I became a mom at 42 and thought that was challenging. But, I know of woman who at age 56 now has three year old twins and feels blessed. So, for some, it’s never too late, and parenthood is all the sweeter. The key is take good care of yourself, so you have the energy to keep up. Fortunately, for Kelly’s sake, she also has the money to hire good help, which doesn’t hurt.

Congrats to her! Babies are a blessing whenever and however they arrive. I wouldn’t necessarily wait that long but more power to her. I’m glad she’s getting the baby she’s been longing for.

Good for her, though I don’t envy her starting her family at age 50.

CA has very friendly laws regarding surrogacy so no surprise there.

Ok, I’m confused…

She is using a surrogate to carry the child, but who is the father? Is it Calvin?

Sarah’s note: I think it says in the post that it’s not a relative or family member.

Congrats at 50 she deserves it. I personally thought the whole surrogate mother thing was a bit weird, but if someone else is blessed to have that baby for you, than more power to em’. I’m pregnant now with my first child at 24 so 50 seems a long time to wait. But, whenever it happens it is always a blessing!

Well, congratulations to her. I wouldn’t want to be as old as her starting out, but to each her own. I wouldn’t want to be 68 when my kid graduates from high school and probably not see my own grandkids, but that’s up to her. And 58 playing in the yard with a 7 or 8 year old is going to be very hard for her. I wonder if she truly thought this out for the long term good of the child, not just the immediate gratification of her having a baby. But congratulations to her anyway.

50 years and expecting a child? according to me that’s a little bit too old
just think of the fact when her kid will become 20
how old will she be? 70, 71???
poor kid
be a little bit realistic!
