Children born through surrogates stranded
POUNGCHOMPOO PRASERT
THE NATION

BANGKOK: -- SOME 50 children born through Thai surrogates for Israeli couples have remained in Thailand since late last year due to an issue over their travel documents.

Thathree Chaowachata, chief of the Foreign Ministry's Department of Consular Affairs' Legalisation and Naturalisation Division, said these cases included homosexual couples.

Speaking at a Bangkok seminar, Thathree said the parents had applied for the children to leave the country using Israeli travel documents.

However, after consultation with police, he said it was to be determined if using a Thai as a surrogate who was not a blood relative fell within the frame of human trafficking.

Natthajak Patamasingh na Ayudhya, the Office of the Attorney-General's International Affairs Department executive, said interpreting the law in this case would take a long time, so the ruling junta should urgently consider the matter.

He said the Social Development and Human Security Ministry's draft legislation for the protection of children born through the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) was currently being considered by the Council of State.

The bill would require ART procedures to be completed by a certified doctor, not be advertised commercially and the child must be guaranteed a good future.

Natthajak said that without this bill, people would use legal loopholes to benefit from the surrogacy business, which would lead to more social problems.

The Medical Council of Thailand will meet in mid-August to review its regulation for ART service standards in a bid to prevent abuses such as illegal surrogacy or embryo sex selection.

Council president Dr Somsak Lohlekha said the body would amend the law so it is clearer in the banning of ART for homosexuals and single women, and the banning of egg-donation advertisements.

Somsak said under the law only a spouse's blood relative, who has at least one child, can be a donor.

Couple abandons baby born to surrogate.

 

 

An Australian couple has abandoned a Down syndrome baby born to a surrogate mother in Thailand — and now there is a race against time to save him from dying in abject poverty.

 

Pattharamon Janbua, 21, said she was offered $11,700 by a Bangkok surrogacy agent to be a surrogate mother for an unnamed Australian couple who could not conceive a baby, Fairfax Media reports.

Actually this story is worse as they took the childs twin and left the other behind because the child had down syndrome. Absolutely appalling behaviour - and what happens in years to come if that child finds out what his parents did - wow

How could you best describe these lowlifes?

Unfortunately the only  way to describe them adequately would get you banned from TV.

The problem in this one Chooka is that twins were born and they brought the good one back to OZ , left the down syndrome child in Thailand , mongrel S!!!ts.

Surrogacy is a perfect example of the 'ME CULTURE' in action. 

Name and shame the agency - the parents 

Then you have the ones abandoned simply because they were not quite right.

No it doesn't, that was clearly reported in the link from the OP if you bothered to read it.

and what would have happened if this hadn't become news and no support poured in ?

I agree that this is human trafficking.

Once the babies are certified and taxed by the government, then it is humanitarian trade.

With the Australian incident these children may be stranded indefinitely as they have now changed the laws.
