A touching story from the British capital: a Hungarian couple could not have kids, so the granny gave birth to their child.
Childlessness can harm certain couples’ relationships, but there are ways to help. One is artificial insemination. The other is adoption, although neither of these is easy in Hungary. However, a Hungarian couple living in London decided otherwise: they turned to one of the grannies.
According to atv.hu, they tried artificial insemination before, but it was not successful. Their last hope to have a child was to find a gestational carrier, a woman who carries and delivers a child for a couple or individual. A gestational carrier can only be the relative of the father or the genetic mother and cannot accept money for the process. Meanwhile, a surrogate mother can be anybody and can receive payment for carrying and giving birth to the child.
They could not find a Hungarian doctor
The Hungarian couple asked the woman’s mother for help, who immediately agreed. The 60-year-old future grandmother accepted to carry and give birth to her grandchild.
However, they found no doctor in Hungary to help them in the process. Hungarian medics said there might be too many complications because of the age of the grandmother.
Therefore, the family travelled to the United Kingdom, where the wonder happened. The grandmother can make the biggest dream of the happy couple come true.
