The Journal’s investigation into the wild west of the fertility industry continues, this time from an intended parent’s perspective. Ryan Knutson speaks with AnnaMaria Gallozzi, who wanted to have a child through surrogacy after a cancer diagnosis. Gallozzi and her husband set aside a large sum of money, but they lost it all when the escrow company entrusted with that cash defrauded them. WSJ’s Ben Foldy walks us through the complicated legal battle, and reveals how a lack of oversight has exposed hopeful parents to fraud.  Further Listening: - Fertility Inc.: When the Surrogate Gets Left With the Bill - The Mystery of the Mansion Filled With Surrogate Children Sign up for WSJ’s free What’s News newsletter.

  • This may be a difficult thing to articulate, but why did you want to have kids so badly?

  • Do you ever feel like there is more of yourself to give, more to love,

  • more to explain, and there's just this constant want and need to give more?

  • I have felt that since I met my husband.

  • When Anna Maria Galazzi met her husband, she says the topic of kids came up immediately.

  • On our very first date, we went to a Capitals hockey game.

  • And our first conversation after the hockey game was, so do you want kids?

  • So we knew immediately where we laid with kids, what we thought we wanted to parent like,

  • how we wanted to raise them, what religion, all of that.

  • We kind of fleshed out on our first date.

  • How many kids did you and your husband think you wanted?

  • So he has always been like, the perfect family is 2.5 kids.

  • What is a 0.5 kid?

  • Is that a dog?

  • What is a 0.5 kid?

  • And I'm Italian Catholic.

  • I wanted as many kids as my body would give me.

  • Really?

  • I was ready to go the distance.

  • Six, seven, eight, let's go for it?
