Summary: Kim Surratt is back! If you missed it, go back to Episode 31 to hear her background and some majorly impressive feats. In this episode we hear the drama-filled story of how Kim played a significant role in taking down a criminal “surrogacy” baby-selling ring. Listen as Kim discusses the details of a scary and horrifying case involving corrupt attorneys, a California “agency,” duped women “surrogates” in several states…oh, and the FBI: • Rematching in surrogacy — but when the “surrogate” is already pregnant (say, what?!). • Sending women off to the Ukraine to a fertility clinic to get pregnant but with whose genes? No one knows. • The vague surrogacy laws at that time in CA and NV that made it difficult to prove what they were doing was illegal (even though it was clearly unethical). • An attorney administering medication…yes, an attorney (who was not, by the way, also a doctor). • A minimum of 13 known women who came back from the Ukraine and were essentially tricked into have the baby they were carrying sold to the highest bidder. • FBI, wiretapping and some really awesome spy stuff. • The charges - illegal administering of medication, illegal “surrogacy,” trafficking women out of the country and selling babies. • Plus, Kim’s tips on finding a GOOD, reputable surrogacy agency.
