Additional Compensation
While Jessica received a total of $30,000 for her selfless decision, the couple decided to add an additional $5,000 to the monthly amount they were paying Jessica as compensation for the unexpected development. This was a fair coverage of what was going to become a far more trying pregnancy. The additional expenses would make perfect sense considering the nature of Jessica’s help. The surrogacy went as expected right up until the delivery of the twins.
Something Was Amiss
Jessica delivered the twins via a C-section on the 12th of December in 2016. While Jessica was unable to get a glimpse of the newborns as there was a screen separating them during the operation, the expectant mom visited her later that evening and showed her a photo of the newborn twins. But there was one concerning detail. It was clear that the twins were clearly not identical as one clearly inherited Chinese features, the other twin did not.
