In what appears to be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-feds-investigating-alleged-china-linked-rent-a-womb-surrogacy-scandal-in-california?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=11&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Feds+Investigating+Alleged+China-Linked+%E2%80%98Rent-A-Womb%E2%80%99+Surrogacy+Scandals+In+California">a surrogacy scandal in California</a>, 21 children, who were reportedly all born by surrogate mothers, were removed from a home and placed in protective custody.
The children were discovered when authorities went to investigate the suspected child abuse of a 2-month-old infant who suffered a traumatic head injury, ABC 7 <a href="https://abc7.com/post/surrogacy-scandal-21-children-surrogate-mothers-taken-arcadia-couple-amid-investigation/17140359/">reported</a>.
&#8220;We discovered numerous children &#8212; 15 children to be specific &#8212; ranging in ages from 2 months old to 13 years old,&#8221; Arcadia police Lt. Kollin Cieadlo said. &#8220;Many of the children were birthed through surrogacy and then the male and female at the residence took legal guardianship of those kids.&#8221;
&#8220;The discipline, both verbally and physical, was severe to the point where it supported the beliefs that child abuse was occurring inside the home,&#8221; Cieadlo added.
Authorities later confirmed to the outlet that 21 children were in the home, 17 of whom are three years of age or younger, according to witnesses. All 21 children are in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services.
The children were under the legal guardianship of Guojun Xuan, 65, and Silvia Zhang, 38 &#8212; both of whom were residing at the home. The pair were initially arrested for felony child endangerment, but reportedly released from custody.
An arrest warrant has been issued for the nanny, Chunmei Li, 56. The woman was viewed on surveillance footage by authorities. Li remains at large.

The FBI confirmed this week that they are investigating the matter, but declined to comment further on the case. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-feds-investigating-alleged-china-linked-rent-a-womb-surrogacy-scandal-in-california?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=11&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Feds+Investigating+Alleged+China-Linked+‘Rent-A-Womb’+Surrogacy+Scandals+In+California">The Daily Wire&#8217;s Mary Margaret Olohan</a>, on July 3, was first to confirm that the feds were investigating allegations of the apparent China-tied, for-profit baby selling operations.
Executive director of the nonprofit Center of Bioethics and Culture, Kallie Fell, said the scandal appears to be a surrogacy scheme.
&#8220;Anything goes,&#8221; Fell told ABC 7. &#8220;And these clinics, these agencies are not regulated by any governing body.&#8221;
&#8220;That to me smells of trafficking, child trafficking,&#8221; she added. &#8220;What are the intentions of having that many children at home through these assisted reproductive technologies?&#8221;
Earlier this month, Fell told The Daily Wire, “For years, we’ve warned that the commercial surrogacy industry operates in legal and ethical gray zones, creating conditions ripe for abuse. This case isn’t just about one agency or one couple; it reflects a deeper pattern of treating women as wombs-for-hire and children as commodities.”
“We believe this case points to a form of organized reproductive trafficking, and the public should be outraged,” she added. “And it won’t stop unless we hold the fertility industry accountable and close our borders to international surrogacy arrangements.”

