Surrogate carries twins for Chinese couple -- one turns out to be her OWN baby--Chinese couple wants

$22,000 to give her baby back.

Originally, the surrogate agreed to go through a pregnancy and have a baby for the Chinese couple for $35K. Eventually it was discovered that there were two babies, believed to be twins. After the babies went to China, the adopting couple realized the half-black baby wasn't theirs. They threatened to put the baby up for adoption if the surrogate wouldn't pay $22K for him.

What a nightmare.

A surrogate mother who carried twins and unknowingly gave birth to her own, biological son at the same time as a surrogate child says the Chinese couple who paid her for the pregnancy wanted $22,000 to give back her infant once they realized the mistake.

Jessica Allen and her husband now have full custody of their son Malachi, but are deep in debt and furious with the surrogacy agency, Omega Family Global. Allen says she will never be a surrogate again.

Allen, 31, tells PEOPLE that she gave birth to what she believed were identical twin boys in December 2016 as a surrogate for a Chinese couple. The babies were quickly whisked away to be with their legal parents before Allen had a chance to look at them — despite, Allen says, a contractual agreement that she’d be able to spend an hour with the two children she had brought into the world.

However, she noticed something strange when she saw a photo of the newborn babies later that night.
