Ghana surrogacy dispute involving Judith Kidith Serwaa Ampaafo Appiah

In a story that's sending shockwaves across social media and sparking heated debates in Accra and beyond, a young woman has allegedly disappeared with a newborn baby following a surrogacy arrangement gone wrong. The case involves Judith Kidith Serwaa Ampaafo Appiah, who reportedly entered into a commercial surrogacy deal with a couple based in Germany.

According to multiple reports circulating online (including from Ghana Chronicles and local pages like Crime Check TV GH), Judith was contracted to carry and deliver the child for the intending parents. In exchange, she received a substantial payment of GH¢100,000, along with additional perks to ensure her comfort throughout the pregnancy:

  • A rented apartment
  • Monthly allowances
  • Feeding and nutritional support
  • Even a tricycle business to help sustain her

The agreement included signed legal documents where she consented to hand over the baby after birth.

The drama reached a climax when Judith delivered the child at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra. Instead of following through with the plan, she reportedly left the facility with the infant and went off the grid.

The German-based couple has made repeated attempts to contact her, but most efforts have failed. In the rare instances they've gotten through, sources claim she refused to release the baby, reportedly telling them something along the lines of, "Do you think I am stupid and naive?" while directing harsh words at them.

This isn't just a contract dispute—it's touching on deep emotional, ethical, and legal questions.