Federal authorities are investigating allegations of China-tied, for-profit baby selling operations in California, The Daily Wire can first report.
Federal sources inside California confirmed the investigation into the alleged &#8220;rent-a-womb&#8221; scheme on Wednesday evening, after The Daily Wire inquired into claims that the California Department of Child and Family Services removed over 20 babies from the home of a Chinese couple running the Marks Surrogacy agency.
Surrogate mother Kayla Elliot shared with The Daily Wire that she was one of many women contacted through Facebook by Marks Surrogacy, which is now going by the name &#8220;<a href="https://www.futurespringsurrogacy.com/">Future Spring Surrogacy</a>,&#8221; an agency that pairs parents with potential surrogate mothers. She entered into a contract with the agency, carried the baby to term, and gave up the baby to its &#8220;intended parents,&#8221; she told The Daily Wire.
She says that she and multiple women across the country were contracted by the surrogacy agency to carry children for the same “intended parents&#8221; — who, she says, turned out to be Mandarin-speaking employees of the surrogacy agency that had recruited her. 
Then she learned, to her horror, that the California child services agency had allegedly discovered 21 babies in the home of the &#8220;intended parents,&#8221; and that the baby she had birthed was in the care of the state. Elliot said she has since been contacted by the FBI and questioned thoroughly about the agency, its handling of the baby, its ties to China, and more.
The California Department of Child and Family Services and Future Spring Surrogacy did not immediately return The Daily Wire&#8217;s requests for comment.
A federal source who spoke with The Daily Wire expressed concerns about the number of children who are born at California delivery centers.
This official described the situation as &#8220;very bizarre,&#8221; saying: &#8220;Babies are being neglected, then transported back to China.&#8221; And further, the official pondered, the children are born in the United States and thus have citizenship, but how does one prove that each baby is who the parents are saying they are?
&#8220;It&#8217;s a national security threat,&#8221; he stressed.
Elliot <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=MUAou2sIyzM&amp;feature=youtu.be">first shared her story</a> with the Center for Bioethics and Culture Executive Director Kallie Fell, who told The Daily Wire that her team was &#8220;devastated&#8221; by the story — but not surprised. Fell said that the case reflects a disturbing, deeper pattern of &#8220;commodification, deception, and international legal loopholes&#8221; in the surrogacy industry.
&#8220;For years, we’ve warned that the commercial surrogacy industry operates in legal and ethical gray zones, creating conditions ripe for abuse,&#8221; she said. &#8220;This case isn’t just about one agency or one couple; it reflects a deeper pattern of treating women as wombs-for-hire and children as commodities.&#8221;
&#8220;We believe this case points to a form of organized reproductive trafficking, and the public should be outraged,&#8221; Fell said. &#8220;And it won’t stop unless we hold the fertility industry accountable and close our borders to international surrogacy arrangements.&#8221;
Mark Surrogacy first reached out to the surrogate mother who spoke with The Daily Wire in January 2024 on Facebook, according to messages reviewed by The Daily Wire.
&#8220;I saw your post that you&#8217;re interested in becoming a surrogate,&#8221; the message said. &#8220;I currently am working with a Chinese couple located in Los Angeles CA. They are seeking to find a surrogate to have a baby for them. Would you be open to talk more about it?&#8221;
Elliot agreed to the conversation. She met the agency&#8217;s requirements and signed on with the agency in February. A July 2024 Facebook post from Mark Surrogacy shows Elliot smiling with a bouquet of flowers, saying that &#8220;the embryo is transferred successfully by early July this month.&#8221;
When she was about 17 weeks pregnant, however, Elliot began connecting with other surrogate mothers online. She told The Daily Wire that multiple women she connected with said that they had carried babies for the same Chinese couple, all at the same time.
“That’s when I knew something was seriously wrong,&#8221; she said in an interview with Fell. After the baby&#8217;s birth, she was connected with even more women who had carried babies for the same &#8220;intended parents.&#8221; 
These women, Elliot shared, were from Pennsylvania, Georgia, and California, and they had been talking to each other about the bizarre situation for weeks. They all began sending each other pictures of the same intended mother, she said. 
“There was actual diehard, like, picture proof of all these women holding their babes with the same mom standing right next to them,&#8221; she told Fell. &#8220;Some of them were within weeks of each other. I had the baby March 13, there was a girl who delivered the last week of February, another girl who delivered a couple weeks after I did.”
The women did not know who to contact or what to do, Elliot said. But, now that authorities are involved, they may get some answers.
&#8220;This is something NO ONE would have ever imagined,&#8221; Elliot wrote on Facebook. &#8220;Ever. Worst possible case scenario ever. We are all being patient as well, waiting to hear as investigations move forward. The only facts we have are the facts about our own personal journeys, yet somehow they all tie together in a strange twisted way&#8230;One day soon I&#8217;m sure this will all be up to the public on the news.&#8221;
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">&#8220;Since I&#8217;ve come forward on other social media platforms and now [Facebook], many women have stepped forward, making posts in multiple agency review groups, and trying to raise awareness about this horrific agency,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Yes, all the stories are real. We don&#8217;t have guaranteed facts about what has been going on with this agency for years prior but we do now what they&#8217;re being investigated for now, so stay away and stay aware!&#8221;</div>

EXCLUSIVE: Feds Investigating Alleged China-Linked ‘Rent-A-Womb’ Surrogacy Scandals In California

A video of an influencer couple celebrating their twins’ first birthday has reignited the conversation about the morality of surrogacy.
The clip in question shows Joseph and Nathan Hughes, two gay hair stylists who live in Texas, throwing a lavish birthday party for the children. The Hughes men are popular on social media for showcasing their family.
The couple’s friend Kortney, who works at their salon, donated eggs while Joseph’s sister Breeanna acted as a gestational carrier for the couple, per The Mirror.
Joseph and Nathan have been sharing extensively online about their experience, but the video of the birthday party has gone viral as viewers question the overall idea of surrogacy, plus observe how the twins don’t seem excited or happy at the party, noting how neither one smiles during the video.

