"Surrogacy in India: police remove a boy from his biological mother to take him to his intended parents"

Gènéthique

A 4-year-old boy in India was found by the police and taken to his biological father's family, where he met his twin brother. Both brothers were born in 2015, to a surrogate mother who was also their biological mother. When they were born, the mother said one of the two babies had died during labour and the sponsoring parents only received one of the two boys (see India: a surrogate mother hides the existence of a twin from the sponsors).
