美国58岁妇女为女儿代孕外甥女
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]A 58-year-old Utah woman is set to give birth in a few weeks -- to her first grandchild.[/b][/size][/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]美国犹他州普洛佛，一名58岁的妇女未来几周内即将产下她的第一个外甥女。[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Julia Navarro is serving as a gestational surrogate for her daughter and son-in-law after the couple struggled with fertility problems.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Navarro's daughter Lorena McKinnon said she began trying to have a baby with her husband, Micah McKinnon, three years ago. The 32-year-old Provo woman said she's had about a dozen miscarriages, with the longest [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/95349.html?1389601897]pregnancy[/url] lasting 10 weeks.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]After several tries, the couple began looking for a surrogate. McKinnon said a friend and sister both considered carrying her baby, but ultimately decided against it.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]That's when her mother offered to step in.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"As a family, we have to help each other," Navarro told The Salt Lake Tribune .[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Navarro had to undergo hormone shots for three months before an embryo fertilized by her daughter and son-in-law could be implanted. Because of her age, doctors had warned there was only a 45 percent chance the implantation would be successful.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]But the procedure was a [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/95349.html?1389601897]success[/url], and Navarro said she's had a smooth pregnancy carrying a developing baby girl.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]As with other surrogacy arrangements, the couple and Navarro needed three months of counseling.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"The psychologists wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting into -- that we were mentally prepared," McKinnon said. "Mostly,[b] surrogacy（替身代孕） [/b]contracts are with people you don't know. It was weird to have a contract with my mom."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]It's unclear how rare it is for a woman to carry her own grandchild, but recent news reports have detailed similar relationships.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Last year, a 53-year-old Iowa woman gave birth to her twin granddaughters. And in 2012, a 49-year-old woman in Maine gave birth to her grandson.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]McKinnon said she was grateful and overwhelmed by her mother's offer, which eases some of the obstacles and financial burdens for parents using a [b]gestational（妊娠期的）[/b] surrogate.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]According to Utah law, surrogates must be 21 or older, financially stable and must have already given birth once.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Couples must be married and are allowed to offer a reasonable payment to a surrogate.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]On average, a couple can spend about $60,000 on procedures and paying the surrogate, but McKinnon said her mother's offer to help is saving the couple about half of that.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Both she and her [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/95349.html?1389601897]daughter[/url] said they've bonded over the experience.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The baby girl is due in early February.[/size][/font][color=#454545][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial][size=14px]