“This should be illegal,” one reply <a href="https://x.com/gentrywgevers/status/1915526597886562695">said</a>.
Another chimed in, <a href="https://x.com/ThnKMyMmsGnCrzy/status/1915539163018920052">writing</a>, “Why do those babies look like they don&#8217;t even know these people?”
“The fact that they used friends and family as their donor and surrogate is less disturbing than paying some random woman to completely abandon the child they carried for nine months,” another person <a href="https://x.com/crystalandqueue/status/1915543238200479827">wrote</a>. “My biggest concern with both of these babies is their lack of eye contact and facial expressions in every video I’ve ever seen of them. They’re completely disconnected which makes me wonder what happens off camera.”
“As a mom, I am so upset by the children&#8217;s reactions and body language,” another <a href="https://x.com/Aphrohditee/status/1915912434621055363">echoed</a>. “You can tell they are not only uncomfortable, they are not happy. And they can buy them all the things in the world and dress them up cute, but any sane person who has had a child can see there is NO connection between those babies and the people holding them.”
Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh, who has spoken about moral concerns regarding surrogacy in the past, also <a href="https://x.com/mattwalshblog/status/1916589500739764357?s=43&amp;t=BDz6oekueqrSVJ50bM62xw">commented</a> on the clip.
“Somehow ‘social conservatives’ still get a bad rap, even on the Right. But we’ve been right about every issue and usually decades ahead,” he tweeted. “We’ve been saying for many years that gay adoption and surrogacy should be illegal. Now everyone else seems to be catching on. This is an abomination.”
“It is, in a sense, child trafficking. Selling a baby as a prop, a plaything is just wrong,” another wrote. “Let’s check in on these two and the kid in 10 years.”

Colton Underwood, the former lead of &#8220;The Bachelor&#8221; who later came out as gay, laughed with his husband on their podcast about how their newborn son &#8220;doesn&#8217;t have a mother.&#8221;
Underwood is married to Democratic strategist Jordan Brown. The pair adopted a baby boy a month ago using an egg donor and a surrogate, and they <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@coltonunderwood/video/7431651810730937642?_r=1&amp;_t=8r0on7DUFZf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talk</a> about that process and parenthood on their &#8220;Daddyhood&#8221; podcast, which says it is &#8220;humanizing the fertility journey.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s our son and he doesn&#8217;t have a mother,&#8221; Brown said as Underwood finished the sentence with him and the two laughed.

&#8220;I think that is something, if I could scream it from the rooftop, I would,&#8221; Underwood said. &#8220;Our child has two dads, and he does not have a mother.&#8221;
Brown held the one-month-old and fed him a bottle as they went on to discuss comments people make about the baby.
&#8220;Sometimes it&#8217;s rude and disrespectful and again, other times it isn&#8217;t. Some people don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;There are comments sometimes of, this child was ripped away its mom.&#8221;
&#8220;Not the truth,&#8221; Underwood said.
&#8220;Not at all,&#8221; Brown continued. &#8220;We made Bishop because there was an egg donor who is a separate person from the incredible woman who carried him who was our surrogate, and by the way, neither of them feels in their heart like he&#8217;s their child.&#8221;
&#8220;The term we use is he has an egg donor,&#8221; Underwoods said. &#8220;He doesn&#8217;t have a biological mom. He had an egg donor, and he had a surrogate that brought him into this world.&#8221;
Most of the podcast&#8217;s episodes get a few hundred, sometimes a few thousand views.
Underwood was previously accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend from The Bachelor, who claimed he planted a tracking device on her car. She filed a restraining order against him.
Surrogacy has become a highly controversial practice in recent years.
Critics argue that surrogacy is unethical since it creates a pregnancy with the intention of separating the child from its mother immediately upon birth. Many celebrities including Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Paris Hilton have used surrogates to carry their children.
Critics also argue that surrogacy exploits low-income women who may agree to carry a child for the money, which can be $100,000 or more. Surrogacy is also loosely regulated in some areas, which critics say leaves women and children vulnerable.

