Selling surrogates: wombs for hire in Georgia | Unreported World

- Unreported World journeys into the largely unregulated surrogacy market in Georgia, where wealthy couples can have multiple babies at the same time, and where there is no shortage of vulnerable surrogates to meet the demand.
Sitting on the edge of Europe, Georgia’s surrogacy industry is booming. Prospective parents from around the world are turning to clinics with modest prices to help provide their dream of a family. But does this largely self-regulating industry safeguard the thousands of women who are turning to surrogacy to make a living?

When they showed the first woman I thought she was keeping an orphanage for abandoned surrogate babies. She's absolutely insane. Children are not accessories, no matter how rich you are.
She's treating them like her life is a glorified sims game and the way to make the game more interesting is to have 100 babies. I hope no one else does this.
Yes, 21 is a lot, that's not quite normal. As long as she takes a good care of them there is no harm done, maybe kids won't have as much attention of their mother as they should, but it was quite popular in east eu to have more than 8 kids in the past.
Absolutely insane!
TOTALLY STUPID!!!!!!!!!!
@@aak8297 shes crazy , the nannies will be there parents , they are this womans accessory
The rich family with 21 babies is questionable. Millionaire husband was sentenced to life in prison for hiring a hitman, flees country, has 21 babies under 2 at the same time and is away on business the day the cameras show up?
They are selling those babies 🙄
Damn, never thought about trafficking
I just thought it was the usual dumb trophy wife and the rich husband with a shady past you see so much on the news, although those stores usually involve stupid hobbies or businesses destined to fail, not the mass adoption of babies
I doubt they will sell them, they are their genetic children, they've paid a small fortune to have them, and pay others to care for them - this is some sick fetish.
Tuatha De Sidhe i can see that, and in a way i hope for that as it’s probably the better outcome, but i’m not sure i believe it
selling human organs is rampant in black market
@@YourAnpanman... Yeah.. And these people are more likely to be the purchasers of those organs - they are the super rich "elite" = poor peoples children are at risk of what you are talking about.
For those who don’t know, pushing on the abdomen during birth artificially increases the amount of uterine pressure. This is called Uterine Fundal Pressure. Side effects include uterine rupture, postpartum urinary retention, severe perineal trauma and pain, rib fracture, postpartum dyspareunia, and potential neonatal distress or trauma. It may also lead to a higher risk of tearing of the perineum and a prolapsed uterus later in life. The use of fundal pressure is prohibited in the United Kingdom and generally not recommended by many medical facilities and practitioners in the United States.
It was the most animal thing I’ve seen all day! Of course a man doing the pushing. Shame on him!
Seeing him do that made my jaw drop. Absolutely horrible and cruel to her and the baby. Hearing her shriek as it happened was one if the worst things ive heard in a while
Plus the midwife or Dr telling her not too scream! Obstetric violence 😢
They do that here in Serbia all the time
The woman and womb did the job.. So that is done. next woman womb /child can be sold.. Sometimes a child is not good enough, so it is abandonment..can happen right?
I can't believe that that woman told a woman pushing out a whole ass human from a tiny hole to do so quietly! 😤 She deserved a giant slap across the face
Well, they tell you to hold your breath when you push (which actually causes higher likelihood for tears). So I imagine the nurse telling her not to scream is the same as them telling me not to breath out while I was pushing.. disagree with both, but it may not be as sinister as you originally thought
I think it was lost in translation. She probably adviced her not to scream, but to "groan" deeper to redirect the pressure more efficiently.
They pushed on her belly told her not to scream and kept batting her hands from grasping anything such abuse of a woman in labor. Absolutely cruel.
A lot of women face abuse and violence durung childbirth. Even vere in Germanya lot of women came up to tell their stories.
I think that in poor countries woman are treated like animals...so sad
@@kwiiin_ I did here in Kansas 11 yrs ago when I had my 2nd daughter. I had a failed epidural and she was sunny side up and stuck they wouldn't let me try different positions and the nurse kept telling to stop screaming cuz I had the epidural. She refused to believe me. Turns out it was pinched in my spine and I never got the medication. I had a night nurse check my back after birth and I had a horrible bruise. My daughter was stuck for 2 hrs while they discussed a c section which I didn't want cuz they were insistent that I had an epidural meantime I felt everything and she broke my tail bone and nearly shattered my pelvis. Her head was swollen and measured 14 cm huge head ,sunny up baby ,and cruel nurse, and inexperienced Dr. And an anesthesiologist who was pissed off and trying to leave his shift. It was the worst unimaginable experience ever.
@@daphnehass5116 that is horrendous. I agree with you not every Dr or midwife are ministering angels. Had a horrible experience myself with my last baby, and like yourself an epidural with a previous birth didn't work. Beautiful children all grown up now but giving birth can be very difficult for some. Must have taken you a while to get over that birth both mentally and physically.
@@mariankelly8224 yes it took alot to move past that experience. I didn't bond well with my daughter initially I couldn't return to my overnight freight job. I still walk funny as my hips were never corrected. I'm pregnant now and due soon and I've let my Dr know just how important it is that I have freedom to move about during my labor and other pain alternatives since anesthesia doesn't work well for me. Still a little scared though 😬 but my husband is great support and I've already met the staff at this hospital. I took those steps early this time. I don't want anyone I don't know attending to me
That woman doesn't seem to be a mother, she wants to be a director of a nursery school. She's delegating all the hard physical work to others. This is taking white collar lifestyle to an extreme.
