A 49 years old Maine woman gave birth to her grandson. According to The Portland Press Herald, Linda Sirois gave birth to Madden Hebert because her daughter, Angel Heber, had a heart condition that would make her unsafe to get pregnant.

"It was all pretty simple as far as I was concerned," said Linda Sirois. She also said that she has let her daughter know for years that she would become a surrogate mother for her if a doctor suggested that she not become pregnant.

She did and became pregnant the first time her daughter's egg, fertilized with Brian Hebert's sperm, was implanted.

Sirois, the mother of four before Madden, including twins, said the pregnancy may have been her easiest, with no morning sickness or complications.

"I didn't have any young children around -- my youngest are in college -- so that made it easier," she said.

Madden was finally delivered on Aug. 13, by C-section, weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces.

"It was awesome," said Hebert, who was in the delivery room with her mother. "It was an awesome, awesome experience."

Sirois said the rest of the family, as well as friends in Madawaska, were uniformly supportive.

"I had so many well wishes and encouragement, even strangers in the community," she said.
