Recently, a couple in the United States, who have an age difference of 37 years, announced a shocking piece of news:
The 63-year-old grandma and the 26-year-old husband are going to have a baby!
They sweetly showed the child's B-ultrasound image, which surprised many people......
The heroes and heroines of the story are Quran McCain, 26, and Cheryl McGregor, 63.
The two first met in 2012, when Kuran was only 15 years old......
At the time, he was working at an ice cream parlor, and Sherill, the owner's mother, often visited the restaurant or had a meal together.
At that time, Kuran said, they didn't have any special affection for each other.
"She drives a light blue car, that's the only reason I noticed her!"
After his resignation, the two lost contact.
Until 2020, Kuran, who was not yet 23 years old, met Sheryl, who was working as a cashier, again at a convenience store.
He recognized the familiar aunt at once.
"I used to see her every day and she was always so happy, but that day she was very sad and as soon as I asked her what was wrong, she cried."
Sheryl was frustrated at the time because she posted a video of herself dancing on TikTok and the comments were unfriendly.
At this point, Kuran not only comforted him, but also filmed dancing videos with her — videos that went viral and garnered 1.3 million likes.
In the process of cooperating in the short video, the two people who can be said to be "grandchildren" with an age difference sparked a spark of love.
"We connected on a spiritual level," Curran said. No matter what the situation may be, as long as we are together, we will have a special feeling. ”
So, he boldly asked Sheryl for a date, telling her that he had a special feeling for her.
Although Sherrill feels the same way about him, the age gap between the two is too great......
Sheryl's youngest daughters are all three years older than Cherland, and Courland's grandmother is only six years older than Sheryl.
At first, Sherrill disagreed, fearing that once she crossed the line, the two would not even be able to become friends.
But at Curran's insistence, she decided to spend some time together as a Platonic couple first.
This kind of relationship is even more wonderful than imagined......
"There's a special feeling between me and him, I never thought we'd be together like this, he's an amazing guy," Sherrill said. ”
Slowly, she finds herself unable to deny the relationship between the two......
So, the two began to experiment with intimacy and found it to be very harmonious......
"Even though he's young, there's a different chemistry between us...... The things we've been through have made our relationship more intimate. ”
They claim that the intimacy is amazing and better each time.
Sherill said that this may seem strange to others, but for her, it is amazing......
It's just that such a mother-grandson relationship is still a little too advanced......
Both Sheryl's family and Cullan's family were difficult to accept at first.
"Nobody accepted it, everyone thought we were joking, or thought it was just a game."
Several of Sherrel's seven children even threatened to disown her.
And on social media, there are also a lot of bad comments, even saying that Kuran is dating his grandmother.
However, Curlan insisted:
"We are no different from other couples, love is love."
"She made me more complete."
He said that Sherrill had a very young spirit, soul and heart, and that he really loved her, and that he did not want to fight for thirty years less, as others think, or wait for her to be written into his will.
"Our spirits are connected to each other, and no matter what the situation is, as long as we're together, there's a wonderful vibe."
And Sherrill also thinks that this kind of love is something she has never felt......
"Don't look for love, because it will find you, because I'm not looking for love, and it finds me, and that's amazing."
"It's different, it's amazing, he has a lot of feelings for me...... It may be because he's young, but I've never had anything like this happen to anyone else. ”
"He was very emotional, but not angry, but an emotional one that was expressed in a very good way and showed me that he really cared about me."
"It's something I've never encountered before."
So, the couple persevered all the way......
"We get a lot of hate, but no matter what they say or do, it can't hurt us – we know what they're saying isn't true."
They believe that, and we feel sorry for them.
"But at the end of the day, we still have each other, and that's all that matters."
"We're happy that no matter what they say, we're not going to change that."
In July 2021, McCain proposed with a $3,000 engagement ring at the Olive Garden restaurant.
Two months later, they eloped to Tennessee for their wedding, with only 2 friends in attendance, but thousands of people watched the wedding online......
And this mother-grandson couple became husband and wife in this way......
As mentioned earlier, although there is a large age gap between the two, free love is not someone else's business. But what happened next once again made them even more controversial: after marriage, they began to plan to have a child......
Although Sheriel already has seven children and 17 grandchildren, they believe that a family is incomplete without children......
Because Sherill's age is obviously too old to conceive herself, they plan to go for surrogacy or adopt one.
"Sheriel's two daughters have undergone hysterectomy in the past few years, otherwise they might have been the best option for us to find a surrogate mother," Curran said. ”
Eventually, they successfully conceived a child using Kuran's sperm and surrogate mother's eggs. And Sheryl will become the mother of the child through the legal means of adoption. They said that they had gone to the doctor with the surrogate mother for a prenatal check-up and had heard the baby's heartbeat.
When the good news was announced, the couple were smiling and showed off their pregnancy tests and ultrasound photos. Curran Says:
"I can't wait, we're finally starting our little family. I am happy. I'm going to be a father. We finally have a family. ”
(This way of sharing even made many uninformed people think that Sheriel was pregnant again...... ）
Although some people blessed these two people, there were still many people who couldn't accept it.
Some people think that if they want a baby in this way, then the child has nothing to do with Sherill.
"So, what does this baby have to do with that old white woman?"
Others believe that it is very worrying that Sherrill has begun to raise children at an age of sixtieth. By the time this child reached adulthood, TA's mother was even over 80 years old!
"I feel sorry for this child, I don't know how old Sherill is, but this child will probably lose his mother before he is 10 years old."
Sheryl, however, insists that this is not a problem at all......
"We know I probably won't live as long as Curran, but I have faith in him."
"Even when I'm gone, he can do a great job and be a great father, a responsible adult. I have complete confidence that he will be able to raise our children and do a great job. ”
Although the relationship between the two is their own business, bringing the child into the world through surrogacy does make people worry about whether they can be responsible to the end.
After all, children need not only material care, but also emotional support and companionship from their parents.
Sheryl's age means that she will not be able to spend long with her children, and it is also a huge question mark whether Kuran, despite her youth, has the maturity and sense of responsibility to take on the responsibility of raising children on her own.
Discussions of love aside, such a decision would undoubtedly bring great uncertainty into the future......
Being a parent is not only about satisfying your emotional needs and fulfilling your desires, but also about a well-thought-out responsibility and commitment.
And this child was really born in hard mode......
