The best gift that any family could hope for is a new child, and when one couple was unable to carry a baby of their own, Grandma decided to step in to keep her legacy going.
On October 22, 2016, Meghan Barker gave birth to her own grandson, a healthy baby boy named Gus. Barker’s daughter, Maddie Coleman, was told that she couldn’t deliver a baby on her own, because her ovaries were at a risk for tumors, and worried when she heard a surrogate mother would cost the couple as much as $75,000. That’s when the couple turned to Maggie’s mother for a miracle.
For nine months, 48-year-old Barker carried her own grandson, who was the fourth child she would deliver (already having three of her own). Barker tells KRCR, “The attachment for me was not an issue as people have predicted because in my mind it was biologically their baby. I was just a deluxe easy bake oven.”
“It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life,” she continued.
After delivering her grandson, Barker returned to normal grandmother duties, like bathing Gus and she even provides breast milk for him.
But, still, this grandmother makes no mistake that Gus belongs to her daughter and son-in-law, and she says, “When I see Maddie and Tyler holding him and feeding him and being the mommy and the daddy, it’s the best thing.”
Maddie and her husband are forever grateful for their mother for carrying their child. “This was the biggest gift anybody can receive is becoming a mom and have my mom give me that gift, it’s unexplainable.”
