Dalenberg decided that if she could help her daughter have a baby she would do it. But at 56, Dalenberg was an unlikely person to serve as a surrogate.

(AP) -- A 56-year-old woman who gave birth to her triplet granddaughters a month ago is recovering from a Caesarean section and hopeful that one of the girls will be home from the hospital by Saturday.
