Surrogate moms emerge from shadows

China Daily | Updated: 2008-03-14 07:19

A young woman cradles her baby boy, born from a surrogate mother, and describes how she stuffed fabric in her clothes to fake pregnancy so her neighbors would not know, a sign of the stigma surrounding surrogacy in Japan.

The woman's own mother bore the baby for her daughter, who was unable to bear children because she had no uterus.

"The doctors said she should train for a profession, be a career woman and not think about marriage," the woman's mother, her face hidden, tells a TV program on surrogacy.
