Grandmother, 50, gives birth to grandchild after acting as daughter-in-law's surrogate for the SECOND time

Sandy Lawrence gave birth to Jarrett Jacob on Wednesday. It was the second time the 50-year-old has acted as a surrogate for the family, after carrying their first child in 2012.

Her daughter-in-law, Mindy, was unable to carry her own children after having a hysterectomy when she was a teenager.

The 25-year-old, and her husband, Jake, had considered adopting when they first married but then his mother offered to carry the baby for them.

 'What mother would not do this for their child,' Mrs Lawrence said, adding she agreed to do it 'so they can have a child of their own'.

Mindy had been plagued with health problems from the age of 10, which resulted in her having a hysterectomy to end the pain she had been in. 'I knew when we got married that I could not have kids,' Mindy

The couple didn't have the $30,000 needed to use a surrogate, but had started to discuss adopting when Mrs  Lawrence offered to help. 

 The first time she acted as the surrogate, Mrs Lawrence was 48, and the family were concerned her age would cause health problems.
