BISMARK, N.D. — After North Dakota couple Mandy and Jamie Stephens endured the loss of an infant son, they considered turning to a surrogate for help.

It turned out that Mandy’s mother was the best candidate.

“You know, pregnancy was so easy. I like being pregnant,” Sherri Dickson said. “I don’t mind being pregnant. If It was something I could do for her, why not.”

Carrying Baby Myla had another benefit for Sherri, who has multiple sclerosis.

“I didn’t be a surrogate to put my MS into remission,” she said. “I, actually, that was an afterthought that it did that.”

Baby Myla was born July 31.
