"A Canadian couple is suing the surrogate who carried their 2-year-old son after she refused their request to terminate the pregnancy over a cleft lip and possible minor heart defect. They didn't get the perfect child they wanted and they threw me away, she said. The couple agreed to continue the pregnancy after Mount Sinai Hospital doctors determined the baby was generally healthy."
A Canadian same-sex couple is suing their surrogate for $600,000 after she refused to abort their child at 22 weeks due to a cleft lip diagnosis. The surrogate maintained the child was healthy and the condition was treatable. After taking the child home, the couple cut contact with the surrogate and sued when she pursued $10,000 in unpaid pregnancy expenses.