It&#8217;s not easy to find examples of practices that are legal everywhere in the United States, but also banned in Canada and most of Europe on moral grounds. Usually it works the other way around. Canada doesn&#8217;t place any restrictions whatsoever on abortion, for example. The government will actually pay its citizens to kill their children at any point in a mother&#8217;s pregnancy. But in the U.S., in many states at least, there are some limits on that kind of barbarism.
Meanwhile in Europe, as I <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1340-the-euthanasia-business-is-booming-as-western-civilization-gives-up-on-itself">discussed</a> yesterday, there&#8217;s an extremely permissive attitude toward euthanasia. It&#8217;s easy for young adults to get their doctors to kill them in The Netherlands, even when they don&#8217;t have any kind of terminal illness. But in the U.S., killing patients for no reason is still frowned upon by major medical associations. For now, anyway.
So in general, we&#8217;re more restrictive when it comes to most immoral and unethical medical procedures. Canada and Europe take the opposite approach.
But there is one glaring exception to this rule. And it concerns commercial surrogacy, or the act of paying a woman to carry someone else&#8217;s baby, usually via in vitro fertilization (IVF). This is distinct from so-called &#8220;altruistic surrogacy,&#8221; where there&#8217;s no profit motive. Yet still nearly as many ethical problems, despite the name. Commercial surrogacy is legally <a href="https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/eu-parliament-designates-surrogacy-as-human-trafficking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">equated</a> with human trafficking by the E.U., because it provides significant financial incentives for women to rent out their body to strangers. So they ban it. The <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/biologics-radiopharmaceuticals-genetic-therapies/legislation-guidelines/assisted-human-reproduction/prohibitions-related-surrogacy.html#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">same is true</a> in Canada.
It&#8217;s not true in the United States, however. This week, the state of Michigan <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/news/press-releases/2024/04/01/whitmer-signs-bills-decriminalizing-surrogacy-and-protecting-ivf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">became</a> the last state in the union to decriminalize commercial surrogacy. In other words, in all 50 states, you can now rent a woman&#8217;s body and use it to carry your child, without suffering any criminal penalties.
That seems like it can&#8217;t possibly be true, but it is, <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/news/press-releases/2024/04/01/whitmer-signs-bills-decriminalizing-surrogacy-and-protecting-ivf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Michigan&#8217;s governor. Her office put out a statement saying that Michigan had been &#8220;the only state in the nation to criminalize surrogacy contracts.&#8221; To be clear, there are still <a href="https://www.circlesurrogacy.com/resources/surrogacy-by-states#:~:text=Are%20Surrogates%20Legal%20in%20Every,considered%20legal%3A%20Nebraska%20and%20Louisiana." target="_blank" rel="noopener">several states</a> that say they won&#8217;t enforce commercial surrogacy agreements, but broad criminal bans don&#8217;t apply, as far as I can tell.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1341-viral-video-reveals-the-true-dehumanizing-horror-of-surrogacy-member-exclusive">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
That&#8217;s extremely good news for the surrogacy industry, which is worth around fourteen billion dollars as of 2022. By 2033, analysts expect the surrogacy industry will <a href="https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte/news/2023/09/12/surrogacy-on-the-rise-#:~:text=Global%20Market%20Insights%20estimates%20the,related%20to%20for%20another%20person" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explode in value</a> to $129 billion — an increase of about 900% in just a decade. For perspective, the global weight loss market — which is obviously gigantic, no pun intended — is <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/weight-management-market#:~:text=The%20global%20weight%20management%20market,9.94%25%20from%202023%20to%202030." target="_blank" rel="noopener">valued</a> around $140 billion. So we&#8217;re talking about surrogacy being roughly as big as the weight loss industry in just a few years. You&#8217;ll be seeing surrogacy ads as often as Ozempic commercials.
There are all kinds of reasons why the industry is doing so well. One of them is that infertility is on the rise. Roughly one in ten men and women who are at childbearing age are <a href="https://www.ccrmivf.com/blog/is-infertility-on-the-rise/#:~:text=Infertility%20rates%20are%20rising%2C%20according,of%20childbearing%20age%20have%20infertility." target="_blank" rel="noopener">infertile</a> in this country. In the 1950s, worldwide, each woman had an average of five children. That number is now down to two children, and it&#8217;s falling further. I&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-origins-of-the-anti-human-depopulation-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlined</a> some of the reasons for this infertility crisis in the past.
Suffice it to say, it&#8217;s something the most powerful Left-wing activist groups in the country, including Planned Parenthood, have been hoping to achieve for quite some time. They explicitly want to depopulate the Earth, so they welcome the fact that sperm counts have dropped 38% in a decade. They&#8217;re happy to see more women killing their children, and more men removing themselves from the gene pool.
But the problem here is bigger than infertility because surrogacy is not an appropriate or moral or justifiable response to infertility in any event. Surrogacy (especially commercial surrogacy) is arguably the most direct form of human commodification this side of slavery. It is the purchasing and renting of human bodies, organs, and body parts. That&#8217;s true regardless of your motivation for doing it. And we don&#8217;t allow that kind of transaction in any other context. Federal law prohibits you from selling your organs on eBay. Virtually every jurisdiction in this country outlaws prostitution. People are not chattel.
But in this one case, it&#8217;s allowed, because otherwise, we&#8217;re told that infertile couples and gay men wouldn&#8217;t be able to have children. Therefore, it&#8217;s worth the sacrifice of human embryos. It&#8217;s worth turning a handful of poor countries like Georgia and Ukraine into surrogacy hubs. The women in these countries are selling their bodies for rent to foreigners who are looking for a lower rate, compared to what they might find in the United States. And a lot of couples, particularly gay couples, are taking advantage of that offer.
You might remember that, during the gay marriage debate, we heard the familiar line that two consenting adults should be able to do whatever they want, they&#8217;re not hurting anyone. But that was never true, and surrogacy makes that extremely clear. Surrogacy deprives children of their mothers it robs them of a connection that is hard-wired from birth. No matter how much propaganda you force on children, no matter how many times they hear the lie that having two fathers is completely normal and natural, they know it&#8217;s not true.
There&#8217;s a video circulating online right now that makes this point tragically clear. It&#8217;s footage of a surrogate mother wishing her child a happy birthday. This is a mother who sold her eggs a few years ago to a couple of gay guys, and only sees her daughter through an occasional video call. Here&#8217;s one of those calls:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Woman Sold Her Eggs To Gay Couple V2" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/it-i1IMXS1k?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
As a parent, that clip angers me at the deepest levels of my soul. The thought of my own children being deprived of their mother is horrifying. To lose their mother would be to lose a part of themselves. Like losing a limb, but worse. And yet this is done to children intentionally, and all for the sake of satisfying the wishes of gay couple.
That clip, by the way, is from Surrogacy Concern, which is a group in the U.K. that opposes surrogacy. And yet, in the UK, commercial surrogacy isn&#8217;t generally allowed. Contracts for commercial surrogacy aren&#8217;t enforceable for the most part. But they still allow so-called &#8220;altruistic surrogacy,&#8221; where the surrogate doesn&#8217;t accept any payment, outside of expenses that are incurred.
But as you can see from the video, this model isn&#8217;t much of an improvement over the commercial model. &#8220;Altruistic surrogacy&#8221; isn&#8217;t remotely altruistic, when you consider its impact on both the child and the mother. It&#8217;s devastating and painful for the mother in ways she must vividly understand. And devastating and painful for the child in ways that she cannot yet fully understand. But one day she will.
And yet, somehow, it&#8217;s likely that things are only going to get more and more deranged and dehumanizing from here, as we continue to divorce human reproduction from its natural context. The ultimate dream for many on the Left is to one day make men into surrogates via implanted uteruses. I don&#8217;t know if this will ever be scientifically possible — I doubt it will be, as sustaining a pregnancy requires a lot more than just a uterus, after all — but I do know what some trans activists plan to do with that power should they ever be granted it. Here&#8217;s one video, which was surfaced recently by Robby Starbuck, that gives you some idea:

