CBS News · world

A surrogate carrying a child for Chinese billionaire Xu Bo, reportedly father to over 100 children, stated she trusted her agency to protect surrogates. Patriot Conceptions, a California-based agency, and its CEO are now facing increased scrutiny over their business practices. Stanford University's Hoover Institution cut ties with CEO Haotian Bai after a CBS investigation highlighted potential loopholes and questionable practices in the commercial surrogacy industry. Bai's military service record is also under review, with the Army confirming his service but clarifying he had no deployments.
