 Grandma gives birth to daughter’s baby - Women's Health - MSNBC.com
Netsu said the baby — whose gender has not been revealed — was first registered as a child of the surrogate mother and later adopted by the daughter and her husband.
The Japanese Justice Ministry takes a position that the woman who gives birth, not the biological mother, is the mother of the child, which critics say is a stance that ignores the interest of the child.
There have been cases of women acting as surrogate mothers and giving birth to their grandchildren, in both the United States and Britain, the Yomiuri Shimbun daily said.

 Jorge Hankamer WebFest
Also, it appears to be an anomalous intransitive use of give, which otherwise is generally ditransitive, so that the quasi-existential meaning and the valence of the expression is unexpected from the standpoint of the usual semantics of exchange and transaction found with give.
This possibility is enhanced further by the fact that a cognate to the Germanic *geb- 'give' root is found in Latin habeo: 'have', which itself figures in an (admittedly late) existential construction with an impersonal form of the verb (3SG habet).
Thus it may well be that despite the late attestation of what gives in American English, it does form a valid basis for a comparison with the German es gibt construction, and thus allows for a reconstruction of a Proto-West-Germanic existential use of 'give', which survives marginally into present usage.
