The woman, who is apparently the biological mother of the fetus that was fertilized in another woman's womb at Assuta Hospital, stated this evening (Friday), referring for the first time to the case in the Friday studio - "If it is indeed our fetus, we will not give it up."

She shared her feelings, "I've been unconscious for two weeks, devastated, collapsed, unable to function, just from the thought that this could be my baby."

The partner of the pregnant woman with the fetus that is not hers also commented on the case this week, and said that they intend to keep the baby and raise her after she is born, despite the defects that came up in the tests during the pregnancy.

"We don't even hesitate or think about any other position on the issue," said A.

"We said in a second that this girl is ours."

Traditionally, in questions discussing adoption, Israeli courts prefer not to conduct a parentage test and give priority to the birth mother.

However, in this case the judges will be required to give a moral and value decision.

At the moment the court is procrastinating, to examine the legal meanings and consequences of any scenario that arises.

It is likely that eventually an order will be obtained ordering a paternity test for the couple who are apparently the biological parents of the fetus, but in the scenario that such an order is not received - the parentage will pass to the surrogate mother.

In addition, in such a case the biological parents will be able to appeal the decision.

If after the tests there is a match - the issue will become legal, and each party will have to decide in front of their lawyers if they will claim the baby and how they want to do it.

If both couples want a baby, the court will be required to decide on the matter, and until the decision is made, the baby will be under the permission and responsibility of the birth mother.

If the court decides that the birth mother will be considered the mother of the baby, an adoption order will probably be needed, compared to the biological parents who will not be required for this type of order.