Ok first off I agree with you about the woman being awfully creepy. The way she acts when the reporters are there clearly she have something sinister in here.
She acts strange too. And about her husband having some issue back in Turkey
Yeah, CPS needed to get involved in her home situation. That was the oddest feeling I got seeing her with all those children. It wasn’t natural. You can’t show equal love with that many children. That has to be considered child abuse.
You put better than I could have
@oana gabriela do you plan on having 20+ children with a criminal? No? Then don’t say ignorant things. This has nothing to do with jealousy.
Update: the couple with 21 children’s father is now in prison for money laundering. How heartbreaking now what will happen to all these children 😥
@@nino6439 same what's their name??
Why? “Why not” umm really wtf🤦♀️
Really?
:00 I'm invested, do you can share info??
Please tell us lol.
"The parents are staying in China until the baby's documents are ready in Georgia". Meanwhile the baby is being fed and cared for by nurses". Absolutely heart breaking.
China now is abandoned their “one child’ policy, couples can have up to 3 children now
Probably also had travel restrictions during this time as it was probably during covid.
So sick! Sick world! 😭😭😭😭 my heart is breaking for these babies and surrogates! Poor baby without skin to skin contact. These kids are going to have huge psychological problems later in life… this is human trafficking!
I think during covid, they couldnt come. If I was the mother of the baby I would ask the surrogate to please hold and cuddle my baby
The scene of a newborn baby not touched or held but left... is the most heartbreaking part of this video.
It said parents staying in China until the baby's legal documents in Georgia are ready. But why couldn't they travel and be with the baby and wait in Georgia. Why have a baby is you leave him/her alone...why!!!!
It's disgusting neglect and the woman that birthed him was so brutally abused during labor
@Anemone the way the doctor came in and pushed on her belly to pop the baby out did it as well. wtf. This is a breeding hospital, treating women like dogs, even worse. It should be illegal. People pay this little for a surrogate, but I'm positive they have no idea how these women are treated. Disgusting.
@@suzanneberger4312 I’m not sure if this is the right answer but I remember when COVID began a lot of surrogate babies around the world were left in orphanages or the surrogates were asked to temporarily care for the babies because if the parents were from another country, they’re were not allowed to travel in and agencies were also backlogged to complete legal paperwork. Those poor children.
@@fabiolaflores8919 Omg!
This is human trafficking and women's torture on a whole new level! The rich woman with the 25 babies that she had other women suffer through and raising them on a "train" is the most inhumane thing I have seen in my life! Good Grief!
your right in one point but its not like there forcing the mother to do it. this mothers chose to do it for whatever personal reason they have. the mothers are in there home not in a facility or anything. its wrong but that's a choice each of those mothers did.
@@wberm7708 is it a choice if they’re financially coerced into doing it? it’s not a coincidence that surrogate mothers all come from poor backgrounds
@@user-db2go6iq7h hmmm doesn't that fit the definition of every job tho? Like you're technically coerced into working in a regular job too.
@@rajindar3001 yes, all jobs under capitalism are coerced, but that doesn’t mean they’re all equally bad. being coerced into an office job is not the same thing or anywhere near as bad as being coerced into constantly having babies for other people (which takes extreme physical and mental tolls on women). the nature of surrogacy is different from most other “jobs” - it makes it so that a woman’s body is simply a means to an end, not something valued in its own right.
@@user-db2go6iq7h but again most jobs make it so that your body and labor are means to an end, when you say that being coerced into surrogacy is worse than being coerced into an office job it seems to me like you have a problem with surrogacy itself rather than the coercion, because coercion exists in both jobs, correct me if i misunderstood.
The way that lady in labour was treated was disgusting and the way that they pressed on her stomach was nothing more than abuse and medical negligence and I was appalled by the way that she was treated and I dread to think how they treat others when they've got no one filming them
These mothers are also biologically link to those kids, they grow them with their blood, their bodies build bones and cartilage and vessels through them. They literally feed them, protect them and help them develop for 9 months, not just any 9 months, the most important of your life. The seed is not yours, but the tree grows on your lawn and your ground allows it to root and grow 😢
I think it has been scientifically proven that the baby will inherit some of the carring mother’s genes!
So very true... 😭
Sadly surrogacy is like a business deal. The surrogate gets paid for carrying the baby using her womb for rent. Biologically the child is not hers which maybe the reason they take the child away at birth to avoid attachment with the baby which can happen. They should be treated with empathy, support and respect at all times & the parents should be there for the delivery to nurture their baby from the onset. In these case the surrogates are exploited and the babies kept waiting which seems so inhumane. Here in England everything has to be done legally through solicitors. Also the surrogates are vetted to ensure they are mentally stable & not vulnerable or exploited to do this. Both parties must be happy and willing before signing the contract. The surrogates medical & family history is checked thoroughly so she will be refused even if she is fertile. All this costs a lot of money which is why maybe parents desperate for a baby go for the cheaper illegal route.
Neither the seed or the Egg is your actually,but the womb grows it.

