More and more wealthy Chinese citizens are having surrogate mothers from the United States give birth to their children.

There are a variety of reasons why this is happening, and it has become so popular that there are agencies to help Chinese couples find the best way to go about it.

Using a surrogate mother to have a child is illegal in China, so the black market for surrogacy is dangerous, and the infertility rate has risen to 12 point 5 percent of childbearing age Chinese citizens.

There are other countries that have surrogacy programs, but the US reportedly has a better healthcare system.

Most families in China are only allowed to have one child, but having one of their children born in the United States is a way for them to get around the 1979 family planning one child policy.

US residency is another big plus. Once their US born child turns 21, they can apply for residency for their parents.

Additionally, many pregnant Chinese woman are travelling to the US to give birth in order to obtain US citizenship for their children.
