'I'm in love with my grandson and we're having a baby' - New Idea Magazine - Yahoo!Xtra Lifestyle

granny_29apr1-15thc4t.jpg


Pearl Carter is positively glowing with joy. She has a handsome new boyfriend, is enjoying an active sex life after many years of celibacy and, amazingly, is preparing to become a mother again.

But the retired grandmother isn't carrying the baby herself. She and her young lover have spent a staggering $54,000 hiring a surrogate to help them with their dreams of having a child.

What makes Pearl's decision to become a mum again even more shocking is that her new boyfriend is her biological grandson, 26-year-old Phil Bailey.

Phil is the son of Pearl's daughter Lynette Bailey, and the pair is braving public horror and even prison by breaking one of the last taboos – incest.

However, the pair makes no apologies for their controversial plan to start their own family.

'I'm not interested in anyone else's opinion,' Pearl says. 'I am in love with Phil and he's in love with me. Soon I'll be holding my son or daughter in my arms and Phil will be the proud dad'.

Phil adds, 'I love Pearl with all my heart. I've always been attracted to older women and I think Pearl is gorgeous. Now I'm going to be a dad and I can't wait.

'Yes, we get laughed at and bullied when we go out and kiss in public but we don't care. You can't help who you fall for.'

Pearl was 18 when she fell pregnant with daughter Lynette. She was living with her Catholic parents in Indiana and they insisted she give the baby away, so as not to bring the family into disrepute.
They organised a private adoption and Pearl never again saw her baby girl.

Pearl went on to marry, but she never had any more children. Instead she searched for her lost daughter until finally giving up hope 15 years ago.

Finding each other

In 1983, Pearl's daughter Lynette had a baby of her own, who she named Phil. She raised him as a single mother.

'My mother told me she was adopted when I was 18, and at the same time she told me she'd been diagnosed with brain cancer,' Phil says. 'I was devastated.'

Phil nursed his mum for six months before she died. It was then he decided to track down his grandmother. It took three years before he found an address for Pearl and wrote to her.

'I was stunned to get his letter,' says Pearl, who was now single. 'My heart jumped that I'd be re-united with a grandson. I wrote back immediately and included my phone number.'

When Phil phoned Pearl, the pair admits they were both rather nervous. Pearl told Phil about being forced to give up Lynette for adoption, and Phil told Pearl about his mum dying of cancer.

'We both cried but kept talking for three hours,' she says. 'When he emailed me a photo, I thought what a handsome and sexy man he was before pinching myself – he was my grandson!'

Confused, Pearl talked to a friend, who told her about an article she'd read on Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA), which occurs when close relatives meet as adults and are attracted to each other.

'I could now understand my feelings and realise they weren't wrong,' Pearl says.

In 2006, Phil met his grandmother for the first time.

'From the first moment that I saw him, I knew we would never have a grandmother-grandson relationship,' Pearl remembers happily. 'For the first time in years I felt sexually alive.'

Phil admits that he had the same feelings towards Pearl.

'I wanted to kiss her there and then,' he says. 'My feelings were overwhelming.'

The pair spent the first week shopping, bowling and eating out. During the second week, giggly on wine after a night out, Pearl decided she wasn't going to deny her feelings anymore.

Unexpected feelings

'I called Phil into my bedroom, sat him on the bed, and then I leant over and kissed him,' Pearl says.

'I expected rejection but instead he kissed me back.'

Pearl then explained to Phil what she'd discovered about GSA.

'I was thrilled and excited,' Phil says. 'I could be with Pearl and it was OK because she'd never raised me or been in my life.'

That night, grandmother and grandson became lovers.

'Making love to Pearl was a real eye-opener. It was love combined with all this sexual tension that had been building up,' Phil openly explains.

Phil, a carpenter, agreed to live with Pearl and get a job with a local building firm.

'Living with Phil as my life partner has been amazing. He cooks and cleans and we make love three times a week. We can't keep our hands off each other.'

Twelve months ago, Phil made the shocking admission that he wanted a child. Pearl told him she was desperate for a baby as well, but it was one wish that she couldn't fulfil as she'd already gone through menopause.

