A couple with a 37 year age gap say they are expecting their first baby together - via surrogate.

Gran-of-18 Cheryl, 63, and her husband, Quran Mccain, 26, met when he was 15 but insist there were no romantic feelings.

But in November 2020, Cheryl and Quran met again at a gas station whilst he was 23 - and hit it off.

Now they say they are expecting their first baby together via surrogate and say they couldn't be happier.

00:00We're here picking up our surrogate.
00:02Um, today's going to be a great day.
00:05This is our first doctor's appointment,
00:07and I'm kind of nervous.
00:09How are you feeling, baby?
00:11Eh, I'm kind of nervous.
00:13We're going to see if she's pregnant,
00:18which we already have a pregnancy test that's positive,
00:22so we're just verifying it.
00:25We'll make sure.
00:27This journey has been so long,
00:29so, you know, this is part of it.
00:31We'll get back with you when we're at the hospital.
00:34After that, we'll have the state's officer as well.
00:37So, we won't place the referral to the high-risk doctors,
00:40we're going to get the next ultrasound.
00:42Yeah, I was going to ask about that.
00:44We're going to get that next ultrasound,
00:45and then place a referral.
00:46They usually, a lot of the stipulations,
00:48will come closer to six weeks.
00:50So, by the time you come to the next ultrasound,
00:52as long as we're getting booking in,
00:53then we'll make a referral to your shamanic doctor.
00:55But you'll still see us like you normally would
00:57when you're at the pregnancy office.
01:08Yes, we are having a baby.
01:10But, Cheryl is not pregnant.
01:13That's a lot of things that y'all don't understand.
01:16We have a surrogate.
01:17A surrogate is someone who carries the baby
01:19for someone who's incapable of having children.
01:22So, I have no eggs.
01:25So, his sperm and a surrogate's eggs
01:29is how we're getting our baby.
01:31It's a traditional pregnancy.
01:33So, we're not using Cheryl's eggs at all.
01:35Noah will not have her DNA,
01:37but the baby will call her mother.
01:39I will be the father.
01:40And I will be adopting the child when she has it.
01:44So, that's basically the touch-around
01:47with the surrogacy.
01:48Cheryl is not pregnant.
01:49My eggs are dry.
01:50I don't have any more.
01:52So, this is the only way we're going to have a baby.
01:55And eggs, why not?
01:57I'm just excited.
01:58I'm telling you, I'm excited to be a dad.
01:59Like, you just don't know.
02:00It's awesome.
02:01I'm excited, too.
02:02Very excited.
