RSS Parents TV Surrogacy Piece
Posted On 07/16/2009 15:58:25 by ParentsTVAnne

Hello all!  Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Anne Ebeling and I am a reporter/producer for Parents TV.  Our program is affiliated with Parents magazine (as well as American Baby & Family Circle) and we're available on Comcast Video on Demand and online (www.youtube.com/parentstv or www.parents.tv).  I just joined SurrogateCommunity.com today and am already learning so many new things about surrogacy!  As a producer for Parents TV, it's my job to make sure the parents who watch our show are informed about various topics pertaining to parenting.  That includes surrogacy. 

Next week, I have an interview with a representative from an agency that operates a very successful surrogacy program to find out how it all works.  But there's something vital that I am missing from this piece - the personal perspective.  I am looking for parents somewhere near New York City (NY/NJ/CT) that have had a child with the help of a surrogate and are willing to share their story on camera.  This is a straightforward, positive, informative piece and I would love for parents to really get an idea of how surrogacy works for families. 

Not only am I the reporter and the producer for my segments, I shoot all the video myself (which means no crew or anything like that - just me and the camera gear) and edit the video, as well.  If you fit the bill and are willing to share with other parents, please contact me: anne.ebeling@meredith.com.  If you know of anyone who might be interested, feel free to pass along my information.  Or, if you have a suggestion for me as to where I might find parents willing to share their story, let me know.

I look forward to getting to know you all in this wonderful community and hope you'll check out our pieces at www.youtube.com/parentstv.  Thanks!

We were scammed by ours.  Please include information about contracts written BY YOUR OWN ATTORNEY.  We have been terribly hurt by this, both monitarily and enotionally, bad enough I don't know if we can go foward with another surrogate. 


 You can validate our story by Googling Stacey Vallarta with the word surrogate or Munchausen By Proxy.  This will direct you to several alerts from various people.


The following information all deals with information people found on our surrogate.




Stacey Vallarta has scammed couples who were looking for a surrogate. She lies, takes the money and runs.
Stacey has been accused of harming her own children by Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. She no longer has them in her care. This woman is a dangerous woman who seeks attention and gets pleasure out of hurting others, telling lies and has a fixation with pregnancy, babies and child birth.
Stacey is extremely dangerous to children and she is very good at lying and manipulating people. You can find Stacey on surromomsonline.com where she currently has a bogus surrogate case going with a couple that got involved with her before they did their homework.

Her and [baby daddy #4] were having problems and started breaking up sometime around March. However she still lived with him.

Her parents, her mother especially, are SICK OF HER SHIT. In one e-mail her mother even said to her "Why couldn't you just go to school and get a good job, get off the baby train and live a normal life" (or something to that effect)
There was NO mention of her 1st husbands sperm (who wasn't her husband at all) nor the fact that she was pregnant with HIS twins. The whole thing was completely fabricated When her mother found out she was offering her eggs and womb on Surro sites, SHE FLIPPED, and knew it was going to end up bad
When Ss asked her mother for copies of texts because she was having issues with the IPs, her mother again chided her for getting involved with this, questioned whether she was pregnant at all (going back and forth with her as to why she couldn't tell her what the doctor said about the pregnancy - she didn't believe Ss either) and then stated "You Got Caught?" and later "You're going to try and keep it, aren't you?"
Her mom tells her over and over how much they love her and nothing's going to change that but they cannot take her shit anymore
She was posting to a Parents/Expectant Twins board and there claimed that Twin B died on 6/22 and Twin A a week before that. The 6/22 dod was also in her sig. Here it was 6/26 with Twin A passing TWO weeks prior
As early as 6/24 (two days before or two days after she "miscarried", depending which date you go by) she was answering ads to be a Surro again.
Her claims to Ms. Wasson that she no longer dealt with Surrogacy reps because they screwed her over on a "journey" and scared the IPs away is false. She never got that far. They dropped her because they did a background check, including a google search, and found the M-by-P stuff and dropped her. When she complained they stated that she was not truthful with them by not divulging in this and thus had voided her contract with them (they did fly her to California or somewhere for testing, on their dime). Her response? "You still owe me money"
She began negotiations with another couple just days after being outted here and had contact with them as recently as Wednesday. An e-mail was sent to this couple with the links found in this thread, to protect them from her.
Stacey Wasson (You Know Who) was not harrasing her in anyway - they had a great relationship as of December 2008 and things began to sour in March (around the time things were ending with [baby daddy # 4]) when she just started being outright c.u.n.t.y with them because they would not start forking over shitloads of cash


someone on another site google her and found this

Jackpot!
Lots of links in this post to look at. I deleted some names and phone numbers of others that were included in the post for the protection of some of the involved persons.

Posted December2008.

Stacey Vallarta was a previously registered member here on SMO under the name "dragonflz"

Due to many inconsistent stories, I got to Googling and found the following information on her. I want to say now that she has apparently done one or two surrogacy journeys already and at least one egg donation. If that is a lie, it's hard to say but that is what she said. She is wanting to be a TS again now though!

So, here is what I dug up:

1. She posted a thread on the TS forum with a link to a photo of a pregnancy test she took. The post is here. That post includes a link to her Photobucket and the account name is "airstajon73".


