Cambodia’s surrogate mothers go free after agreeing to raise Chinese children but some see it as a mixed blessing

• Cambodia banned commercial surrogacy in 2016, and police in June raided two flats where Sophea and 31 other surrogate mothers were being cared for in Phnom Penh
• They were charged the following month with violating human-trafficking laws, but authorities released them on bail last week, under the condition they raise the children themselves