Artificial womb can be used now to grow a fetus.
It made me cry watching that woman give birth and the baby left crying in the same room. The baby is crying for its mother and the “mother” is not allowed contact. Absolutely heartbreaking.
😥😔😔
😓😭
I cried too😥😥😥😥
Exactly!!
I am no expert in Islamic laws, but from my understanding, from a verse from holy Quran, the lady who gives birth is the mother of the child. There are two verses. I pick the shorter one:
"We have enjoined man concerning his parents: His mother carried him through weakness upon weakness, and his weaning takes two years. Give thanks to Me and to your parents. To Me is the return. (14)"
Wow, the mom couldn't touch the baby, but they let her lay there and hear the baby cry. That's cruel, and heartless. 👎
Ikr. At least, put the baby in other room. And why can't the nurse hold and hug the baby for a while to comfort him/her? So heartless.
Yes it is, but i think they are afraid of the risk of the surrogate getting attached to the child
Why didn't they take the just born child to another room? Having the surrogate mom, lay there and hear the child cry It's cruel. It's not about attachment, this turns into torture.
No human being, the operative word human, in their right mind, will let a newborn infant just cry. These people are subhuman, make no mistake about it. You can't cloud over who they are because they're running a babyselling business. That's what it is baby selling, better known as infant trafficking!
@@ley_la9554 so why couldn't the nurse hold the baby then? It's cruel to let it cry so much
@@SUNROSE7878 this. Babies are treated like objects instead of humans. This was so vile. The face of the mother when the nurse said "Mom's okay" said it all.
I actually threw away my phone when the doctor pressed on that woman stomach. Without asking her or anything. I have no words but I know I would have punched the doctor very hard if I was there. Disgusting people.
As someone who has given birth, and is not pregnant with my second child. I cringed and cried when they pushed in her stomach to get the baby out. That was truly awful I can't even imagine the pain that caused her. 😢
Right?! My god. How freaking cruel. Wishing you a safe and healthy delivery.... if it hasn't happened already, that is.
I have not given birth but I screamed. That's absolutely desgusting. It makes me so sad and mad🥺🥺😭. How cruel.
You’re as bad as the first woman desperate.
In the past this was a common procedure, but there is a very good reason why it is forbidden in alot of countries
@@AnniePannanie because it’s hella gross and desperate
Newborns grow and develop extremely quickly and they desperately need mother's touch. Leaving the baby to just lie there with noone around to respond to them is incredibly cruel and makes my blood boil.
And heart ache.
Q
SO SO SAD to watch that poor baby being neglected of human touch.
😭😭😭😭
How do you share your motherly love with 22 children of the same age? That's too excessive!!
You can't. I don't know what that couple has planned but it's nothing good, imo.
The nanny will give the love I guess
I wonder if this Chinese orders 300 babies then sell their organs.
Y not. With all the money she has. Surely she can raise them well
@@christianrivero3270 maternal child attachment doesn't work that way. They have a father who is rarely home as well I imagine.
My blood pressure dropped when I saw him press her stomach
They do that to make the baby come out faster I have seen people from Africa china japan phillopens do that during birth vlogs
My doctor push my stomach. In USA.
Same!
Just the fact that a newborn has no contact with another person! So cruel and impactful.
Seeing that baby all alone at the end knowing he ain't been lovingly held or able to build a bond or connection with anyone really broke my heart.... Sometimes I really have to wonder about the world we live in, this just doesn't seem right to me....
no this world is dark and humans are evil.
I agree that really nothered me
Is what a surgate mother those
Yea,i do agree with you,,the world is pure evil,,only Religion xaccan Save Humnity👌😍🤗🤗🤗😮
Right! His parents could have at least come be with the child in Georgia if his papers are not ready!
A newborn baby being abandoned for two months as the Chinese parents want the documents ready before coming over, that’s absolutely heart breaking, that poor little baby has missed out on so much 😣😢
You must understand, he has been bought.
@@evastephan9441 that’s not the poor baby’s fault that he has been bought
@@FallenAngelEnemy Of course not. He's the victim of this traffic. But when people are allowed to buy children one has to expect that they will treat them like merch.
@@evastephan9441 true, unfortunately 😔
Like you has 9 months to get all that shit ready. Meanwhile the baby is all alone. 💔
This is HUMAN TRAFFICKING under the name of "SURROGATE" title. The first Millionare woman they show her and her husband should be jailed. That Millionare guy and his young wife both should be jailed up.
Sounds like a pedophile dream, and don't forget most people in government and high end businesses all partake in exploitation of infants, children and teens. What's a dead infant to there pleasure...can imagine that government owns the rentals these women are trying to buy, the price just goes up and it's a merry dance for the powerful
I agree with you 💯
Children Who are not hugged loved and taken care of at birth, go through huge and deep traumas for the rest of their lives!
Children receive all kinds of emotions, feelings and traumas when they are in the mother"s wound. Imagine what feelings surrogate mothers pass to these children during fetal life. Poor children treated as objects!
Why aren’t the intended parents present. They should be there as a requirement.
Yes, it is bad for the mom and the baby as well. That baby will have attachment problems all her life I suppose ...
