The Young and the Restless spoilers document that Devon Hamilton’s (Bryton James) emotions pushed him to change his mind. He now believes that regular access to his biological child is best for Chabs’ son.
The verbal agreement between Devon, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes), Abby Newman Abbott Chancellor (Melissa Ordway), and Chance Chancellor (as then played by Donny Boaz) was informal.
The longtime friendship between Devon and Abby implied that no disagreements were possible. But, as viewers are seeing, the joint assumption was naive.

It felt soapy when Abby and Mariah became fast friends before the Chabs’ wedding. Mariah’s presence was a setup. It enabled her to become the surrogate.
The resulting contrast between how Abby is responding to Mariah’s bond with Dom and Devon’s affection for the newborn is stark.
Yes, Abby’s genetics combined with Devon’s, but the role Mariah played was infinitely important.
Plus, Mariah endured solitary confinement for an extended period through the day of Dom’s birth.
Ben Stitch Rayburn’s obsession with Abby caused him to target Mariah, not Devon. Grimes’ character was the poor soul in the kidnapping scenario.
Abby’s sympathy for Mariah has generally evaporated after the birth and when Chance (as now played by Conner Floyd) returned home.

Devon and Mariah knew that they were making significant sacrifices so that Chance and Abby could become parents.
The donor and the surrogate openly stated their support for Abby and Chance on many occasions. However, natural emotions affected them deeply during the pregnancy and since Dom’s birth.