2. A simple Google search of "airstajon" (as "airstajon73" provided little info), reveals this: A listing of pet rescue organizations

And that page contains this info:
Boxdog Buddies
Crestwood , IL
Email: Airstajon@yahoo.com
Website: http://www.Boxdogbuddies.com



3. I then then Googled her phone number and came up with this: Boxweiler Rescues

And that page contains this info:
Box Dog Buddies
Contact: Stacey Vallarta
Crestwood Il 60445
Phone: XXXXXXXXXX
Web Site: http://BoxDogBuddies.com
We rescue Boxers from high kill shelters all over the United States.


4. I then took her first and last name to Google News Search and searched by all dates (link)

As you can see, these links pop up:

Other misc information:
~She has used the name Dace.
~She is 35 years old according to some sources, having live(d) in Joliet, IL., Crestwood, IL. among other places in IL.
~Her husband's name is XXXXXXX (may be her ex or soon to be ex).
~She is apparently a certified massage therapist
~There may be more that I found but I am drawing a blank. LOL.

i>Münchausen syndrome by proxy (MSbP), referred to in the DSM-IV-TR as Factitious Disorder by Proxy, is a disorder in which a person deliberately causes injury or illness to another person, usually to gain attention[1] or some other benefit.[2] Münchausen by proxy has been described by some as a form of extended child abuse[3].

The caregiver is usually a parent, guardian, or spouse, and the victim is usually a child or vulnerable adult. Most cases involve inducing physical illness, however it is also possible for a perpetrator to simulate or fabricate conditions that appear to be psychiatric or genetic problems.[

Mom seeking attention put baby at risk, officials say

Stacey Vallarta rushed her 4-month-old son to doctors for 10 emergency visits in 13 weeks this fall. The doctors ordered blood tests and inserted catheters, but could never find anything wrong with the otherwise thriving infant.

These unexplained emergencies might have been chalked up as overreactions by a doting mom. But when investigators who knew Vallarta's history with an older son discovered she had a new baby, the pattern suggested grave danger, according to court documents.

Nearly five years ago, a Will County Juvenile Court judge ruled that Vallarta of Joliet had systematically caused the debilitating illness of another son--a preschooler who spent so much time in the hospital, subjected to painful tests and surgeries, that his medical care cost more than $1.3 million.

The diagnosis was Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a severe and sustained form of child abuse in which a parent--almost always a mother--fakes or induces illness in a child to gain attention for herself. Vallarta permanently lost custody of that boy and his older brother, who were adopted by their maternal grandparents.

[snip]

Vallarta, 31, told the Tribune Wednesday she has never harmed her sons and will fight to regain custody of the baby.

"These allegations are outrageous," Vallarta said. "They keep bringing up the Munchausen thing ... but they never found anything. Yeah, I'm way overprotective. But all I did was love my kids."

[snip]

Will County State's Atty. Tina Brault said she doesn't know yet whether Vallarta mistreated the baby because the investigation is just starting.

But Brault said that to recommend permanent revocation of custody, the state needs to establish only "risk of harm," based on Vallarta's history and the new pattern of doctor's visits.

"I could prove the [neglect] case now just based on her past," Brault said. "In the first case, we were more reactive. Now, we can be more proactive. We can put these things together before bad things happen."

Brault first prosecuted Vallarta after doctors at Loyola Medical Center in Maywood reported her in 1999 for poisoning her son, then 3, with ipecac, a medicine used to induce vomiting.

Brault said she also wanted to pursue a criminal abuse case against Vallarta, but her supervisor decided against it.

Munchausen--identified in 1977 by a British pediatrician and named after an 18th Century baron who was an inveterate liar--remains a rare and complicated illness to diagnose. Many doctors are loathe to diagnose it, in part because the mothers appear so likable and devoted to their children, but also because it highlights the doctors' inadvertent role in the abuse: ordering invasive tests and performing unnecessary surgeries.

Vallarta's public defenders argued the boy's illnesses were real. But they could not explain why the boy's condition improved so dramatically after he left his mother's home.

Drastic improvement

In 1999, the boy was so sick he was being fed through a stomach tube. Vallarta shopped for coffins at a Joliet funeral home.

By the time Vallarta went to trial in 2000, the child was thriving in his grandparents' care, eating normally, gaining weight and not taking any medicines. The boy now is a healthy, active 8-year-old, authorities said.

The problem with abuse in Munchausen by proxy cases, experts say, is that the mothers rarely admit wrongdoing and often repeat the offense, even when it's likely they will get caught.

[last snip]

Things `didn't add up'

Cradling his 16-pound son in his arms at his Southwest Side home Wednesday, [the baby's father Steve] Coyne said he was shocked when he read the details of Vallarta's first case, because the pattern was similar what was happening to his boy.

Every week or so Vallarta would call with some new medical emergency--fever, diarrhea, vomiting--that required a trip to the doctor's office, hospital and even three trips to a chiropractor.

"A lot of things just didn't add up, and now it all makes sense," said Coyne, 33.

Vallarta blames the arguments with Coyne for her recent troubles. She said the two often disagreed about their son's care, and she denies she took him to the doctor too often.

Vallarta, who has worked on and off as a waitress, said she's changed. She is more religious, has had counseling and is devoted to her baby.

"I didn't do anything to deserve what I'm getting. It's like I'm guilty until I'm proven more guilty," she said. "I won't even be allowed to give him a Christmas present. I will fight for him until the day I die. All I know is I love my son more than anything and he belongs to me."

Thanks for keeping her info on the forefront. As time goes by sometimes this sort of thing sort of "disappears" into the archives. Many newbie IPs don't always know what to look for either so I'm glad to see this.