Poverty is causing these women to become surrogates not because they want to be a surrogate but they have too. Makes it to difficult emotionally for them.
The rich couple is up to something sinister. Never heard of anyone having that many babies,same age. Future trafficking is all I could think about
I cant believe they let the baby just lay there and the Chinese couple couldn't come or be there for the birth
This couple is now in the news

P.S. I want to see ALL these criminals sentenced to death.
I lost my first child after a complicated pregnancy. The doctors may have anticipated this and did not allow me to see the baby while I was recovering from a near death surgery. However I can never forget the bond that I had developed with my baby and it still pains to think about him. I'm sure these mothers do develop a bond with the child in their womb. It's just that their situations don't allow them to express this feeling....very sad 😞 😔 😢
😔♥️
They do. That lady who said they have no feelings or develop none are just fully ignorant animals!
I’m so sorry for your loss mama❤
Child trafficking on a national scale. Absolutely terrible and sad...
And turning women into portable wombs. I find this slightly worse.
@@kwiiin_ who cares she’s $ hungry
I agree
It is so messed up
@@kwiiin_ The surrogate women are usually done having their own children, or surrogacy allows them to feed their families. They are choosing this money-making path. They are adults and resilient. I'd say the worst victims in this horror show are the 300 babies being made for one "couple". They will be used/abused their entire lives or until they escape.
The U.S. does it too! Norway is one of the few countries than bans this barbaric practice of treating women & babies like dogs/breeders
My heart broke for that baby who waited two whole freaking months to meet his parents 😳 The most important time in one's life, when attachment is formed, when all the most important stuff in the brain develops and is supposed to be nurtured and stimulated, he just sat there, this is the sickest, most abusive and cruel thing I've ever seen, my goodness 😭
Surely the parents must be aware of when the child is due obviously a pregnancy takes 9months why won't they be available prior!!! They can afford the price for surrogacy....what would it cost them to be there two months before the baby comes....
So sad 😞
@@Xonyangasi_85k exactly my thoughts if they needed the baby badly
Exactly. Apparently they're organising their documents as if they didn't have 9 months to do that. I'm shocked.

I am absolutely horrified at the treatment of Jana giving birth!!! Any number of animal rescue or farm videos show people lovingly with great warm compassion supporting the mama animal giving birth. The foul people who attended Jana's birth treated her with such brutal contempt that it felt absolutely criminal to me, she is nothing more than a means of money to them. And to witness how the man 'assisted' in bringing the Asian child out brought feelings of hateful rage to my heart; may God forgive me. I pray these women using surrogacy to escape violence will be blessed with a future that is brighter than their past is dark. May they feel our loving wishes for them and their own children.
This is human trafficking. Women and child abuse. Cruel and Evil. Absolutely upsetting when the baby was not touched or held these people are inhuman and have no heart or mercy because this is a business
The first woman is an example of "just because you can doesn't mean you should"
Someone wanted 300 babies?? Doe underground child trafficking use these services?!!
Well it goes like this..they are babies with very fresh internal organs.
Babies to feed the perversions of pedophiles through child trafficking. It’s truly a sickening thought. And here in the UK people wonder why so many Eastern European’s come her for a better life.

This world is too many dark realities. my heart weeps for women who don’t have many choices in life…what kind of a world is this? It I’m speechless 💔💔💔
It broke my heart to watch and hear the baby crying 😢 after being put on the cot as a result of surrogate mother not being allowed to touch or cuddle the babies. It was like: poor baby.
What a weirdo . What is the purpose of having so many children if you don’t care for them yourself? It’s not like these were orphans who needed a family.
I don't understand why she didn't adopt 🤦🏼♀️
She wants to be famous
Manufacturing babies to run the family business empire in future. In their view those children will be loyal, to theso called family empire they're building.
Every thing is commercialised now, so sad what our world is turning into, thanks to science, inventions etc
This rich (but really poor in soul) woman wants to play house with human dolls....sick
Having money and being crazy is not a good combination. Poor crazy people can do less harm.
Not letting a baby get that ‘touch to touch’ experience from their mother can actually be extremely harmful for them in the long run it’s been shown that it can actually cause attachment disorders
If we want to believe all the hypothesis made on the baby perceiving his mothers feelings during pregnancy and the bond that is already established, what do they think they are experimenting making the child feel the torture their mother goes through during that pregnancy, what scar will be left to them by being born and not being welcomed into the world?
Yeah. I found myself wondering how messed up the baby not collected for more than 2 months will be. :(
The baby will get in touch with the parents as soon as they take them so i don't think this is a problem affter all, it can be a problem for the mother tho as she is psychologically harmed by it
@@MeadowBrook2000 This one would be laying alone for two months without any parents. That is an eternity for a newborn. And even a traumatic birth may have effects on one's maturing mind. The women were obviously being abused, too... horrible system all around.
@@Aethuviel If you consider that caucasian countries has a big problem of birthrate downfall then this is a minor issue in the big picture that can be sustained.
The saddest reality of the world..feel sorry for the babies and the mothers who deliver them..
I literally came across this channel 10 min ago and very first video is about my native country of Georgia… had no clue surrogacy was so common here . Im sure it definitely takes toll on these girls and Im convinced people do it due to hardship that country is going through right now
We live in a wicked world... The rich demand their desires and the poor suffer. Shame on any country who allow mothers to be treated like this.
