the mother applies

Maree remembers being devastated by the loss of her grandson and never imagined that she could serve as a “replacement” for her daughter’s pregnancy. After much research, medical and psychological consultations and legal proceedings, the woman decided, at the age of 54, to apply.

Maree was already in menopause and therefore had to take medication to reverse the process and prepare her body for pregnancy, which would be achieved through artificial insemination.

After three unsuccessful embryo transfer attempts, the fourth was successful. Currently, Maree is 30 weeks old, and even 22 years after her last pregnancy, she said she felt great to give her daughter this dream.

“It’s a very special experience for me, I’m over the moon to do this for my daughter. I think there are many ways to get pregnant nowadays, it was just another option. We really want to show people that it is possible. And I can’t wait to meet my grandson, ”he commented.
