Making Adjustments
Besides the additional expenses, Jessica received $30,000 for being a surrogate. When the couple learned about the twins, an additional $5,000 was added to her monthly paycheck. Things went on smoothly, that is, until the delivery date.
Something Was Off About The Babies
On December 12, 2016, Jessica underwent a C-section after 38 weeks and delivered two babies. She was not able to look at them since there was an opaque screen between her and the babies, who were taken away immediately after their birth. However, she did get the chance to see them the same night since the intended mother went to Jessica’s room and brought her a picture of the babies. Jessica told People, “One looked full Chinese, the other didn’t look full Chinese. It was clear that they were not identical… but I didn’t ask questions.”
