The 30 reward of thousands of dollars prompted California resident Jessica Allen, who already had two children of her own, to become a surrogate mother for a married couple from China. This is a common practice, but in this case, everything went wrong, writes People.
The fact is that Allen was the victim of a scientific phenomenon called superfetation. What does it mean? When a woman was already pregnant as a result of artificial insemination and was carrying another child, she was able to get pregnant from her husband too. While the pregnancy was proceeding normally, everyone, including the Allen family, doctors and customers, was sure that Jessica was carrying biological twins to Chinese parents.
But when the child was born, it became clear that he was not at all like a Chinese, on the contrary, the child looked very much like Jessica and her husband. The shocked surrogate mother decided to do a DNA test, which showed that Allens are the parents of the second baby. The first really was the biological son of a Chinese couple. Doctors say that such cases in the entire history of medicine can be counted on the fingers, but the fact remains.
The problem was that legally, under the contract, the second child also belonged to the ordering parents. According to Jessica, the Chinese couple was going to give him up for adoption, and also demanded 22 to return thousands of dollars from 30 for an error. After three hardest months of trials, the mother and father were able to bring their baby back to the family. Jessica says that she will never provide surrogacy services again.
