Surrogate mum confused on whether to keep baby
According to her, the couple even went to the extent of divorcing after she gave birth and none of them agreed to take the baby from her.
She took care of the baby herself because the money they paid her only lasted three months.
After bonding with the baby for one year, the couple came back together and now wanted their baby but she has no plans of returning the child.
She has pleaded for advice from netizens, asking them what she should do.
She wrote:
“I am a surrogate mother I helped a very rich couple birth a baby. Something happened and they got divorced after birthing the child. Neither of them wanted the child anymore. I and the baby survived on the remains of the money they paid me. Wasn't even enough to go for 3 months But we strived.
"I bonded so well with the child Cus we do practically everything together and in the same space. The couple are back together after a year and they want their child. I love her so much & I can't let go.”
In a chat with a doctor, Amicable Chukwu, she told Legit.ng that a surrogate mother has no right to ownership of a baby.
In her words:
"There is usually a contract for the surrogate mother to sign before carrying the child. She has no right to ownership of the baby. If the mother wants the child back, she will take the child unless there was another contact which was signed for the surrogate mother to take over ownership."
