Illegal Surrogacy Operation the "Tip of the Iceberg"
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The elaborate scam was unraveled in August. Erickson, formerly a prominent and highly regarded surrogacy lawyer, and accomplices Hilary Neiman and Carla Chambers were sending women to the Ukraine to receive embryo transfer. Then, when the surrogates reached their second trimester, they tracked down potential parents, selling the babies for $150,000, much higher than parents usually pay for legal surrogacy. Current law requires a surrogacy contract before impregnation. Erickson, Neiman, and Chambers took advantage of California's surrogacy-friendly laws, exploited their prestige as high-profile surrogacy lawyers, and even falsified documents.
