Turning Her Experience Into A Cautionary Tale
Allen has previously mentioned that she does not want to become a surrogate mother again after this experience. However, she has no regrets. “[My husband and I] weren’t planning to expand our family so soon, but we treasure Malachi with all our hearts. I don’t regret becoming a surrogate mom because that would mean regretting my son. I just hope other women considering surrogacy can learn from my story. And that a greater good will come out of this nightmare,” she told the New York Post. Don’t go thinking that it was a happily ever after for the family just yet, however.

Who Were The Victims?
After people got wind of the incredible story, there were people who felt like the Chinese couple had been the actual victims of the terrible situation. One commenter explained this side by saying, “To comprehend this story, we must also see it from the parents’ side. I can say that virtually no one turns to surrogacy before suffering a tremendous amount of heartache — miscarriages, stillbirths, failed IVFs, failed adoptions, emergency hysterectomies, etc. And because it costs tens of thousands of dollars, no one approaches surrogacy lightly.”
