Dedicated mum-of-eight gives birth to her own grandchild as daughter can't have children

A mum-of-eight has given birth to her granddaughter as a surrogate after her daughter struggled with infertility issues.

Chalise Smith, 50, gave birth to her granddaughter on May 17 after her daughter's battle with endometriosis and Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune condition that sees the immune system attacking healthy parts of the body, meant she couldn't have another baby.

Chalise previously said that she made the “emotional decision” to become a surrogate after daughter Kaitlyn Munoz, 25, was told she shouldn't attempt another pregnancy due to her health conditions.
