How did US woman became surrogate for Chinese billionaire Xu Bo? Here's all we know about the surrogacy network

A US woman, known as "Judy" for her privacy, became the surrogate for Chinese billionaire Xu Bo after finding a surrogacy advertisement on Instagram. She was promised a payment of $120,000, which seemed like an opportunity to build a better life for herself and her daughter. However, Judy later discovered that she was connected to Xu Bo, who is accused of fathering numerous children through US surrogacy arrangements.

She expressed her concerns about the transparency of the process, questioning if the intended parents provided enough information to the surrogates. Xu Bo, a video game executive with a history of having many children through surrogacy, has denied these claims. The US commercial surrogacy industry is largely unregulated, leaving vulnerable women unaware of important details before entering agreements.

Critics argue that the industry's lack of regulation allows women to be exploited without proper safeguards.
