Custody of what is believed to be the first baby in Britain borne by a surrogate mother for pay was awarded to the couple who contracted for her. British High Court Justice John Brimsmead Latey said the baby girl, born Jan. 4 to a 28-year-old London woman, has been taken from Britain by the couple, whom he declined to identify. However, British news media said the two are Americans. Health Minister Kenneth Clarke said the government will decide in the next week or two whether to take action to outlaw what he called “commercial surrogacy.”
