Surrogate mom gives birth to grandson

MADAWASKA — A 49-year-old Maine woman kept her word to act as a surrogate mother, and has given birth to her grandson. The Portland Press Herald reported Linda Sirois of Madawaska carried and delivered the baby because her 25-year-old daughter, Angel Hebert, has a heart condition that made pregnancy unsafe. The 7 pound, 14 ounce Madden Hebert was born Aug. 13. (AP)
