Surrogate Mom Who Gets A DNA Test Is Caught Off Guard By The Results

When Jessica Allen volunteered to be a surrogate for a Chinese couple, she took plenty of time to prepare herself for the physical and emotional feat. She knew it would be no easy burden. However, no amount of planning could have possibly readied her for the nightmare she was about to face. At first, everything seemed to be going smoothly. Then came the ultrasound.

A Bold Decision

California resident Jessica Allen was a proud mom of two. She carried both of her own children, so she knew all the nitty-gritty details of bringing kids into the world. And if it meant helping out another family, Jessica would gladly carry a child again. "What's the worst that could happen?" she reasoned.

A Noble Calling

Jessica signed up to become a surrogate, all in hopes of helping a family in need while making a few bucks. She thought she found the perfect couple, who were simply desperate to create a child from their own DNA. Their struggle touched Jessica's heart.

Chinese Couple

The couple was from China, but since surrogacy isn't yet legal in their country, they trekked it to the United States to find their miracle surrogate. In 2016, Jessica agreed to house their unborn child.

The Procedure

With the help of San Diego-based Omega Family Global, it was a done deal. In April 2016, the couple's male embryo was implanted in Jessica's uterus via in-vitro fertilization. Everyone had their fingers crossed.
