Took me a while to wrap this round my head. Use the image below to understand it better.

[b]One woman — Ellen Bown — gave birth to all three of the children in the picture. But only Maddy is her ‘official’ daughter.
When it comes to Alex and Ruth, Ellen acted as a surrogate for her own mother, Jenny. Ellen used her own eggs, fertilised with her stepfather Tony’s sperm. So, biologically, twins Alex and Ruth are teenager Maddy’s half-brother and half-sister. But legally — having been adopted by Ellen’s mother Jenny and stepfather Tony a week after their birth — they are now her aunt and uncle.
Which brings with it another mind-boggling twist. To the twins, Ellen Bown is both their biological mother and their legal half-sister. Meanwhile, Jenny and Tony are their biological grandparents but legal parents. To say it’s an unconventional and complicated set-up would be an understatement — but it certainly isn’t unique.

...Such stories have — understandably — sparked debate. Some have labelled these very modern interpretations of the family unethical, and have questioned the robustness of our surrogacy and fertility laws. But Ellen Bown and her mother Jenny Dias insist there is nothing perturbing about their situation . . . well, apart from the perplexing issue of what on earth they all call each other.

We have always tried to stick to the adoptive relationships,’ says Jenny, 65, a retired saleswoman and receptionist. ‘So the twins call me and Tony “Mummy” and “Daddy”, as you’d expect. It’s only different with Ellen.
‘We got around that by them calling her “Tummy Mummy”. So I’m Mummy, she’s Tummy Mummy. That worked while the twins were little — now they just call her “Ellen”. She is a second mum to them.’
Ellen, 46, a trainee midwife, nods. ‘We have been open with all of them from the beginning about where they came from. Maddy was five when the twins were born. She knew that I was growing something in my tummy for Granny and Grandad and that, when they were born, they were going to live with them.’
Alex — bubbly, polite and dressed in a smart blue suit and school shoes — chimes in, unprompted: ‘People ask me all the time at school, but it’s just labels. We’re a normal family.’
‘Normal’ may well be a stretch for some people, but it’s clear from a few minutes in the extended family’s company that they are a closely knit, happy unit.[/b]

The most popular is when an incesst occurs between father and daughter, and the daughter conceives. See the child is a brother to his own mother. The girls mother becomes a grandmother and a stepmother to the child.
Ouch! *it's too early to start disturbing my brain*
Anyways, it's a real disaster when such thing happens
