Making Adjustments
Apart from the additional expenses, Allen received $30,000 for becoming a surrogate. When they found out about the twins, they added another $5,000 to her monthly paycheck, which only made sense. Things went on smoothly until the delivery date.
Something Was Off About The Babies
Allen underwent a C-section on December 12, 2016 after 38 weeks. She delivered two babies, though she did not get the chance to take a look at them since an opaque screen separated them. They were taken away right after their birth, but she had her opportunity the same night as she was recovering. The intended mother dropped by her room and showed her a photo of the babies. She revealed to People, “One looked full Chinese, the other didn’t look full Chinese. It was clear that they were not identical… but I didn’t ask questions.”
