一位为中国亿万富翁徐波代孕的母亲表示，她信任自己所在的代孕机构“保护代孕者”。如今，总部位于加利福尼亚州的“爱国者生育”（Patriot Conceptions）公司及其CEO的商业行为正面临新的审查。据悉，徐波被报道拥有超过100个子女。
该公司CEO白浩天曾是斯坦福大学胡佛研究所的研究员，就在CBS《周日早间》栏目播出关于这位代孕母亲的调查报道、曝光商业代孕行业存在的漏洞和可疑行为指控后不久，胡佛研究所于上周与其断绝了合作关系。随后，《纽约邮报》也报道了白浩天的背景。
“白浩天先生已不再隶属于胡佛研究所，”该研究所在其网站上表示，“鉴于近期的媒体报道，很明显白先生就其业务性质误导了研究所。”
在2024至2025学年的研究员任期内，白浩天的研究主题是退伍军人获取体外受精服务的渠道。他经常宣传自己的代孕机构是由退伍军人创立的。
白浩天在2019年与前商业伙伴的纠纷案件中提交的法庭声明中称，他曾于2017年前在美国陆军阿富汗服役，并被诊断出患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。
美国陆军发言人向CBS新闻证实，白浩天于2013年11月至2017年10月期间担任化学作战专家。不过陆军方面表示，尽管他曾协助准备部署的部队，但他本人从未被部署过。
“他从未执行过部署任务，并以专家军衔退伍。”美国陆军发言人克里斯托弗·萨里奇说道。
退伍后，白浩天于2018年联合创立了另一家代孕机构，并在一年后与联合创始人陷入法律纠纷。该案后来被自愿撤销。白浩天于2019年创立了“爱国者生育”。
胡佛研究所表示，将对“退伍军人研究员项目”的申请流程进行“全面内部审查”。CBS新闻联系了“爱国者生育”，白浩天在书面回复中称，他“2023年以美国陆军退伍军人的身份通过正常申请流程申请了胡佛研究所的研究员职位，并通过了他们看似常规的渠道和程序，最终当选研究员”。声明还称，“白浩天先生从未在任何时候就其研究或意图误导胡佛研究所”。
白浩天的代孕机构以国际客户为主要服务对象，这类客户占其业务量的40%，其中重点服务来自中国的意向父母。
美国是唯一一个商业代孕广泛合法的发达国家，吸引了在本国无法开展代孕的外国公民，其中很大一部分来自中国。
目前尚不清楚“爱国者生育”最初是如何同意为徐波代孕的。徐波是一名电子游戏行业高管，在中国国内知名度较高。“爱国者生育”与一家为这位意向父亲服务的全球代孕机构建立了合作。
CBS新闻为保护其身份，将这位代孕母亲称为朱迪。朱迪表示，她从家乡州前往加州进行胚胎移植的前一晚，才得知意向父母的身份。
CBS新闻获取的文件显示，这位意向父亲正是徐波，他曾在网上炫耀自己想要生育大量子女的想法。
朱迪是一位单身母亲，她表示自己选择成为代孕母亲是希望用报酬为自己和女儿创造更好的生活。她还说，自己也乐于帮助他人组建家庭，但补充道，她从未想过对方的家庭会如此庞大。
“你根本不会想到去问……‘哦，他们是不是已经有超过100个孩子了？’”她在采访中说道。
在早前与CBS新闻的一次电话通话中，白浩天询问朱迪的代孕记录是否在暗网被售卖。CBS新闻是从担忧代孕行业违规行为的举报人处获取的这些记录。
在通话中，白浩天对媒体报道的徐波家族规模不予理会。
徐波是一位深居简出的亿万富翁，极少公开露面。他作为中国最大的移动游戏公司之一广州多益网络的创始人积累了巨额财富。《华尔街日报》最先报道了徐波通过代孕生育子女的数量，以及其他中国亿万富翁组建超大家庭的情况。
徐波的公司在去年12月的一份声明中称，徐波通过代孕在美国生育了12个子女，但承认实际总人数更多：“关于子女数量的传言……实际数量仅略多于100个。”

六个月后，徐波发布了一张幼童整齐就座的照片，并配文：“徐波先生信奉多子多福的理念，希望自己的一言一行都能有益于中华民族的长远发展。”
CBS新闻通过直接联系和通过代表联系徐波，但均未收到回复。
徐波在近期的一份声明中回应媒体报道时写道：“此前海外媒体对中国产生了诸多误解和不友好的报道，作为一名维护中国利益的中国公民，徐波与中国政府立场一致，除非必要，否则不会接受海外媒体的采访。”
在CBS新闻9月13日的报道发布后，“爱国者生育”表示，在去年12月有关徐波家族规模的公开报道浮出水面后，公司员工曾劝说朱迪终止代孕合同。
“爱国者生育”发表的一份声明称，“该机构此前并不了解后续公开报道中提及的徐波家族的更大规模”。该机构拒绝接受电视采访。
朱迪对此说法提出异议，称该机构“从未”建议她终止协议。她表示，4月胚胎移植后，机构代表曾前往她的酒店房间，给她带去“鲜花和零食”。
朱迪说，在匹配成功后，机构告诉她，意向父母是一位“想要扩大家庭规模的单身父亲”。
“我当时觉得我信任这家机构，相信它会保护代孕者，为她们匹配有善意的人。”朱迪说道。
朱迪说，当机构提到一个大家庭时，她脑海里想到的是电影里的场景。
“《音乐之声》，你知道那部电影吗？我当时第一反应是，‘哦，那会很可爱’，比如一个有10个孩子的家庭。”她说。
U.S. surrogate for Chinese billionaire says she trusted agency to “protect surrogates” amid questions surrounding its CEO