People who are saying why the surrogate shouldn't complain about "giving up" the child. You gotta be compassionate though, the surrogate CARRIES the baby for 9 freaking months, it grows inside of the surrogate womb so it's normal there's some attachment.
@mpsa phalalo It can't be helped! It's a biological response come on.
Actually I believe there have been some studies that suggest that a psychological hormone is normally produced to make the pregnant woman get attached to the baby. And I reckon it doesn't matter if her DNA is in the baby or not, the hormone probably still get released and affects the psychology of her brain.
Nothing normal about any of this...
@mpsa phalalo Generally, I am with you on this. But I think the issue here is that these women don't do it because they want some extra pocket money, but because they have to feed their families. It's not really a choice, it's a desperate measure to survive. They are not ready for it emotionally.
She's above 18 have right mind to think. Just like how people do prostitutions it just the same.
Her body her choice. Just like how u all complain about abortion law... When this shit happens u all whine.
It was so awful the way that man pushed on her stomach so the baby could come out. It made me cry to see that. These poor women. Someone save them from all this abuse. And why would a couple want a thousand babies. Seems like a trafficking ring would want 1000 babies.
I was lost for words. That looked dehumanizing for that woman... just utterly shocked.
I find this to be horribly dystopic as I can’t imagine how the baby would be feeling after being separated from what it feels would be it’s mother
I just had my 3rd child last week. Wow. I'm so glad I wasn't alone and the nurses weren't telling me to be quiet. Hearing that woman calling her Mom was jarring, but then seeing the Dr push her stomach as she pushed the last time made me jump out of my seat. I couldn't imagine being treated like that or treating a woman in labor in such a way. Don't get me started on the twenty babies...
Omg same what the hell the dr/nurse just said POP get out, my god...
I can't believe he did that.
I think it might be a cultural thing. Some behaviours and manners may seek abrupt and harsh.
Completely agree. I actually thought the treatment was way more humane in comparison to how doctors handled my delivery. I plan to do ObGyn residency and will make sure my patients are treated with utmost respect!
It's called fundal pressure. It clearly helped as the baby was stuck.
I always respect a reporter who cries when the person they are interviewing cries. That's a sign to me that they are not there to exploit the person's struggles for views or money but are instead there to help them get their story out there or they are there to really immerse themselves in the lives of others to learn more.
Thanks for the great tip! From now on I will cry as well so the people wouldnt know shit!

There’s something really off about this rich lady and I hope someone finds it soon
You can tell. She looks like on the verge of a breakdown.
I suspect it was the husband's idea to get so many and she's playing along cuz he's rich and didn't have to birth them herself.
Dude seems really shady so I think they're raising all of these kids to have minions for nefarious purposes.
@@idalia799 they're both narcissists. That's why she didn't care about the surrogate mothers, never knew what they looked like, never met them. All those children will be fighting for her attention across their entire lives. It's likely their father will be physically and emotionally absent in their lives just like he likely is in hers and she's filling a hole in her life by having that many kids.
There's a reason why in the west, big families are often religious and happen from a lack of birth control where each baby is conceived and born one after another. Twins and triplets are a natural exception but a mother can only feed and provide attention and love to so many at a time in human nature.

How cruel to tell a women not to shout while in labor!!! Edit: and the pushing roughly on her stomach 😨🤬😡 Edit: I'm crying seeing the baby be left to cry without a mother's touch. Evil cruel world we all live in. Honestly this reeks of human trafficking!!!
It's crazy how the mother giving birth had no support from nurses , no holding of her hand no one beside her .
I hate to think where these kids are going to end up. Sex trafficking is the first thing that comes to mind. This is so wrong.
Talking about the couple who wanted to order what 30 babies and said it was to fill his company with workers! The lack of regulations makes this setup a human traffickers gold mine. The opportunity for the exploitation of these children is palatable. Did you see that one documentary on here? A guy was undercover with camera with a human trafficker. He shared details of what and how they sold even babies for sexual torture. It was the most horrifying thing I'd ever seen. 😔

That was my thoughts too that something like trafficking no other reason on the planet to have that many babies..none
I couldn't believe the Chinese couple baby was being kept alive by nurses for months! I can't imagine the detriment that will cause to the development. Someone trying to order 25 babies is asked with no regulation? Jesus. A human traffickers gold mine. Wtf! I don't want to think about how the lack of regulation is being abused. 100% abuse. Those babies are so innocent. God help us. 🙏
I do think it should be regulated though just like how we have adoption centers. Im afraid a child rapist can buy the babies without any questions asked.
At the video there's no "chinese couple baby" what I clearly see is a chinese couple buy baby from a white woman
Surrogacy is even illegal in China, heh. Those parents would go to prison if they're caught.
@Artoria Pendragon I didn't say I agreed with it
@Artoria Pendragon don't live in 2015, its a three child policy now.
Thank you for highlighting this disturbing industry, a very sad world.
