From a book I'm reading:
"She had even born her lover twins."
"To bear" is a weird verb (I mean, irregular). Here are the tenses/forms:
I/you/they/we bear children.
He/she/it bears children.
I bore two children.
I have borne several children.

"She had borne" or "She bore" is correct. "Borne" is the past participle and goes with an auxiliary verb such as "had."