A surrogate carrying a child for Chinese billionaire Xu Bo — a man reported to have over 100 children — said she trusted her agency to “protect surrogates.” Now, the business practices of California-based Patriot Conceptions and its CEO are facing fresh scrutiny.
Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, where the company’s CEO Haotian Bai formerly served as a fellow, cut ties with him last week, shortly after a CBS Sunday Morning investigation featuring the surrogate put a spotlight on loopholes and accusations of questionable practices in the commercial surrogacy industry. A subsequent story in the New York Post looked at Bai’s background.
“He is no longer affiliated with the Hoover Institution,” the institution said on its website. “In light of recent media reports, it is clear that Mr. Bai misled the Institution on the nature of his businesses.”
During his 2024-25 fellowship, Bai focused on veterans’ access to in vitro fertilization. He frequently advertises his surrogacy agency as veteran-founded.
Bai said in a 2019 court declaration, filed in a dispute with a former business partner, that he served in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan until 2017 and that he’d been diagnosed with PTSD.
A U.S. Army spokesperson confirmed to CBS News that Bai served as a chemical operations specialist from November 2013 to October 2017 . However, the Army said that while he assisted with units that were preparing to deploy, he never deployed himself.
“He had no deployments and left the Army in the rank of specialist,” said Christopher Surridge, a U.S. Army spokesperson.
After leaving the military, Bai co-founded another surrogacy agency in 2018. He ended up in a court battle with his co-founder a year later. The case was later voluntarily dismissed. Bai founded Patriot Conceptions in 2019
The Hoover Institution said it would conduct “a full internal review” of the application process for the Veteran Fellowship Program. CBS News reached out to Patriot Conceptions,and in a written response, Bai said he went through “a normal application process as a U.S. Army veteran for a Hoover Institution fellowship in 2023 and was selected through what appeared to be their usual channels and protocols to be a fellow.” The statement said there was “no point at which Mr Bai ‘misled’ the Hoover Institution about his research or his intentions.”
Bai’s surrogacy agency caters to international clients, who make up 40% of its business — with an emphasis on intended parents from China.
The U.S. is the only developed country where commercial surrogacy is widely legal, attracting foreign nationals who don’t have the option in their country, with a large percentage coming from China.
It remains unclear how Patriot Conceptions initially agreed to provide a surrogate for Xu Bo, a video game executive who is well known in China. Patriot Conceptions partnered with a global surrogacy agency representing the intended father.
The surrogate, whom CBS News is calling Judy to protect her identity, said she first learned who the intended parent was on the night before her embryo transfer in April, after traveling from her home state to California for the procedure.
Documents obtained by CBS News showed that the intended father was Xu, who has boasted online about his desire to father large numbers of children.
A single mother, Judy said she decided to become a surrogate because she wanted to use the payment to create a better life for herself and her daughter. She said she also liked the idea of helping someone build a family — but added that she never imagined it would be that large.
“You don’t think to ask … ‘Oh, do they have, like, over 100 babies already?’” she said in an interview.
In an earlier phone conversation with CBS News, Bai asked whether Judy’s surrogacy records had been offered for sale on the dark web. CBS News obtained the records from whistleblowers concerned about irregularities in the surrogacy industry.
During the call, Bai dismissed media reports detailing the scale of Xu’s family.
Xu, a reclusive billionaire who is rarely seen in public, made his fortune as founder of Guangzhou Duoyi Network, one of China’s largest mobile game companies. The Wall Street Journal first reported on the number of children Xu is said to have fathered via surrogacy, as well as other Chinese billionaires building mega-families.
His company said in a December statement that Xu had 12 children born in the U.S. via surrogates, but acknowledged a larger overall total: “Regarding the rumors about the number of children … the actual number is only a little over one hundred.”

Six months later, Xu posted a photo of young children seated in rows alongside a statement: “Mr. Xu Bo believes in the philosophy that more children bring more blessings, and he wishes for all his words and actions to benefit the long-term development of the Chinese nation.”
CBS News reached out to Xu directly and through representatives but received no response.
Addressing media coverage in a recent statement, Xu wrote: “Overseas media outlets have previously produced numerous misinterpretations and unfriendly reports about China, as a Chinese citizen safeguarding China’s interests, Xu stands on the same side as the Chinese government and avoids granting interviews to overseas media unless necessary.”
Following the publication of the CBS News report on Sept. 13, Patriot Conceptions said the firm’s employees had encouraged Judy to terminate her contract after public reports about the size of Xu’s family surfaced in December.
A statement issued by Patriot Conceptions stated that “it did not know the wider scale of Xu’s family described in later public reporting.” Patriot Conceptions declined to be interviewed on camera.
Judy disputed this account, stating that the agency “never” advised her to terminate the agreement. She said agency representatives visited her hotel room following her embryo transfer in April to bring her “flowers and snacks.”
Judy said the agency told her after she matched that the intended parent was a “single father looking to expand their family.”
“I felt like I trusted this agency to kind of protect surrogates and match them with people with good intentions,” Judy said.
Judy said when the agency mentioned a large family, she was picturing something from a movie.
“‘[The] Sound of Music.’ Do you know that movie? My immediate first thought, ‘Oh, that would be really cute,’ like a family of 10 kids,” she said.
