Thailand bans surrogate babies from leaving ? Japan Today: Japan News and Discussion
"CANBERRA, Australia
Four couples from the United States and Australia have been prevented from leaving Thailand with surrogate babies as part of a government crackdown on the burgeoning commercial surrogacy industry, an Australian broadcaster reported Friday.
The crackdown follows recent publicity over a Thai surrogate mother who said she was left with a baby rejected by his Australian biological parents after he was born with Down syndrome. "
Reminds me of an incident a few years back when an American couple 'returned' the Russian baby they had supposedly just adopted when the child seemed like too much trouble for them. Not long after, Russia passed laws restricting foreign adoption - which had been a thriving 'business' to that point.