There is so much suffering in this world. It's heartbreaking 💔 😢
Imagine telling a women in full blown labour to hush up 😳
Only a woman can feel the pain during delivery.....no bastard dick can evet experience this...fkrs
I experienced that. I gave birth at a public hospital in my country and the midwives and doctors aren't really big fans of screaming women giving birth. 😅 also, what i saw on watching birthing stuff when i was preggo was that screaming makes it more difficult to give birth cuz the pressure you need when pushing the baby out lessens cuz you use your strength screaming.. So i just followed what they said and my delivery was only 10 minutes. It was a breeze if you just do what they say mostly.
@@CrimsonLadyVT still csnt help screaming
@@ruxanajewoon517 yeah it really is different for each women giving birth.
@@CrimsonLadyVT agree
21 children all under the age of 2?? I can't help but think that woman and her husband has something sinister planned in the future for those children. I hope I am very wrong.
Life imitating art! Remember the movie, The Umbrella Academy? That couple is up to something, I agree!!!!
@@22942kitty its like their building a cult. Horrible
@@winter7091 and they already have buildings for the cult. If everything goes according to their plan, we might see anpther Waco in Georgia
Should DEF be illegal
Someone asked for 300 according to the agency which they even turned down!
My husband is from Georgia. This is utterly heartbreaking 😢
I hope that woman and her husband are held accountable someday and I pray they feel the pain they've caused these infants and surrogates! More crimes against humanity.
This is deeply disturbing- it haunts me on all levels. That baby waiting for 2 months with no parent yet is so horrific… these abused women selling their wombs just to survive- what in the hell is going on in that country that this is allowed with no regulations? I am grieved beyond words….
Why would this be considered abuse when you signed the agreement and was counseled enough?
@@danojj700 they were abused by their spouses/partners. Thats why theyre in domestic abuse shelters
@@danojj700 that's like mothers signing shady deals to produce porn just to provide for their families. Yep they may have signed a deal but it's still abuse, not hard to understand.
Same goes for adoptions tho
It is very horrible. I am very shock too. Mostly the mean people areound her when she gave birth. Dont shout, dont this dont that. Inhumain
@@danojj700 It is taking advantage of poor women
Advantage of their low situation in life and in their country by rich couples
These poor women and babies
If the were in a better position, they would never do this.
I am afraid this would relate into human trafficking, in a "different ways"
Wait to find out how many orphanages work.
@@L3r4k yap. I think its gonna turn into slavery too. This is just too fishy
Well that chick and her politician husband definitely have dirty intentions.
@@gonemiam8636 exactly right? The government should banned this i think
Absolutely.
Absolutely shocking and unacceptable. These people are insane.
This is so strange , I hope those kids are safe pls God protect them all
2 months and that baby still hasn’t bonded with its mother!! Even if they were waiting on documents how could they wait 2 months before coming to visit?? There are reasons people shouldn’t have children. This documentary was sad all the way around.
Maybe due to Corona lockdown in China would have prevented the parents travel arrangements.
There is something fishy about this its frightening.She looks very young husband away🙄kids are taught by nannies,how could this women love 20 babies at the same time.And what government allows this.
Im sick to my stomach.
The scene where the baby was not held broke my heart and for 2 months he didn't feel no one love him or hold him like a mother it's just sooo sad
This is so sad and emotional. As a mother it is so hard to imagine the baby who grew in you for 9 month is being taken away, can not even touch it or hold it or kiss it good bye even once. I am sitting here crying, just imagining it. I think these women must wonder if these babies they grew have a good life and are being loved. 😓
Unreported World documentaries are on another level... always!
made a me sad but a yea great docu ALWAYS sastipen 🙏🏽💙❤💚
Yes
Why don't they give the surrogate mothers something to hold afterwards for comfort? Likewise, why don't any of nurses hold and comfort the baby??? It doesn't have to be the mother
This is a great idea! Anything from a pillow to a soft toy, even just to offer something!
It really is a great idea! 👍
IKR
Do anybody ever care about the comfort of poor people?
Nearly all surrogate mother's are already mother's to their biological children... Bring one of them in for cuddles, she's probably doing it for them anyway!
This was very tough to watch. Thanks for the upload
To the people saying the doctor is being cruel by saying "do not scream", she's actually helping her. Because the more she screams, the more she gets tired and the pressure is in her throat and not the abdomen. I know this because i've given birth to 3 wonderful babies.
This is true. With screaming, pushing is less effective most of the time.
You can’t tell that to everyone, a friend was traumatized by her doctors screaming at her during labor and she needed a C-Section to save her life, everyone’/ pain tolerance is different.
@@kerynl.sanchez9891 I agree that everybody's pain tolerance differs but that's different. We're talking about the doctor in the video which was clearly not screaming but merely saying "do not scream" to help the patient. Don't get confused with my statement.
@@waitwhat1818 No one got confused. You just didn't like someone telling you that what the doctor said that you said was good for a woman giving birth wasn't good for every woman.
@@sucram1018 man, you're like that one friend in the group that likes to make everyone fight each other.😂
This breaks my heart, not only for the surrogates (who are treated horribly) but also the babies. How do they know they're going to good homes? Does anyone check in on these babies after they go "home"?
Im sure they do background checks.. Do hospitals check up on babies after birth? Nope. We just leave the parents to it with no support
No one checks. This is human trafficking.
