Love makes people do incredible things. That was the case for Cecile Eledge, a 61-year-old woman from Omaha, Nebraska, who recently gave birth to her own granddaughter. Cecile volunteered to be a surrogate for her son, Matthew Eledge and his husband, Elliot Dougherty, so the couple could become parents. Their story became viral because of the woman's age and for her willingness to help her son. Thankfully, it has all been a great success.

Because of her age, the process took over two years because there were procedures and tests that she had to go through to make sure that her body was able and healthy enough to be a gestational carrier. After the long waiting period, she was cleared to go through with the pregnancy and on March 25 she gave birth to a healthy and beautiful baby girl named Uma Louise Dougherty-Eledge, who weighed 5 pounds 13 ounces.
