Blog 6: Surrogate Offered $10,000 to Abort Baby
This article is about a controversial surrogacy case. Chrystal Kelley met a couple through a surrogacy agency who already had three kids and were excited for a fourth, yet the mother could not have anymore children. Kelley was at first excited to be able to give this couple a new baby. The first five months went smoothly with the family supporting her at doctor's visits and doing anything they could to make Kelley more comfortable. Then, during the five month ultrasound, doctors noticed abnormalities with the baby and that her heart was unusually small. After being referred to specialists, it was determined that the baby had a cleft lip and palate, a cyst in her brain, and serious heart defects. The parents did not want to bring a child into the world to suffer and they wanted Kelley to have an abortion. Kelley refused, and this was the start of a complicated custody battle up until the time the baby was born. In the end, Kelley, after moving to a state with surrogacy laws in her favor, was awarded custody of the baby which she gave up for adoption to a couple who specialized in taking care of children with special needs. The baby has a long road ahead of her, but she has a good support system and parents who will take care of her.
This article is important because it proves the many controversies we have over abortion. Laws are different in each state for abortion, custody, and surrogacy. The lack of consistency causes even more problems in situations like this one. A lot of people, especially other surrogates, have attacked Kelley on social networks saying that she was not the child's mother and it was not her decision. Kelley feels confident she made the right decision and replies to them by saying that it was her body and technically her decision and right. Lawyers jumped to support Kelley in her fight for her rights. Abortion and custody rights are still controversial worldwide and more laws are changing as time goes on. This is just one of the many situations that doesn't always consider the health of the mother or baby.
