 2012.

They delighted couple accepted a unique offer from Cody’s mom, Patty Resecker, who volunteered to carry their unborn baby after a number of options didn’t work out.

You heard it right—the baby’s grandmother was going to be the gestational carrier.

(It’s important to note that gestational carrier is the correct term in a case like this, where a woman carries a baby made from another woman’s egg. A surrogate is someone who carries a baby made from her own egg for another couple.)

Kayla comments “At first I thought the doctors may think I was a bit crazy, but as I researched I found other grandmothers who had been surrogates. After much testing, my mother-in-law was cleared to carry our baby!”

The couple had an embryo transferred into Resecker’s uterus in March 2017, After undergoing IVF in October 2016, but it didn’t take on this occasion.

In May 2017 they gave it a second attempt and transferred another embryo where this time Resecker at age 50 became pregnant.

Kayla and Cody were able to do the initial pregnancy test at home themselves to make the experience extra special.

“The day we found out was the second best day of my life (the first best day was the day Kross was born!)”

Kayla tells us “Patty left a urine in a specimen cup on her porch before she left for work,”

“I picked it up and my husband and I tested at home. I cannot describe the feeling of seeing two pink lines!” she said.

All went well with the pregnancy and baby Kross Allen Jones was born on 30th December via c- section.

Resecker claims it was a privilege and a rewarding experience to carry her own grandchild for her son and daughter-in-law.

“This is something that has blessed not only me and my family but also Kayla’s family,” she said.

Also adding “A child is a lifetime commitment and I knew there weren’t two more deserving people than them. To see them with Kross and see the parents they’re already becoming thrills my soul.”
