She Was Ready to Have Her 15th Child. Then Came the Felony Charges

File this one under "Forced Paternity". Excerpt:

'MaryBeth Lewis was shopping for groceries at her local Walmart in suburban Buffalo when she got the word: Her surrogate had just been induced. She rushed home and packed a bag for her new twins — a book for baby footprints, matching outfits and beanies and blankets embroidered with their names. Then she jumped back in the car and raced down Interstate 390 to a small hospital 130 miles away in a rural corner of the state.

When MaryBeth arrived at the maternity ward, she found her surrogate in a recovery room, tired but happy after a quick delivery. She asked to see the twins, and a nurse went to go find them. But before she returned, a different woman dressed in scrubs appeared and got in MaryBeth’s face. “What you did was terrible,” the woman said. “You will never see these babies.” MaryBeth tried to talk to her, but the woman refused to listen. A voice over the loudspeaker announced that visiting hours were over. “And that means you,” the woman said.'
