Hearing the one-year old toddler Binbin mumbling “papa,” Jiang Ning (pseudonym) experienced mixed feelings.
Jiang has never told anyone about the birth of his son. Though he and his wife are Binbin's parents, the baby was carried by a surrogate mother -- a white American woman who Jiang paid for the service.
Such surrogate mothers have another person's embryo transplanted into their womb and later give birth to the child.
Jiang paid around US$300,000 for the service. Surrogacy is illegal in China and the average cost can vary between US$100,000 to US$300,000 in the U.S, which is a considerable burden for an average Chinese family. It is considered a privilege of the wealthy.
"We have had an average of four to five Chinese customers every month over the last couple of years," an employee of the China office of an American surrogacy agency told China's Legal Weekend.
There is an increasing demand for American surrogate mothers among the rich Chinese, including business people and celebrities in the entertainment industry.

At least there will be some American jobs after Obama ‘s done “transforming” us.
Sick to the pit of my stomach here.
Is there no low too low for America these days?
I guess we’ve gotten that answer.
How many “so called Christians” voted for the President that voted for partial birth abortion?
How many voters are even aware of this history, or did the then Senator not know them anything about what he voted for?
‘So called’ is operative here. The mass of them would ignore anything Jesus said they disagreed with, especially if it seemed ‘intolerant’. But it’s been said by wiser men than myself that tolerance and apathy are the chief virtues of a dying society, or something like that.
