Doing a pregnancy test is always a scary moment, but this moment for Kristi Schmidt was going to change his life. At the age of 52, she was going to know if she is pregnant – and she too with her son -in -law’s child! This is the story of a mother’s immense love and sacrifice for her daughter, who made a unique decision to fulfill her daughter’s dream. Christie and her daughter Heidi have always been very close. Heidi used to dream of becoming a mother since childhood, but when she married her husband John in 2015 and started trying to increase family, things were not easy. Even after trying for years, Heidi could not become pregnant.

In 2020, Heidi, who hails from California, USA, finally became pregnant, but Khushi was not long. The doctor said that the heidi had a problem with Uterine Didelphis (two uterus) and was pregnant with twins. Unfortunately in 10 weeks, the heartbeat of a child stopped and in 24 weeks he had to lose his son Malakai. Heidi was broken. The doctor warned them that she could be pregnant again, but it would be very dangerous. Christie was feeling helpless after seeing her daughter’s discomfort. Then Heidi told her that she is thinking about IVF (in vitro fertilization) and surrogacy. Hearing this, Christie immediately decided that she would become the surrogate of the Heidi. That is, Christie will become the mother of her son -in -law’s child and will give birth to her with surrogacy. In this way, she will become mother and grandmother together.

Christie told Heidi, “I will raise your and John’s baby in my womb.” Heidi was surprised, but Christie assured her that she is completely fit and healthy. Christie’s husband Ray also supported the scheme. Christie passed all medical tests and got permission to conceive. Christie was given hormone injections and her body was designed for pregnancy. When the embroidery was transferred, Christy promised the Heidi that she would give her child in her lap after nine months. Nine days later pregnancy test positive came. Christie said, “I am becoming the mother of a child at the age of 52!”

Christie’s pregnancy was absolutely normal. However, some people accused her that she was snatching the experience of Heidi, but Christie ignored these things. Her husband Ray used to say, “This is not my child, this is our son -in -law’s child and my grandson!” In March 2022, Acco Joy was born during a planned C-section. Heidi says, “When I took Acco in the lap, I felt as if I had risen. She was finally here and all this was possible because of the mother. ” Today Eco is a happy and playful 3 -year -old girl and she has a deep bond with Christie. Christie says, “I don’t need any thanks. It was an honor for me to do all this for the happiness of Heidi. “
