Another wonderful example of "if the child isn't perfect, the child is disposable".

And I agree with Vcamp about contracting for babies. ${#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}$

Fathers egg and he is being checked out now by his country because he has a record for child abuse. If it's true the surragate mother has said she will take the baby girl back and raise her, too. He is 56 or so and says that it's not true.

Good grief, what a mess.

I would NEVER be arrogant enough to judge anyone in this situation. Some can, some can't. Doesn't make it right or wrong.

Agreed, not everyone is equipped to parent a special needs child.

What an awful mess. So it wasn't the Australian woman's egg? It sounded like the Thai woman is the actual bio mother, I'm glad she's getting donations to help raise the child. That kind of money will go a long way in Thailand.

I hope there are no extenuating problems for the boy, like heart trouble. I hope he has a wonderful life with the mother who loves him.

VCamp..... what a sad way to think about this..... many couples want children so badly.... and they use a surrogate .... it has been a win/win situation for many people.

I agree, game-on.

I don't think there's any area of life, any group of people, that doesn't have a few rotten apples.

People get upset when buyers only want pedigreed dogs...

Yet they think it's A-OK to contract with a woman in a foreign country, pay her for her eggs and then reject one of the children because it's not "perfect."

How miserable can people get?

There are plenty of already born children ready and waiting to be adopted. Maybe even some right there in Thailand. I bet they can even take an adoptable child for testing - to make sure they are getting a healthy child.

But no - the dad needed his own precious genes in the child...but it had better be perfect to boot!

Surrogate and gestational carriers aren't new and it's always been by contract.

Adopting a baby is also by contract.

I'm missing what the issue with that is.

Then perhaps they shouldn't have had any children because that is the chance you take.

Perhaps adopting a perfect child would have been the better route for them.
