A 50 year-old woman in Mexico has given birth to the child of her son, a homosexual businessman who was yearning for a baby. 

The Christian Institute is reporting that the birth occurred on November 1 in Mexico. The woman, whose name is being withheld, said the child was created by in vitro fertilization (IVF) using her son’s sperm and an ovum donated by one of his childhood friends. She claims that her 31 year-old son, known only as Jorge, was pining for a child, and she agreed to assist him by lending him the use of her womb.   

Even though the child is technically her grandchild, she admits to feeling “strange” now that the child is born.

“I don’t feel like a mother nor like a grandmother,” she told Reforma, a Mexico City newspaper. “When they say ‘mother’ to me I feel strange, and when they say ‘grandmother’ also,” she said.

“I mean, he was my first grandson, and I don’t feel that way because at the same time he is my fourth son.”

The mother is currently nursing the child, who is named Dario. The family says they have documented the circumstances of his birth so that he will one day known the truth about his origins.
