In a world running out of babies, new life now carries a price.

For Thai women working as surrogate mothers for strangers, that price is around $15,000. With exclusive access, our reporters go inside the surrogacy supply chain, linking childless people - many from China - with Thai mothers in Georgia.

This investigative special explores the physical and emotional impacts of carrying someone else's child for money, far from home.
