KnockoutJs binding list option selects with option groups

I am trying to bind an select with optgroup similar to this question

KnockoutJS - Binding value of select with optgroup and javascript objects

The difference is that there may be one or more selects on the page. So I have something like this.

<script>

var services = ko.observableArray([
    { serviceId: 1 }, { serviceId: 2 }
]);

var servicesList = ko.observableArray([
    { Name: "Group 1", Services: [
        { Id: 1, Name: "One" },
        { Id: 2, Name: "Two" }
    ]},
    { Name: "Group 2", Services: [
        { Id: 3, Name: "Three" }
    ]}
]);

</script>

<div class="form-group" data-bind="foreach: services">
    <label for="ServiceId" class="control-label col-md-2">Service</label>
    <div class="col-md-10">
        <select id="ServiceId" name="ServiceId" class="form-control" data-bind="foreach: servicesList, value: serviceId">
            <optgroup data-bind="attr: {label: Name}, foreach: Services">
                <option data-bind="text: Name, option: Id"></option>
            </optgroup>
        </select>
    </div>
</div>

The problem is the value for each of the selects is not selected.

serviceId is used as value in selectList so it should be observable and servicesList should be used with parent context.

    //make observable to keep track selected value
    self.services = ko.observableArray([{
       serviceId: ko.observable(1)
     }, {
      serviceId: ko.observable(2)
    }]);


    //$parent.servicesList
    <select id="ServiceId" name="ServiceId" class="form-control" data-bind="foreach: $parent.servicesList, value: serviceId">
        <optgroup data-bind="attr: {label: Name}, foreach: Services">
            <option data-bind="text: Name,value:Id, option: Id"></option>
        </optgroup>
    </select>
