Can A Chinese Celebrity Really Just Abandon Her Surrogate-Born Babies?

And Zheng Shuang is not the first celebrity -- or intended parent -- to be in this situation either.

Excerpt - “The latest surrogacy scandal is that of a Chinese celebrity who was accused by her ex-boyfriend of abandoning their two U.S.-born, surrogate-born children. The Chinese actress, Zheng Shuang, had been romantically partnered with Chinese TV producer Zhang Heng for the past few years. Last week, Zhang revealed on Weibo (like Chinese Instagram) that he has been stuck in the United States for the past year caring for the couple’s two children, who Zheng abandoned. He posted images of the babies’ birth certificates — one born in Colorado in December 2019, the other born in Nevada in January 2020, each with “Shuang Zheng” named as mother and “Heng Zhang” named as father.”
