Moderator: Listen to the story of "Born in America" ​​by Brother Tao. Hello, everyone. This is Brother Tao.Today I want to talk to you about the importance of surrogacy paternity testing in the United States.

I just saw a report from CNN USA today, a surrogate mother in Los Angeles, California, she was pregnant with twins, and then the child was born, only to find that one of the children belonged to her, and the other one belonged to the client. It was so bizarre. Things happened.So today I will share this story with you.This is a true story, and I know this intermediary as well as the clinic.

This surrogate mother is 31 years old. She was transplanted in April 2016. The client was a pair of Chinese guests. The embryo was transferred from a male baby. Then the pregnancy was tested and the pregnancy was confirmed. At the time of week, she went to listen to the fetal heart rate. The doctor told her that she is now two babies, not one baby. The doctor's judgment was that one embryo split into two embryos. Although this probability is very low, one in a million, However, it may be the case and it can only be explained in this way. Otherwise, it is impossible to transfer an embryo, which contains two fetal hearts. Therefore, the surrogate mother thought it was split into twins, and the client thought it was twins. The twins were pregnant. After the baby was born, the surrogate mother did not see the baby. She only saw the photo. The baby was held to the guest directly. Through the photo, she recalled seeing the two children with darker and lighter skin colors, which were not exactly the same. Obviously, she didn't say anything or think about it.This guest took the child and left. One month later, he took it back for a paternity test. Because the Chinese Embassy has to apply for a visa to return to the country, it must do a paternity test. Therefore, sometimes the Chinese Embassy’s regulations are quite strong. For all loopholes, Americans can apply for a U.S. passport without having to do a paternity test, but the Chinese embassy must do a paternity test, so we still have experience.During the paternity test, I discovered that one of the two children was not his own. When the news was passed on to the surrogate mother, the surrogate mother was also surprised. The intermediary company was stupid. The clinic had never heard of such a thing. Outrageous, one of the twins came out to belong to this guest, and the other was not to this guest. This kind of outrageous thing happened truly, and this surrogate mother couldn't understand it either.Later, what was the reason?The surrogate herself also said that she strictly enforced the doctor’s requirements and did not have sex. Their husband and wife had sex only when the doctor thought it was possible to have sex. They still used condoms. Since this happened, the expert explained, It is possible that the condom was broken during sex. If she assumes that what she said is true and uses a condom, then the condom must be broken, causing his husband’s sperm to combine with her egg. pregnant.Later, after some twists and turns, the surrogate mother took the child back. Now the child is 4 months old. The surrogate mother told reporters that this child is very smart. She has two children and two older brothers. This child is very smart. , Learning things is also fast.

I know the agency where this story happened. I know an agency in San Diego. The clinic is also a Chinese client. Actually, I have guessed which clinic it is. Although the reporter didn’t say it, I know which clinic it was. When this happened, I discovered that anything could happen.I have read news reports that when the surrogate mother was pregnant, she got pregnant after a pregnancy test. Finally, the child was born. It was not the guest’s child. The surrogate mother herself became pregnant unexpectedly. As a result, she thought she was the guest’s child but gave birth. Come out to be his own child.Therefore, there is a special provision in the surrogacy contract in the United States. I now understand why there is this provision. That is to say, surrogacy agencies, including lawyers, cannot confirm that the child born must be the client’s. There may be a transfer error during embryo transfer in the first clinic. If an embryo that is not a guest is transferred to the surrogate mother’s womb, the child born has nothing to do with the guest. There is also an accident between the surrogate mother and her husband. Pregnancy, which means that after the transplant, the surrogate mother and her husband had sex with her husband, and she was pregnant. As a result, the client mistakenly thought it was the embryo transferred by the client. Therefore, at this time, when this happens, the surrogate mother is pregnant. The mother is not responsible, and the guests continue to pay the money, and will not say that they will not pay because of this situation. In particular, there is such a clause, which is equivalent to a notification of liability risks.This means that there is another risk in the process of surrogacy. The child that may be born is not his own child. Of course, this probability is quite low. Especially if you say that the clinic has a transplant error, this probability is quite low. If this happens, basically the clinic is bankrupted by you. So in order to avoid the risk of bankruptcy and the risk of the defendant, the clinic is very cautious, and the procedures will never happen. , It will happen long ago, but it will not happen now.

The second situation is that the most likely occurrence is that the surrogate will have sex with her husband after the transplant, leading to an unintended pregnancy. This situation is true, and the probability of this situation is much higher than that of the first situation. Like this one who was pregnant with twins, it turned out that a child was not his own. The surrogate mother said that she did not have sex. I personally feel that it should be between the surrogate mother and her husband. I think it’s not telling the truth, maybe after the transplant, maybe After the pregnancy test was successful, they had sex and then became pregnant. As a result, they were twins. This probability is quite low, which is lower than the probability of winning the lottery, but it also happened.So I think this paternity test is particularly important. In the end, no matter what happens to you, I must have a paternity test, which is equivalent to confirming the blood relationship. Therefore, even if the Chinese Embassy does not require it, I will recommend that guests do it. a bit.Of course, some children have obvious characteristics when they are born. They are their own children. It doesn't matter if you don't do it. Especially when you don't know it, it's better to do a paternity test if you have doubts.

The loss of such outrageous things is minimized as much as possible. If you don’t do a paternity test, the two children will be brought back and raised. When they grow up, they have white skin and yellow skin. By then, they will be embarrassed. It’s okay. I discovered this in advance, but I discovered that this couple is also a Ma Daha. There is a difference between whites and yellows. So I don’t know why he didn’t notice the difference in the first place, and the surrogate mother looked at the photos. At that time, I found that the colors are different, and all kinds of coincidences in the middle have this kind of outrageous story.

So I will share it with you today, ok, thank you all!
