By Kevin Donald A family has been torn apart after a woman agreed to have a baby for her own mother and then backed out of the surrogacy arrangement while pregnant. Leanne Stanford originally made the extraordinary offer after her mother Judith Roberts miscarried the IVF baby she was expecting with her new husband at 21 weeks. It was while leaving hospital that Miss Stanford told her mother: ‘If you want to try again I’ll help you. I’ll be a surrogate for you if you want me to.’ Leanne Stanford, with baby Mollie, who is 18 months. Ms Stanford gave birth Mollie after carrying the baby as a surrogate for her mother Judith Roberts
