Investigators seized the woman's computer from her home in Limburg, Belgium. Her husband also is being questioned.
The woman allegedly agreed to carry the baby for a Flemish couple, who have requested a DNA test to prove the man is the baby girl's biological father. A Dutch couple, however, have started adoption proceedings and say they have no intention of giving up the child.