This man who says he’s trans wants to get the first trans uterus transplant so he can get an abortion. Folks, this is a death cult. <a href="https://t.co/iFaNZfqICg">pic.twitter.com/iFaNZfqICg</a>

He&#8217;s grinning about killing a child for the same reason that Lia Thomas grins while beating female swimmers and depriving them of their rightful accolades and opportunities, which is that he ascribes to an ideology of extreme pathological narcissism. It&#8217;s reminiscent of the video of that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-transgender-movement-is-morphing-into-the-transhumanist-movement-and-the-results-are-horrific" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WPATH expert</a> talking about turning people&#8217;s genitals into abstract art. Above everything else, these people cannot tolerate being told &#8220;no.&#8221; They simply have to believe that they can do anything they want.
In that sense, the underlying ideas behind trans ideology and the commercial surrogacy movement aren&#8217;t that distinct. They&#8217;re both premised on the idea that humans can be gods. They think people can invent their own genders, just as easily as they can invent new ways for two men to &#8220;have a child.&#8221;
But humans don&#8217;t have the power to create new genders. Two men don&#8217;t have the power to create a child. And no one has the authority to end an innocent human life. The commercial surrogacy industry, like so many other movements we&#8217;ve been told to accept over the past decade, is yet another step towards a dystopia that embraces delusions, instead of rejecting them. And as we&#8217;ve seen before, if this is allowed to continue, many children will be irreparably damaged if not killed. They will be forced to suffer in order to appease narcissists and psychopaths. And, as with the trans movement, women — the very people who are supposedly &#8220;empowered&#8221; by this new approach — will again be collateral damage.
