In an upsetting turn of events, a surrogate mother has allegedly fled with twins she was carrying for a couple who has been trying to have a child for nearly two decades.
The incident, reported in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), has shocked many, as the couple had been waiting since 2006 for the birth of a child.
According to the post, the biological mother is now approaching 50 years of age and is reportedly struggling to cope with the emotional toll of the betrayal.
The surrogate, who was 34 weeks pregnant, vanished without a trace, leaving the couple devastated and heartbroken after years of hoping and waiting.
The situation has sparked widespread outrage, with people questioning the ethics surrounding surrogacy contracts, and how such a betrayal could happen.
Some commentators raised concerns about the unclear legal framework surrounding surrogacy in different countries, particularly Nigeria, where laws regarding surrogacy are still evolving.
Many also expressed sympathy for the biological mother, who now faces the unimaginable loss of not only the babies but also the years of emotional and physical investment she had in the surrogacy process.
This emotional rollercoaster has touched a nerve with online users, with many calling for thorough investigations into surrogacy practices and legal accountability for surrogate mothers who breach their contracts.
