A couple with a 46-year age gap have disclosed their plans to have a baby of their own.
24-year-old Quran McCain and Cheryl McGregor, 7, got married in 2021, a few years after they first met at a fast-food restaurant in Rome, Georgia, USA.
Speaking with DailyMail, Quran said;
“We got married in September 2021, and it’s been a few months since we are ready to start a family. Cheryl is 61 and has seven children and seventeen grandchildren already but we feel we deserve children of our own.
We have tried for children but with age, we feel surrogacy or adoption would be a better option. We prefer surrogacy. However, we have seen a lot of people embroiled in legal complications far after the child is born.
We are looking for a nice surrogate who is willing to sign a contract to have nothing to do with the child after its 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 he 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.”
On her part, Cheryl said,
“We understand that I may not be there for as long as Quran is but I have faith in him. If I am not here, he can do it. He’s gonna be a great father, he’s a responsible adult”
“I had every bit of faith that he could raise our child and do it very well. Our family is also very supportive of our decision to have children, at first they were hesitant for the same reasons. However, now five of my children have come to accept the idea, and my mother-in-law and I make videos together”
