Authorities in California have taken custody of 21 children, all born via surrogacy, from a couple accused of misleading the surrogate mothers involved. The couple was arrested for child endangerment and neglect after an investigation revealed that they had been running a surrogacy scheme, allegedly tricking women into carrying multiple pregnancies for them. The children, including many toddlers, were found in a Southern California home under disturbing conditions. More surrogate mothers have come forward, raising concerns about potential trafficking and the welfare of the children. The situation has led to a broader investigation into unethical practices within surrogacy.
