(The Post Millennial)—Six women have come forward claiming that they all carried children through surrogacy for a Chinese couple in California that was revealed recently to have 21 children, 17 of whom are under the age of three.
Perla, 31, of Florida, told KTLA that she had been told Guojun Xuan, 65, and Silvia Zhang, 38, of Arcadia, were seeking a sibling for their only child due to infertility issues. She later found out that she was one of multiple women told similar stories.
Xuan and Zhang were arrested in May on suspicion of child endangerment and neglect after a two-month-old baby under their care was brought into a local hospital with a traumatic brain injury. They were released, and charges have not been filed. A warrant is out for the arrest of their nanny, Chunmei Li, who investigators say is the main suspect in the child abuse case.
Perla had gone into pre-term labor and spent a month in the hospital, ultimately delivering a stillborn baby on June 3. She said that the couple had delayed critical paperwork and were unresponsive when complications arose during the pregnancy. The couple did not come to the hospital for the birth or take responsibility for the child’s remains, she said.
“I think what hurt me the most was that I feel like the baby was abandoned—and I was too,” Perla said.
