A grieving
mum who agreed to be artificially inseminated with her dead son’s sperm now has
twins after being told by doctors she needed a surrogate to complete her dream
of ‘reincarnating’ her child.
Rajashree
Patil, 49, was informed by doctors that she was unfit for IVF treatment using a
sample taken from her son Prathamesh, who died of a deadly tumour.
She had
wanted to conceive the children herself by being the surrogate mother, but
doctors said she was medically unfit as she had already begun her menopause.
Instead,
Prathamesh’s semen was used to fertilise an egg which was given by an anonymous
donor that was not related to the family, before being implanted into a close relative.
The
surrogate has now given birth to twins, and the mother is raising them as her
own in Pune, Western India.
The
surrogate, 35, has now given birth to twins and Rajashree says she will raise
the little boy and girl, who are technically her grandchildren, as though they
are her own.
She called
the boy Prathamesh, while she named the little girl after her daughter Prisha,
who will help her raise the babies in the city of Pune, Maharashtra State,
Western India.
