A woman has given birth to her own grandchild after she acted as a surrogate for her daughter.

Tracey Thompson, 54, offered to carry 28-year-old Kelley McKissack’s baby after she had three miscarriages and years of infertility.

On Wednesday at The Medical Center of Plato in Texas, Ms Thompson gave birth to a healthy baby girl weighing 6lbs and 11oz. Mrs McKissack named her Kelcey.

‘My lovely mum gave me the best gift I could ever have in my life,’ Ms McKissack said.

‘You have friends, and there are many women who are willing to do it.

‘I just want people to know, you can have your biological child still.’

Though Ms Thompson was seven years past menopause, doctors were able to implant an embryo into her womb using state-of-the-art reproductive technology.

Dr Joseph Leveno, who carried out the procedure, called it a ‘miracle’.
