"There are… many needy females in India," says Patel. "The food, shelter, clothing and medicine, healthcare is not free for all in India. People have to fend for themselves."
I saw my son, but then they took him straight away

Patel says she encourages the women to use their earnings wisely. Vasanti and her husband are building a new home.
"The house I live in at the moment is a rented house, this one will be much better," says Ashok.
"My parents will be pleased that their son and his wife have managed to build a house. Our status in society will go up, which will be a good thing."
But the new house comes at a price. It will not be built in the same area as their old one, because of hostility from neighbours.
"If you are at home then everyone knows that we are doing surrogacy, that this is a test tube baby, and they use bad language. So then we can't stay there safely," says Vasanti.

As she nears her due date, Vasanti becomes more anxious about the birth.
"I don't know anything about whether my couple will come and take my baby straight away, or if it will stay with me for 10, 15 days, 20 days. I might not even get to see it," she says.
Vasanti is moved to hospital and after a protracted labour, Patel decides to give her a caesarean section.
It's a boy - usually a cause for celebration in India, but Vasanti is concerned that the Japanese couple had originally wanted a girl.
The baby is taken directly to a neonatal hospital where his parents will be able to collect him and take him to Japan.
Vasanti is tearful as she remembers the moment she caught a glimpse of him.
"I saw him when I had my caesarean. I saw my son, but then they took him straight away. I must have seen him for five seconds, so I saw that he was living.
"The couple wanted a girl and it's a boy. It's good whether it's a boy or a girl. She's got a child at least."
As the tiny baby boy she has carried for the past nine months starts his new life, Vasanti is beginning hers. She lives in her new house with her family and her children attend an English-speaking school.
"My children are growing day by day and we want a good future," says Vasanti.
"That's why we [did] this, and not in my entire life do I want my daughter to be a surrogate mother."
