[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, the woman who gave birth to this baby did NOT agree to have her body used as a surrogate. If the law favors the birth mother, I think that's fair.

Both couples should sue the hell out of the fertility clinic.[/quote]

+1, however, there was a precedent where this happened and the woman was forced to give up the baby.  [/quote]

I think you may be referring to the Baby M case that took place in the eighties.

Where a woman named MaryBeth entered into a surrogate agreement w/another couple to carry their baby.
(In that case, I am almost positive that the baby was from her fertilized egg ➕ the other couple’s husband’s sperm.)

After birth - - the birth Mother changed her mind & wanted to keep the baby.
She even went so far as to actually kidnap the child and it was all an ugly, public mess.

In the end, the natural Mother had to surrender custody to the couple.

And now that the child is an adult &gt;&gt; the child doesn’t want anything at all to do with her biological Mother. :([/quote]
I remember that case.
The Stern family hired people to kidnap the baby. Mary Beth was given visitation.
This eventually ended when the kid asked to divorce her mother.
It was a messed up case. Marybeth had thought she was helping a couple, but the man’s wife just chose to not have a baby herself.
They had the baby for a few days, but were tired of looking after new born. So when Marybeth arrived at their door asking for the baby they gave it to her

Baby M’s adoptive mother had MS and IVF was very new at the time, which is why they opted to go this route. [/quote]

There was no IVF it was an IUI with Mary Beth’s own egg. Not many similarities to the baby in the OP.[/quote]
