Twenty-one children are in the custody of a California child-welfare agency while authorities investigate a Los Angeles-area couple and whether they misled surrogate mothers around the country.
Fifteen children were removed from the couple’s opulent home in Arcadia after an abuse allegation in May, and another six living elsewhere were also located, Arcadia police Lt. Kollin Cieadlo said. They range in age from 2 months to 13 years, with most between 1 and 3.
“We believe one or two were born biologically to the mother,” he said. “There are some surrogates who have come forward and said they were surrogates for the children.”
Silvia Zhang, 38, and Guojun Xuan, 65, are believed to be the legal parents, Cieadlo said.
They were arrested in May after a hospital reported that their 2-month-old infant had a traumatic head injury, the result of a nanny at the home violently shaking the baby, Arcadia police said. The child was not taken to the hospital for another two days.
Cieadlo said neglect charges were not formally pursued in order for an investigation to continue. The couple told police that they “wanted a large family,” the lieutenant said.
Zhang produced what appeared to be legitimate birth certificates, including some from outside California, that list her as the mother of the children, Cieadlo said.
He said the FBI is also part of the investigation. A spokesperson declined to comment when reached Wednesday by The Associated Press.
“I’m not familiar with how the surrogacy laws work,” Cieadlo said. “We need to do a much deeper dive.”
TV stations in Los Angeles quoted women who said they were surrogate mothers for the couple but that they didn’t realize so many other surrogates were also involved.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Zhang and Xuan had a lawyer who could speak...

Was the Chinese couple taking welfare payments for all these children? I wouldn’t be surprised if they were gaming the system. Filthy stinking leaches should be executed. /spit
Some are down right weird.
Could be but unlikely.
Silvia Zhang, 38, and Guojun Xuan, 65,
This is what happens when you have a wide open border, look what the cat dragged in and they got 21 kids to probably sell to the highest bidder or used them to get freebies from the Govt
I guarantee you those 21 kids were getting freebies from the Govt..that was the whole point milk the system for all its worth
That is exactly what I was thinking.
How much tax credits, ssdi, snap and welfare can you get for 21 kids for 18 years each??
They had at least one nanny and were able to pay surrogates so they are not hard up.
Reading the article may be against tradition but it can be enlightening.
Crazy story, and the Chicoms are definitely involved.
... English.
/Chinese baby farm for creating “instant Chinese” (er, American) citizens (er, spies).
Additional children do not get you additional benefits. There is a cap and 22 is way, way, way over the cap.
So they have something else going on or she is the baby version of a crazy cat lady.
“Business records with the California Secretary of State show a company called Mark Surrogacy Investment LLC was previously registered at the couple’s address. The most recent filing shows the business license was terminated in June.”
Smells like trafficking.
Zhang and Xuan / Chinese baby farm creating “instant Chinese” (er, American) citizens (er, spies)...........
You got that right.........and the sob’s finance the Chinese scheme with our tax dollars.
If mainland ccp chinese, follow the money.
Where there is two or more of ccp mainland chinese gathered together there is theft and graft..........
It’s ingrained in their minds, their bodies, culturally, intellectually and by government decree.
Actually there is no cap on number of children you can have on welfare.
Sad but true
Look it up.
Depends on the state and the program. Blue stares have tended to remove the 90’s era caps.
There in cap on the number of children. There is a cap on the total dollar amount. Once you hit maximun, additional kids won’t increase it.
