Shelly Baker Keeps Surrogate Twins on Dr Phil Show

by Rayven
(Information on Surrogacy)

The Dr Phil Show did two segments on the Michigan case of Shelly Baker, a surrogate mother who kept the surrogate twins she delivered for Amy and Scott Kehoe, because she felt that the intended mother had mental issues that put the babies in danger.

Here is the first Dr Phil episode:
Am I the Only One?

And the follow-up, where Shelly returns to face critics:
Surrogate Mom Faces Her Critics

Think about the children!
by: Anonymous

I wonder how the babies will handle this when they grow up. Just think about adopted children, almost all adobted children wants to know/be with their biological parents. Shelly is not handling in the babies best intressts, just her own.

Just to clarify.....
by: Rayven from Information on Surrogacy

....Just to clarify, the intended parents were not the biological parents of the twins. They used both an egg donor AND a sperm donor (which is pretty rare).

KIDNAPPER
by: Anonymous

This woman HYJACKED these babies!!! She is a kidnapper and deserves to go to prison. It is not her right, nor her responsibility, to evaluate the parental competence of the BIOLOGICAL parents. She is a self-righteous criminal and I am APPALLED that nothing has been done legally to help the parents of these twins. They belong with their mother and father, NOT with a couple that are only too selfish to do the right thing. The bio mom's "mental illness" should not even be entered into conversation, as it, again, is none of the surrogates concern. Her JOB as a surrogate was to CARRY THE BABIES for someone who was unfortunately unable to do so. This whole thing appalls me.

Where is the law to protect these children?
by: Marie

Those babies do not belong to Shelly and she needs to give them back to their parents along with all the monies payed to her for their grief. If there was some concern, she should have done her own research before she agreed to being a carrier. There are many people out there that have made mistakes (take Bush for example, a former drug user) and turned their lives around.

I feel for those parents whos children have been stolen from them by this woman after 10 years of trying to conceive, only to have someone, w/o any kind of medical degree or education, to determine she is unfit.

RETURN THOSE CHILDREN TO THEIR RIGHTFUL PARENTS!!

Agree with surrogate
by: Anonymous

I agree that the surrogate was trying to keep the babies safe. Why did the intended parents not tell her about her mental condition? Wow she has kids already and now has to have twins unexpectatly. what a brave woman. Intended parents needed to have been more forthcoming. IMO. Psychosis is very serious!!! wow.
