Maybe this is a twist on surrogacy in a very GOOD way....with all the 'news' about 'professional surrogates', outsourcing surrogacy to India, surrogacy laws being passed in Australia etc. and so on a mother giving the ultimate gift to her daughter, children of her own to love and raise, is a breath of fresh air. I know how it feels to give birth to twins at 41 and it was no picnic so I find it hard to comprehend how a 56 year old carrying triplets felt physically. Congratulations and kudos for a job well done Jaci, Kim and Joe. Really...that's all that needs to be said!

A twist on surrogacy
Woman gives birth to her own grandchildren
By: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND (AP) - Not only has a 56-year-old Ohio woman given birth to triplets, but they're her own granddaughters.
Jaci Dalenberg of Wooster carried the babies as a surrogate for her daughter, Kim Coseno. The two identical twins and their sister were born by Caesarean section Oct. 11 at the Cleveland Clinic's Hillcrest Hospital in Mayfield Heights and are still in the hospital's care. They were more than two months premature and each weighed less than three pounds.
A Cleveland Clinic news release says infants and grandmother are all doing well.
According to a Clinic spokesman, Dalenberg offered herself as a surrogate when Kim Coseno and her husband, Joe, were waiting to adopt. The couple used in vitro fertilization, and embryos were implanted in Dalenberg's uterus.