The determined pair then decided to use Pearl's retirement money to find a surrogate mother and buy a donor egg to inseminate with Phil's sperm. They placed an ad asking for an open-minded surrogate, and Roxanne Campbell applied. The three met up a few times and hit it off.

'Initially I was shocked,' says Roxanne on learning the couple were related. 'But they're a brilliant pair and I saw how much they loved each other. I know the baby will be loved too.'

The couple sees 30-year-old Roxanne once a month and accompany her for scans, with Pearl playing the part of a pal or the baby's grandmother.

'I am just so happy,' Pearl says.
'I am finally going to be a mum and not forced to give up my child. Phil's going to be a great dad. I never in a million years thought at 72 I'd be "pregnant" and in love with my grandson. I make no apologies and I believe God's given me a second chance.'

There's no affinity-- his mother was raised by a different family entirely.

And since they're using a surrogate, there's no issue of tangling their bloodline.

Only issue I see is that if they're successful, she'll be in her eighties before the kid's grown and her nineties before the kid's out of college. Phil had best be prepared to do the bulk of the child rearing on his own.
 
Incest aside, it is completely irresponsible to bring a child into the world when the mother is 72.
 
I have read that this is a common phenomenon among adoptees who find their biological families.
It's called "genetic sexual attraction"; biological family members separated since birth sometimes experience a sexual attraction to one another.
Typically, though, the genetic sexual attraction is between siblings, or parents and grown children. Never heard of grandmother/grandson.

It's pretty well-documented. I forget why it happens, but there's a valid psychological reason behind it. Perhaps someone else would care to do the research, as I'm feeling lazy.
Although it's technically "incest", I don't think it's the same, when family members have never known one another.
I mean, I don't think the same dynamic is at work. I think strangers who are related recognize the genetic familial bond between them, and mistake it for sexual attraction, or experience it as sexual attraction. Something like that.

:vomit: This is disgusting and nasty! I feel sorry for the poor child that will be raised by these two sick freaks. Reading this makes me want to die a little on the inside. This is disturbing, disgusting, and tragic (for the child) all at the same time.
 
It is hard for me to get past the ewww factor because of my own revulsion at the notion. However, I can guess biologically what is occurring as far as the attraction to further guess at an explanation as to why it happens. We do need to remember that we are biological beings that evolved to perpetuate our own genes. In these odd situations, I think our biology makes errors precisely as a result of their rarity during our evolutionary development.

I agree with 1069, I don't think it truly has the same moral significance as a situation where the child grew up in contact with the rest of his biological family. I won't judge these two people, at least not too harshly.

Pedophilia is biological, too, I guess. Doesn't mean people should engage in it, though. Obviously, there is difference here, and I recognize that, but it still doesn't mean the biological factor can be used to justify this situation.

I'm afraid I must judge them very harshly, as they are deciding to bring a child into their freak-show. If they were only having sex with each other I would just be grossed out and move on with my day, but the fact that a child is going to be subjected to this utterly bizarre relationship doesn't sit well with me; it seems like child abuse to have to explain that your great grandmother is also your mother, and that your dad is kind of your grandpa, too, or something...

I kind of figured this part out...

His great grandmother is also his mother.

He is also his grandmother's brother.

and finally...

He is also his father's uncle, son AND grandson.

In other words.... I have A LOT of time on my hands AND....FML....
 
Grandmother and grandson having sex is exceptable to me if they are both consenting adults. What I do have a issue with is there decision to have a child and the repercussions it may have on the innocent offspring. They are clearly being selfish with little reguard to what there actions may cause others.

MO is they will be splitsville before the kid is 5, or Granny will be put in a nursing home.

These two obviously aren't living in the real world. They need to wake up and smell the coffee.:shock:

Huh? I know Ben liked the ladies, but I don't recall him banging his grandma.

Think less about grandmas and more about old women in general.

Nasty. If they weren't having a kid, I wouldn't care if they want to be weirdos. Personally I'd rather weirdos (of all types) be that way in the open so I'd know who to avoid inviting over for coffee.

I feel sorry for the kid though. He'll probably get picked on in school for it. But I guess that's the one downside of living in a free country. About a year ago a Neo-Nazi family legally named their kid Adolf Hitler and had that name put on a birthday cake. I though that was abusive, but I'm undecided over whether crazy people like this should legally lose their kids. Opinions?
