It is illegal in Spain, but legal in California
Six Spanish couples will report to U.S. courts to a surrogacy agency for fraud ... between 90,000 to $ 130,000 each and without a baby in arms.
What is illegal in Spain and legal in California has made them all in an alleged scam, a disappointment that has led them to certain bankruptcy, others, many months of tears and a rage for organized revenge. "Finally I was able to bring all the couples to the lawyer I hired who lodged the complaint in U.S." Carol (false name as request), one of the Spanish who sought for descendant and hired a local attorney to prepare the demand with the victims here. His name is Dean Masserman and he has been in Barcelona and Madrid this week to finish outlining the legal complaint that will complete the Beverly Hills Police, the Los Angeles and the FBI, who initiated an investigation.
The target is set on Rosa Balcázar, director of Bcoming fertility treatments agency, located in Los Angeles. "Balcázar signed some contracts with couples committed to providing services and kept all the money without satisfying them," said Masserman. The lawyer is also leading eight other foreign couples and five professionals has also allegedly cheated -Bcoming’s director charged Spanish couples twice or more than its own fee.
"Their services cost were $ 50,000, but would charge between 90,000 and 130,000. The difference was for doctors, clinics or insurance companies, but she kept it all. In fact, one of these companies has denounced her. And she has now disappeared. "
Balcazar told “ El Mundo” newspaper a few weeks ago that couples were "angry" because the women recruited did not became pregnant. "They wanted me to return all the money, but it's impossible. I have to pay a lot in the process and it can not be recovered.
Couples allegedly cheated reveal that Balcazar offer's to dissolved the contract. "But we're not stupid. This means an award of $ 50,000 for her, who has only gave us delaid, problems and discussions," says Carol, the only one so far agrees to talk.
Examples of nuclear action happens. The partner of a surrogate mother tested positive for HIV, which, over the social stigma suffered by infected, "We should have been warned. In another case, Balcazar offered a couple six mothers and finished them off without explanation and several applicants suffered a break in the process of embryo transfer because the clinics said they had not received even a dollar.
The president of the National Association for infertility problems, Maria Jose Galindo also wants to join in the complaint. "Balcázar convinced us to recommend her agency and we did, until we discovered how she treated surrogate mothers and some couples. My experience was to see depressed, damaged and sick women that thier partners never knew. I saw no guarantees in the process .
And to that adventure / misadventure is what thousands of Spanish men and women stands to each year in countries where subrogation pregnancy is legal. In Spain the law prohibits a woman give her uterus to an infertile couple, to a gay duo, a barrier that some scientists and lawyers are calling for overthrow.
But until that day, -Health has no date for changing the law, the Spanish women who can not beget life in her womb by the uterus seeks in half of the world, risking to experience processes such as these six couples, who ask about their confidentiality identities and geographic locations.
