A woman who acted as a surrogate mom for a couple from China accidently gave the couple her own flesh and blood child, and was almost forced to pay to adopt him back.

Jessica Allen, 31, was already a mother of two at the time she became a surrogate mom. She thought that the embryo that was implanted in her had split naturally into twins. She had no idea that a second embryo was developing in her womb, and that it was of her own flesh and blood, the New York Post reported.
