A British surrogate mother of twins has said the intended mother rejected one of the babies because she was born with a disability.
The intended mother, also British, is said to have taken the healthy boy, but refused to accept his twin sister because she has a severe muscular condition called Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy.
“I’ll never forget what she said on the phone,” the surrogate mother, known only as Jenny, told The Sun. “I remember her saying to me, ‘She’d be a f****** dribbling cabbage! Who would want to adopt her? No one would want to adopt a disabled child’.
“I was shocked.”
Jenny and her partner Mark signed a surrogacy deal with the intended parents in return for £12,000 expenses.
Two embryos were implanted into Jenny’s womb and a few weeks later she learnt she was carrying twins.
The girl’s disability was diagnosed after Jenny had given birth.
