Police Rescue 15 Toddlers from Mansion of Couple Suspected of Operating Surrogacy Baby Mill

The story became increasingly complex after police arrived at the couple's home and discovered the 15 babies and toddlers. Authorities soon determined that most if not all were born to multiple surrogates who had been misled into thinking that they had helped a couple dealing with infertility who desperately wanted a child.

(California) — [LifeSiteNews.com] A California couple is suspected of running a surrogacy scam and possible human trafficking ring after police found 15 toddlers—age two months to three years old—in their luxurious Arcadia mansion. All of the children are believed to be genetically linked to the couple but born via surrogates from around the country. (Image: Pixabay)

The Daily Mail called the operation a "baby surrogate-fueled human trafficking ring," and an ABC news correspondent said the home had been a "baby factory."  

The couple, Silvia Zhang, 38, and Guojun Xuan, 65, were arrested and charged with felony child endangerment and neglect in May after a hospital informed local authorities that the couple's two-month-old had sustained a traumatic head injury.

Video surveillance footage obtained from the home showed one of the couple's nannies violently shaking and hitting the infant. The nanny suspected of the abuse, 56-year-old Chunmei Li, is still on the loose and being sought by police.

All of the toddlers plus six more children belonging to the couple, ranging up to age 13, have been placed with the Department of Children and Family Services.

Investigators also found that Mark Surrogacy Investment LLC, the firm facilitating the third-party births, is registered to Zhang and Xuan.

While the couple's motives for producing so many children remains unclear, their story highlights the fact that the lack of regulation in the burgeoning surrogacy industry places kids born through third party reproduction at risk... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