These women are being treated like livestock. The rich woman saying how the doctor monitors the surrogates and she knows nothing... shameful and callous. She wants a herd of children but wants to pick and choose the experiences of motherhood. She is just an egg donor at this point; the nannies are the mothers while she plays director.
I'm not a mother, but seeing Jana crushed after giving birth and the baby boy crying for a hug just broke my heart. I can't stop crying.
The rich woman with the 21 babies is sickening
I also feel bad for the newborn infants that don't get held for first few weeks of their life. IIRC, the sense of touch is supposedly important between mother & child during early development. Could there be some unknown psychological effects on such infants? I guess only time will tell in like 50-100 years.
@oana gabriela panic attacks is why you can't carry a baby?
Im sure they’re reselling the babies or sell the ORGANS
Lol, i had birth at 16 even w history of incest in my past v v horrible aniexty, psychological trauma, and most likely permanent brain damage from all the abuse, but I've always wanted a children that was the only thing in my life that I could atleast control, only reason I shared this is to show that you'll be surprised what you can live thro, once I gave birth on the street of course by accident I was waiting for ambulance and he came out perfect now kinda cool his birth cert says road not hospital, I was 21 by then... and I never use pain relief in any of my birth just laughing gas time to time but I hate that cause it makes u feel sick like... and that sounds more of an excuse for exploitation ...... paying someone for a baby because of "aniexty" might as well be child trafficking..If you want a kid sooo bad just adopt god knows there are plenty of children to love. Cause if you wanted you own so badly you would of had it by now attacks aside.
@oana gabriela WAIT. You are planning for a newborn baby to not be held for the first weeks of their life, just so you can get that infant, and call it your own? Babies die without being held. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Also, the issue of Infant Mental Health - mental, emotional, social problems for people who were suffered from early perinatal neglect. Also, if you are having panic attacks then YOU are mentally ill. Panic attacks are a mental illness. You must seek professional help for your panic attacks. No baby deserves a mother who has panic attacks.
Pre verbal trauma for these innocents
This industry is disgusting.
I mean the people who make business out of it (for people who are wealthy).
How this delivery went is also DISGUSTING.
It is abuse!
Mental abuse (she is not allowed to scream) and how he pushed the stomach.
I thought I was the only one who noticed how he pushed down on the woman’s stomach, literally forcing the baby to pop out. That’s definitely not right! 😳😢
I cant take watching that.. but im pretty sure they are reselling babies and probablysell the ORGANS to the rich.
@@bobbysierraVlogs for sure!
@@Shayoyeye5223 Right!
Literally screamed Omg No! Absolutely disgusting
As someone who has a friend who is from a family who’s great grandma was one of 23 kids, the first one is still sort of mind boggling to me. they had no nannie’s and took care of the kids themselves.
The first woman must have a mental disorder because what person in their right mind thinks that this is ok? You can’t give that many children the attention and support that they all deserve and need. They are not toys or pets they are children and that is going to leave some of them neglected and abused by simply having so many of them so close in age. No amount of staff will ever be able to give them what the parents should be providing.
That pushing on the stomach when she pushed was beyond traumatic 🥺🥺😳😳😢 That is so inhumane
Mind blowing and traumatic
Its actually sometimes needed to increase uterine pressure. Idk if this was the case but it helped the baby!
@@percyjackson5417I agree they do in different countries compared to the USA and the uk
@@percyjackson5417they could've used gravity, she could've torn if too much pressure was applied
The way that monster pushed her stomach at 13:34, He should lose his license for that. What an animal.
Is that even legal?????????
I also just commented "IS THAT LEGAL??"
@@bongekasenatle2816 apparently it is. I was so shocked I had to search it up. It helps the baby be quickly delivered.
He wasn’t pushing on her stomach, it was her uterus.
You should check medical procedures before you make your judgement.
It's called Fundal pressure.
I deeply feel empathy for these women.
They are oblige to whatever this surrogacy brings their ways because of their helplessness.
It's deeply emotional to watch and see through their eyes the pains within their souls.
The people who say: "it's not like they are being forced" can't you see that they are all Extremely poor and with no working options?
Why would they put the crying child in the same room and then demand the surrogate not touch the baby? So cruel to both!
It was such a cold process watching that lady give birth. I honestly feel angered about this. When will this country change their laws surrounding surrogacy?
Wont..and never will.
It was really really sick
Shut up
It's capitalism and it should be normal everywhere
@@kostam.1113 please go back to school and educate yourself
They made her push on her back... Terrible... No pain relief... Different than stopping ppl from paying her to have a baby
Truly shocking! The emotional impact on the babies especially without human touch after birth without parents even in the country! And I heard of stories of babies being born disabled and then just dumped by their own parents. Truly this is sick and these people should just look at adoption instead
There is an article published by the BBC titled, "Indian surrogate mothers talk of pain of giving up baby."
This is a quote:
"But it was hard, I could feel it moving inside of me, and I became attached to it, and I couldn't see it. It had just disappeared."
They had the most intimate connection. They were one. Separation is traumatic. That goes for women everywhere. Kids deserve to know their biological parents, their family histories, their half-siblings (this is applicable to surrogacy because sometimes gametes are purchased to form embryos).
