I know an MFF triad that accomplished something similar. They wanted a baby. One of the wives was menopausal, and the other, much younger wife had no viable eggs for reasons unrelated to age. The grown daughter from an earlier marriage of the older wife donated eggs which were inseminated with the husband's sperm in vitro. Then the fertilized eggs (as it turned out) were implanted in the uterus of the younger wife, who carried them to term. Today their twins are about five years old.
I'm not a DNA expert, but I'd think that the DNA of the husband, the younger wife, and the older wife's daughter would be present in the child, assuming that the surrogate mother's blood running through the veins of the children includes her DNA. Regardless, the twins are the grandchildren of the older wife and therefore her blood relatives as well.
