Kristine Casey is not just any grandmother to her grandson, Finnean. She is also his surrogate mother.
Casey, then 61, gave birth to Finnean in February 2011 after her daughter, Sara Connell, struggled with infertility. Connells egg and husband Bills sperm were used in the in vitro fertilization procedure, making the couple Finneans biological parents, and Casey the gestational carrier of their child.
The idea, we never could have fathomed, Connell, 36, said today on Good Morning America. I felt so connected with Finn and with my mom and yet it was a completely surreal, really fantastic situation.
Connell tells the story of their familys unconventional journey to motherhood in a new book, Bringing in Finn: An Extraordinary Surrogacy Story.