Thats why they have legal papers for these things
Eerily reminiscent of a scene of The Handmaid's Tale, in which the newborn is taken from the birth mother immediately, and the adoptive mother pretends she is receiving her newborn baby. Sickening.
Minus the rape. Institutionalized misogyny and treating women like 'a womb with two legs' is still happening.
I'm reading The Handmaid's Tale now while this documentary pops up and realized how much it resemblance to the novel is just terrifying
Iam not sure that’s how surrogate works. It’s not her eggs and certainly it is not her sperm that makes the baby. She just carries it. Handmaid tale is legit medieval time, something that actually happened in history.
Ok guys this is not disgusting. IF you can't have babies and there are women ready to get paid to carry your baby for you what is wrong with it? The surrogates are willing and not enslaved. As long as it's consensual I don't see the problem. Those surrogates are not the mothers, the eggs are not her own, so... no baby is being torn from their mom, just being returned to the original mother.
@Artoria Pendragon Women in poverty either end up as prostitutes or surrogate mothers. Please explain to me what 'free will' there is.
Deciding to end a pregnancy is a woman's right, no need to debate that.
This is so sad to watch 😭😭😭
Her body her choice. I donate sperm she donate embryos. Nothing to weep about
@Dawn Yae why are you being sexist?! I'm speaking facts! Since when I am a "man"! Did u just assume my gender?
@Dawn Yae Well the woman who chose the profession speaks at best. She/Him is over 18 and have the right mind to think what's best. This is equality.
@@noelakn that has nothing to do with the video.. a sperm isn't an embyo. An egg is not an embryo. Also in sperm is less valuable than a womans egg.
Surrogacy isn't a problem. The issue is how there are no clear boundries and laws that can protect these vulnerable women.
And if you watched this video, and any other documentaries on this topic, you'll realize its always in economically poor countries, where improvised women are coerced by family members or circumstance to sign up.
Edit: its not equality.. the social and economic background of these women and you, or these women and the paying parents are not "equal"
Exploiting the poor to use their womb for a measly amount of money, with no talks of post partum compensation if there are any psychological or phyical compensation is not "equality".
I doubt its even informed consent. I wonder if these women are even given knowledge of all the complications they may have afterwards.
@@winter7091 did u just degrade a sperm??
I'm from Georgia, and I gotta say this is definitely the only way some women can escape from poverty. Early marriages are high, and the minimum wage is only 2$ in an hour. Sadly, either that or prostitution is mostly the only way out for many women.
What is the point of having a bunch of kids if you're just hiring nannys to watch them anyway?!?!? You're getting all these kids, just to pay someone else to raise them??? WTF is the point?!! When they asked her why? And she said "why not?" I felt physically sick. Ugh. Disgusting. Disturbing.
To feed their ego, and for the instagram I guess.
How could that director of the surrogacy program not think a woman isnt emotionally connected to the child growing in their womb for 9 months?? Whether you hold them after birth or not, it would be heart breaking to give up a baby this way. And to leave a helpless newborn alone, who so desperately needs to be held and cuddled after birth, is so incredibly cruel. This is so sad to me.
They knew before they signed up
No sympathy for her not being able to connect with a baby she willingly chose to give up for a couple. But her being treated like crap in the hospital is wrong though.
The director 100% knew that the surrogates have an emotional attachment to the baby. Doesn’t take a body language expert to see how she was lying through her teeth as she said that they have no attachment.
@@agnesagyemang9133 go pound sand. Besides, the babies didn’t sign up for that.
Adoption is so much worse than surrogacy
I'm no medical professional by any means, but surely it was wrong for that male doctor / nurse to push down on the woman's abdomen when she was giving birth? I'm pretty sure that would cause the woman problems after birth.
The shoulder can get stuck behind the pubic bone so it’s sometimes done.
Called fundal pressure, helps push baby down when maternal contraction are deminished
Diminished*/reduced
L&D RN here. That technique is called fundal pressure and is not standard of practice at least in the States. I only knew 2 OBGYNs in my 7 years of practice known to do it. It can cause the uterus to invert (rare), bigger perineal lacerations, and even uterine rupture. It is definitely an archaic practice, along many other obstetric violence male doctors have done to women over the decades like twilight births, instrument births and more..
My mother was pregnant with me in France and the reason why she flew back home to Scotland to give birth was because of this crazy pushing the belly procedure she’d heard about, it happened to her sister in-law when she gave birth in France so it put my mum off. That was in the 90s.
felt really cathartic watching this!
My daughter gave birth to 18 children. They are not wealthy. However, those kids are very well raised with morals, ethics,education and loads of love. Very special.
All hers and the father's? No blended families, adoptions? Any multiples? That's a lot of kids. Takes a village to raise them. Not for everyone but I'm happy they have a good home.
This is about money, it's wrong u shouldn't be allowed to do this. 21 baby's at once more money than sense
@oana gabriela no one needs 21 babies
@Lucy says who if you can cater for them?
That poor little boy! He's going to have so many attachment issues from being abandoned for so long after his birth.
truly dystopian scene.
This is absolutely horrifying. Especially that first “ business woman”. How can a normal person even think about doing such a thing?! If you want to have a lot of kids - adopt one from another country, for example! There are so many children who desperately need to find a new home and mom. But she turned into a farm!!! It’s disgusting.
This is the future
