Newspaper reports note significant secrecy surrounding surrogacy. For example, surrogate mothers are reported to "hide away" for the duration of their pregnancy or move to neighboring towns. (See for example, http://www.africareview.com/Special-Reports/Surrogacy-in-Kenya-gains-pace/-/979182/1322482/-/d5ajxe/-/index.html.)
