What kind of 24 year old ‘businessman’ has the money to sponsor 9 babies?
Creepy to consider, but what if he was “farming” them for later adoption?
Thanks for the link Eliahna.
I just watched it then, but this, oh this a thousand times over. That bloke has so much skeeve oozing out of his pores, I swear some of them came through the TV screen and dripped onto me.
Ewww.
If he were an actor, he’d be typecast as a paedophile/rapist/flasher.
That’s my take on it. A baby farm. and there are a lot of young wealthy Japanese businessmen. I see quite a few of them here.
As for the Aussie couple and the Thai surrogate, it’s difficult to know whom to believe. Having lived in Thailand for so long, I find it perfectly plausible that the surrogate mother could have decided to keep the Down’s syndrome baby as a source of funding. This story just gets weirder and weirder.
I think the only reason they didn’t take “Grammy” is that he’s a boy.
Considering the amount of sleeze,are they going to be allowed to keep the child? What is the law there?
They are being investigated to make sure their daughter is safe with them. Given that he has apparently raised three other children to adulthood without molesting them, I imagine they will keep tabs on the family but allow them to keep their daughter.
I don’t see how you can conclude they left Gammy because he’s a boy. Do you believe they’d have taken a daughter with Down Syndrome? It’s not outside the realm of possibility, of course, but gender selection is listed as an option in Thai surrogacy arrangements (cite: Surrogacy By Country - familiesthrusurrogacy.com), and it’s an option they clearly didn’t take. I can believe they abandoned him because he had special needs without gender coming in to it at all.
The legitimate reason for abortion is a woman having a right to her own body. She has a right to not let her body be used to incubate a child she doesn’t want. With surrogacy, she no longer has that legitimate reason.
I’m not saying they have to raise the child, but he did belong to them, and it is their responsibility to make sure there is someone to care for him. And they should be on the hook financially for his care, just like any other biological parent would be.
Only if fathers can opt out of child support because they wanted the baby to be aborted would it make sense that the couple can opt out. Not that I support a father doing this, because, again, the legitimate reason for abortion is a woman’s right to her own body. It is NOT the ability to choose not to have a baby. That is a side effect.
(Note, I’m completely disregarding their inconsistent stories and assuming they knew about both children.)
Now they’ve identified 15 babies that the Japanese guy has fathered. Interpol was warned about him last year.
And reports are the authorities are now preventing surrogate babies from leaving the country and have started raiding and shutting down unlicensed clinics.
And now that Japanese guy has four children in Cambodia that they’ve found. Quite the entrepreneur.
Talk about balls! Now that Japanese guy is asking that all 15 babies he fathered by surrogate mothers here in Thailand be sent to him in Japan.
I think that we had already established that he does indeed have balls. 
Hello to all. In this matter, you should not so sharply condemn. We do not know, maybe they have long collected money for the happiness of having a child and there are twins, and even one will demand all their attention and more than an ordinary child and it will be throughout life. Perhaps in the family, they already had such an experience and they are simply not ready for it, because this is a great work that often remains without praise and carries a huge financial burden. It is possible that they either did not know about such a probability, or there were some problems before the birth of children, or maybe they even thought that the probability was 10% or less - they decided to take a chance, but they fell into this miserable 10 %… Do not blame them, the act is not good, but if you had the choice to choose a healthy child or a patient, who would you choose? Understanding that the entire burden will go to you and you, perhaps not capable of it, give up a healthy child? Perhaps the reason for which they offered abortion of the second child is this because in Thailand the standard of living is much lower (especially than in Australia), hence the quality of the “services” is also particularly in rural areas. You should not condemn people without seeing everything through their eyes. As far as I know, large companies that provide such services https://adonis-ivf.com/surrogacy/ are doing everything to avoid such situations and provide only quality services. I recommend that if you want to start a child, find out your family tree and analyze possible pathologies, prepare yourself morally and financially. I wish you all good, healthy and strong families.

I followed the Baby M surrogacy trail quite closely, it happening in my own neck of the woods. Surrogate (genetic) mother claimed “If the tests showed the baby had one missing fingers, I had to abort or the Sterns (genetic father & wife) cold walk away.” No, the contract stated if the Sterns asked her to have an abortion and she didn’t, she agreed not to pursue any legal action if they walked away
That was the one part of the contract that the first court did not uphold. They stated that the decision to have or not have an abortion lies solely with the pregnant woman.
