Surrogacy in This Decade

 

2001: Oldest Surrogate Mother In 2001, a grandmother, Viv, became the world's oldest surrogate mother, giving birth to her own grandchild. That record has since been broken.

2005: Surrogate Mom Gives Birth to Quintuplets  On April 26, 2005, 54 year old Teresa Anderson delivered five boys as a gestational surrogate mother to a couple she met online. The intended mother, Luisa Gonzalez, and her husband had battled infertility for over 10 years.

When she found out she was carrying quintuplets, Teresa waived her $15,000 compensation, feeling that the intended parents would need it more than she to raise their boys.

2007: Oldest Surrogate Mother to Twins In August 2007, 58 year old Ann Stopler gave birth to her twin granddaughters. Her daughter, Caryn Chomsky, was unable to conceive due to cervical cancer.

2008: Oldest Surrogate Mother to Triplets In 2008, 56 year old Jaci Dalenberg became the oldest woman ever to give birth to triplets. She acted as a gestational surrogate mother for her daughter Kim, and delivered her own grandchildren.

2008: Oldest Surrogate Mother in Japan The oldest surrogate mother in Japan gave birth to her own grandchild in 2008 at 61 years old. Her daughter had no uterus, but doctors were still able to use her eggs. Surrogacy is generally frowned upon in Japan, but this unusual case made headlines.
