Despite their 37-year age gap, a 61-year-old grandma and her new husband, 24, have revealed that they hope to conceive their first child together through surrogacy.
Quran McCain and his wife, Cheryl McGregor, a mother of seven from Rome, Georgia, met in 2012 while working at the fast-food restaurant Dairy Queen when he was only 15 years old.
But it wasn’t until later that love feelings began to bloom. When caretaker Quran found Cheryl working as a cashier at a convenience store in 2020, they reconnected.
They started dating right away after sparks sparked between them. They were married last year and are now eager to start a family.
Cheryl already has seven children and seventeen grandchildren, but the couple believes they ‘deserve children of their own.’
We got married in September 2021, and it’s been a few months since we are ready to start a family,’ said Quran.
‘Cheryl is 61 and has seven children and 17 grandchildren already but we feel we deserve children of our own.’
The pair tried to get pregnant on their own but due to Cheryl’s age, they decided to turn to surrogacy or adoption.
‘We prefer surrogacy, however, we have seen a lot of people embroiled in legal complications far after the child is born,’ Quran continued.
‘We are looking for a nice surrogate who is willing to sign a contract to have nothing to do with the child after it’s born.
‘We don’t want people trying to have a baby for us for financial gain, we are not that financially inclined ourselves.
‘With adoption, we are looking for a biracial baby so the baby would know, “I have half black and half white parents,” so he [or she] would feel that we are his true parents.
‘Both of Cheryl’s daughters had hysterectomies in the last few years otherwise they would have been the best option for being as close to a biological child as possible.’
