I am interested in what conclusions everyone has drawn from this. I don't think Guojan wanted to sell the children. An argument is made in the article by someone that says that G&S paid for all medical expenses plus the surrogate payments. About 150K per child.

It seems to me he just wanted a lot of kids and had the financial means to acquire them. He was biological father to over 20 kids in that house.

I’m trying to figure that out too and am super interested in what you all think. My immediate thought is like a modern version of Georgian Tan style human trafficking but the expenses don’t make sense. I hope there is some form of journal that might give insight into their motivations.
