When Katey had her pregnancy written into the show that pregnancy did not end in miscarriage. A Pregnancy loss after the 20th week is considered a stillbirth. She held her daughter and spoke of her in interviews they named her Ruby Alexandra. She was born asleep on October 14, 1991, and was due to be born sometime in December.

Congratulations to them! At what age you have children is a topic it seems all people will debate all of the time. Someone will always feel that another is too old or too young to be a mother. You can't win either way, so you might as well just live your life! Hey, Anthony Quinn was 81 when he youngest child was born...

People magazine says Katey is 52, but according to Earthlink Entertainment News, she is 49. Who's right?

Hi, I ususlly don't post any comments but I wanted to respond to the questions about surrogacy. I have 2 children that were carried by a surrogate. After the birth of my first daughter (I carried her) I suffered from post-partum hemorrhage and needed a hysterectomy. I still had my ovaries so they were able to retrieve my eggs and use my husbands sperm. There are many different ways you can do it though. You can use a Gestation surrogate (she has no biological ties to the baby) or use can use a traditional surrogate (where she uses her egg and your husbands sperm) and you can always use a donor egg also. It may seem like something that is very rare and strange but it has made my dreams of having a large family come true. It was a wonderful experience. I am not comfortable posting my e-mail address but if anyone would like to chat about it, please post yours. Thanks!

I didn't even know they were expecting. Michael J. Fox has a daughter named Esme, too.

I have mixed feelings about people becoming parents in their 50's & 60's. I'm sure they can do an excellent jobs taking care of a baby but what happens 10 or 15 years down the line?
My mother is now 65 & an excellent grandmother to my 3 children, ages 13, 12, & 11. However, She does not have the stamina to be their mother.

My husband and I had a baby through surrogacy. We used her egg and my husband's sperm. We did a pre-birth order where she relinquished her rights before he was born (she had 48 hours after birth to change her mind, if that happened we would sue for custody.) Surrogacy has a very high success rate and can be a wonderful experience. Very rarely does a surrogate "change her mind" It's different from adoption...

Stephany, she wasn’t pregnant.
