Turning Her Experience Into A Cautionary Tale
Allen noted that after this experience, she wouldn’t want to work as a surrogate ever again, but she has no regrets about it. “[My husband and I] weren’t planning to expand our family so soon, but we treasure Malachi with all our hearts. I don’t regret becoming a surrogate mom because that would mean regretting my son. I just hope other women considering surrogacy can learn from my story. And that a greater good will come out of this nightmare,” she said to the New York Post. Still, it wasn’t completely a happy ending for them.

Who Were The Victims?
After the unfortunate story was published, readers pointed out that the Chinese couple who paid for the surrogacy were actually victims of what transpired. According to one commentator, “To comprehend this story, we must also see it from the parents’ side. I can say that virtually no one turns to surrogacy before suffering a tremendous amount of heartache — miscarriages, stillbirths, failed IVFs, failed adoptions, emergency hysterectomies, etc. And because it costs tens of thousands of dollars, no one approaches surrogacy lightly.”
