In this "baby-selling" ring, "surrogates-for-hire" are paid for their pregnancies, and then the infants are sold to prospective parents before birth. The would-be surrogates are sent to the Ukraine to receive embryo transfers. Once their second trimester is reached, the fetus they are carrying is sold to prospective parents by American attorneys, who claim that a prior surrogacy agreement had fallen through, and that the fetus is now available for "adoption" by another parent.

In essence, these are baby factories focused on using the bodies of poor women to give birth to infants and generate profit.
