The fact that the surrogate mother provided the egg makes her the biological mother of the twins so the American couple can't easily lay claims to the babies.

The american couples will win....na their babies....there was a contract....were those her "terms" written or just through handshakes.....they must be clearly stated fa. Otherwise, it's her words against their words. The obvious facts are:

1. Complainer was a surrogate
2. She got consideration for the contract
3. Babies are here now
4. She is refusing to hand them over.

She is in obvious breach....the kids are not hers. Highest is she would get some additional compensations but if the couple wants to finish her, she'll be the one paying them despite handing over the babies.

Did you read the post?? Her egg and the Man's sperm was used. So IT IS her babies.

Effiong is obviously not a surrogate lawyer. He should go to court rather than come to the public. Is it the public that will help them resolve contractual issues?

By the way, the last time I checked, you are not allowed to be a surrogate mother for personal gain. The only payment the surrogate mother is entitled to is payment strictly related to the pregnancy. Which one is pay for parents surgeries and sponsor client in the US? Is that how it is done in Nigeria? I’m sure if they had gone through a reputable surrogacy agency, they won’t be having this issue.
our politics is local so is our surrogacy terms and conditions Bce!!!

The baby belongs to the mother and much as the father. Since the agreement wasn't honoured they should revert to babydaddy and babymama.

Who will agree to such conditions??
How much are they paying for surrogacy..??

5million at most....because the coupe has to pay for IVF separately..

This one wants to collect full relocation to USA plus nursing education...Nursing education is not less that 25,000-35,000 dollars per year...
She still want the couple to take care of her parents....

It’s fraud and massive exploitation
No one will agree to such arrangement ..
The reason those couple came to Nigeria was to pay less since surrogacy is dangerously expensive in the US...

but why did they agree to such in the first place...

Did you read through and still made this comment?
Na wa ooo
The couple abandoned the mother, didn't pay for antenatal neither did they pay for her feedings nor the delivery process and you expect her to hand over the baby.
You don't have human feelings or what?

Lol. Are there women that would gladly carry a baby for 9months for the fun of it or without personal gain in a gestational surrogacy?

The surrogate mother's demands are extortionate and unreasonable so the couple should have backed out. On the other hand since it's her eggs then it's her children so that makes everything complicated.

They chose to use family ties to negotiate. The surrogate collected 600k and she was not well informed... Now her lawyer is trying to gain public sympathy rather than heard to court...

I know this story is probably way more complicated than what was posted here.

If a written agreement exists with these alleged terms included, then the surrogate has a case, but still, it may be case of the US couple having their baby and paying compensation to the surrogate for reneging on parts of the agreement. Also, considering that the US couple don't have the authority to guarantee a US visa, that portion of the agreement may be invalid already. It's like promising to make someone President of Nigeria if they donate to your charity. Your money is gone, bro.

If there was no written agreement, then the case becomes even more complicated. But the fact that she admits there was a surrogacy agreement and she accepted 600K from the couple means there was actually a surrogacy agreement, and US couple may get the child in the end. The surrogate may even get in trouble for reneging on the agreement with concocted stories. There have been many cases of surrogates changing their minds and refusing to give the baby to the couples

But the baby is not biological hers, why can't she come to terms with her lawyers and the US lawyers do that they will reach an agreement.

Those US couple are ready to delopy all their live saving and resources to get those twins.

There are two parties to a contract, they didn't fulfill their side of the contract according to the post.

treatise:


Naija and oyinbo land not be the same. It's a big business in Ukraine and Eastern Europe and rules/laws are obeyed in those places.
the law is obeyed here in Nigeria as well...we have agencies that do it along side their surrogate lawyers.... though I know in.canada it's only legal if the surrogate mum will do it free of charge,you only take care of her during the pregnancy period but it becomes ILLEGAL if you pay the surrogate mum and you could go to jail...I don't know of USA though

Did you read were they breached the terms of the contract? She is in her right to terminate the contract if the terms agreed upon have not been fulfilled. If this case is tried in any competent court, they are clearly losing.

I don't even think they're fit to be parents.

I don't think that is how the law works. If I draw up an agreement/contract with impossible terms, it means I can't enforce such contract, especially if those terms or conditions were impossible to complete from the inception of said contract. Also, in contractual law, an agreement can either be verbal or written.

Her demands are outrageous. I'll always tell people to remove family ties while making things with relations. Follow the law, cause they'll still come back to frustrate your life. Someone has advised her to keep the children being the mother, so that the husband would be forced to relocate them abroad and marry her in the process.
God help my gender. We're too manipulative and unreliable.
