Couple's heartache over surrogacy

A
childless couple have been speaking for the first time
about their heartache after being conned by a West
Yorkshire woman's internet surrogacy scam.
Sharon and Peter Robinson-Hudson were desperate for a
child of their own but unable to conceive, and prevented
from adopting because Peter was over 40.
So, after seeing Moira Greenslade's advert on an
American surrogacy website, they struck a £5,000 deal
with her.
Greenslade, from Keighley, could be facing jail after
admitting trying to sell her unborn baby to three
different couples. This week she pleaded guilty to the
scam and breaking adoption laws and could now be facing
a jail sentence.
Sharon said : "I've got a physical pain that I want a
child and that's why we started looking. She used to
tell me about the baby kicking. I'd love it to happen to
me and I was so desperate for a baby and she didn't want
this baby, she said. She told us we would be wonderful
parents for Katie, as we named her. We did everything
and I just believed her, I believed everything she told
me."
Greenslade gave birth to a baby girl in December at a
hospital in Southampton. The child was immediately taken
into care.
Sharon and Peter are now calling for stricter
regulations on surrogacy to prevent others going through
the same heartache they have suffered.
