Three woman have plead guilty to paying women to travel overseas to be implanted with embryos created from the sperm and egg of donors. Once a woman reaches the second trimester of pregnancy, prosecutors claim the defendants would "shop" the babies by falsely telling couples that the original intended parents in this surrogacy arrangement had backed out and new parents were needed. The new couple would then be charged between $100,000 to $150,000 to adopt the baby. More info can be found in these articles from Huffington Post and The San Diego News. The FBI warns those seeking surrogacy to research the cost of surrogacy service, to make sure that there is a signed agreement in place before any medical tests or procedures, to be wary of last-minute surrogacy arrangements, and, if possible, to work with a local attorney or agency that you feel comfortable with and can meet with in person.
