The most disappointing news for any couple is to hear from their doctor that they cannot conceive a child. It can be traumatic for many and even cause depression in women. Fortunately for Kayla Jones 29 from Arkansas, she didn’t have to suffer the fate of being a childless mother because a guardian angel came to her rescue. Her Mother in law, Patti. The woman gave birth to her son’s baby.
Patty Resecker, Kayla’s mother in law didn’t give it a second thought when offering to be the surrogate mother for her son’s baby. That was one of the most beautiful and selfless things to do.

Kayla and Cody Jones married in 2012. But, they are yet to conceive a child as doctors told Kayla she couldn’t due to a tumor in a uterus that she suffered from when she was 17 and which was subsequently removed by a partial hysterectomy. That ended her dream to be a mother.
Said Kayla, “My ovaries did not have to be removed so I am still able to have a child biologically mine, but I am unable to carry the child myself. “That’s why my husband and I had to use a surrogate.”

Kayla and Cody had been married 5 years and discovered they wouldn’t be able to conceive. Her mother in law would often joke about becoming a surrogate. That joke turned out serious since the couple explored several surrogate options that didn’t work out. “After a couple of our surrogate options did not work out, we started to take my mother-in-law more seriously.”

They finally decided to take her offer and Patti was then made to go for various tests which she cleared successfully. Unfortunately, the first time the couple tried for a baby, they were unsuccessful. “We were devastated,” said Kayla “but decided to give it one more try.” In May 2017, much to the joy of the family, they were told that they were pregnant. Kayla was going to finally get her baby.

Patty 49 had her last pregnancy 20 years ago but Kayla and Cody had waited a long time for a suitable candidate. This was the best thing that could have happened to them. Kayla felt glad that her mom in law was her surrogate because she felt relieved it was someone whom she could trust. Cody felt it was really special that she will be carrying her grand-baby.

The procedure of transferring the fertilized egg into Patti’s womb will took place at a Dallas clinic and it took at least 10 days to know if the process was a success. The couple was excited and waited patiently in hopes for the good news. For Kayla, her primary focus was Patti’s health. She said at the time “My biggest concern is to make sure not only is the baby healthy, but my mother-in-law stays healthy, too.”

Kayla feels she really has a good mother in law “Most people don’t like their mother-in-law, but I’ve got a good one,” Resecker felt she was blessed beyond what she could conceive of being given this opportunity to carry her grandchild.

As of now, the family is ecstatic especially since Kayla has also had great reactions to her story. Although some may find it weird, it could be because they haven’t really understood the magnitude of the gesture on the part of Patti.
