The US citizens were said to have first engaged Biotexcom, a company providing surrogacy services, in about 2015 when Etnyre was aged 36 and his wife was 59. "As the result of publication of the matters complained of, the applicants have been subjected to hatred, ridicule and contempt, and have suffered and continue to suffer, distress and damage to their reputations,” according to their statement of claim.

The utter selfishness of buying a baby at 59. Fuck that. And no, I don’t care about the contempt you received - you abandoned a disabled child in a country that has limited resources to help disabled children. A child who will now have attachment issues. Not to mention you buying a likely impoverished woman’s uterus and exposing her to the risks and trauma of pregnancy, childbirth and losing one child to still birth and one to surrogacy.

They did engage Biotexcom for a second time and in 2017 were told a surrogate had given birth to twin boys, who now live with them in the USA.

FUCK THAT. You don’t get to buy a baby just because you missed the boat on your fertile window. You’re in your sixties!!

Seriously, Even if they have money for Nannies, having a kid at that age is selfish. I'm in my late 30s, and I feel too old to be raising kids!

And even if they didn't want Brizzi, they could have brought her to the USA and put her in an institution. It would have still been an evil and shitty thing to do. But at least she wouldn't be a stateless ghost in a struggling, war torn country

Thank God she got adopted. Because its terrifying to imagine what life would have been like for her as a disabled adult with no legal citizenship anywhere in a country ravaged by war. Its appalling that the people who intentionally brought her into existence didn't give a damn about any of that. They left her to rot. And then they purchased two more kids like it was nothing.

Ukraine should ban surrogacy outright. But if they're going to keep it, they need to fix that citizenship issue for kids like Brizzi who get abandoned there by their buyers
