One of the most famous situations in which a surrogate mother wanted to keep the baby was the Baby M case. ... Whitehead was given $10,000 and was expected to surrender her own parental rights with the birth of the baby. ... Whitehead agreed to these conditions; however, once she saw the baby in the delivery room she saw that she could never give her up.
Within 24 hours of having handed the baby over to the Sterns, Mrs. Whitehead was begging to be allowed to keep the baby for at least a week, which the Sterns agreed to. ... Whitehead then refused to return the baby, and a legal battle started. ... Whitehead was to have no further contact with either the baby or the couple. ... ” At the time of the Baby M case, most states had no precedent on how to deal with surrogacy cases. ... However, not all surrogacy cases ended with the couple happily receiving their baby and the surrogate mother, satisfied with having helped her fellow human beings, taking her fee and ending all ties with the child.
