Feel sorry for the kid. This was bound to happen (and probably has more times than we've heard about).

So is one woman a "donor" or was the other woman a "surrogate"?

You know, it occurs to me, they should let Hollywood write the ending to this.

They've been encouraging stuff like this for years and their TV dramas generally hand-wave this stuff away, as if to say, oh, it won't be a problem, we'll all be reasonable and besides that one is evil and will die in 23 minutes anyway.

My use of the word "surrogate" reminded on one show where they went to court because the surrogate changed her mind and wanted to abort the baby. The judge at first cited "roe v wade" and was challenged by the contract that the woman voluntarily entered into, followed by a half hour of "gripping drama" and then they hand-waved the whole thing citing "roe v wade" again.

Both! That's what makes this such a crazy story. The reporter, obviously, had a time making it clear, thus comments like " The partner is unrelated to the child, but gave birth to her"
