A 61-year-old Nebraska woman who served as a surrogate mother for her son and his husband has given birth to a baby girl.
Matthew Eledge and Elliot Dougherty were talking about becoming parents when Eledge's mother and Dougherty's sister offered to help.
Cecile Eledge was 60 at the time and had gone through menopause, but she was approved after extensive screening. Dougherty's sister was the egg donor, and after doctors used Eledge's sperm to fertilize the egg, the embryo was implanted. Cecile Eledge gave birth last week at Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. The family says they've received nothing but support.
Dr. Ramzy Nakad is a maternal-fetal medicine specialist who worked with the family. Nakad tells the Omaha World-Herald that doctors keep older expectant mothers under heightened surveillance, and in this case, "Everything was aligned for a good outcome."
