A 13-day-old girl may become India’s first surrogacy orphan after the Japanese couple who paid for her to be conceived divorced just weeks before she was born, leaving her in legal limbo.
The baby, who has been named Manji and is being kept in hospital after falling ill, faces an uncertain future after her Indian surrogate mother and the Japanese woman who had planned to adopt her refused to take her.
Her biological father, who wants to keep the baby, has not been allowed to take her out of the country because of laws banning single men from adopting girls.
Lawyers said that the case highlighted the need for legislation to regulate surrogate pregnancies in India amid fears that the rent-a-womb industry in the country is out of control.
Poor little twerp. Hopefully, she’ll get past the legalese and have a chance at something passing for a normal life.
I would have thought a “mandatory” adoption would have taken place upon pregnancy – – BUT – – in a country that won’t let a biological father adopt his own kid===who knows?
A good example of why abortion should be allowed until the kid can vote.
I am from India. The state where the kid is in, does not have any afro-american women. That photo is a fake.
Mate, if you have to steal photos from other places, might I suggest that you steal one from an authentic source? Instead of taking any east Asian kids photo and putting it up here.
Jax—That is the photo which appears with the original article in the Times Mirror. If you want to blame someone for stealing an inauthentic photo, start there.
The biggest surprise in this story is that it hasn’t happened before in India. The rent-a-uterus industry is thriving there. I feel sorry for the baby and the father. If she had been born a boy, there would be no problem. And what is it with a biological father having to adopt his own kid?
LOL, you know there are no black women in Jaipur? That woman doesn’t even look black, but instead is a dark skinned Indian. Not only that, there are albinos there too as well as white skinned ones.
Great…babies as commodities…
“Can I get the Apple iBaby in 2020?” – “Conceived in California, gestated in China”. -Now in Red, Yellow, and White-.
Of course the Microsoft “Zaby” would be from India…
PS. sorry for the bad taste humor…but, this news is kinda bad taste also…(not the news, but the practice…)
Well… crazy thought:
The biological father goes to India, marries the mother, take both back to Japan. After a while, gets a divorce(or not…), and keeps the child.
That nurse looks South Asian to me, like the ones I’ve seen in Sri Lanka.
Does anyone read the articles? The mother isn’t helping. The father can’t manage it by himself.
Just call Angelina Jolie or Madonna and be done with it. It would at least give us a new harlot for 2030.
India seems to very consistently not allow “tissue” to be removed from its country.
At the link, they won’t allow dead vultures to leave their country either.
Must be some kind of Karmic link to the country of birth sort of thing?

This is to all the US morons out there who think all Indian women have to wear the hijab and we hang gays. The latest in the story is that the government has asked the grandparents of the kid to come forward and adopt the kid lawfully since they are the closest relatives.
twerp?
Does she oeu you money?
Give you a dirty look?
Get Madonna on the horn.
Where are all the Anti-Choicers? Why aren’t they running to India to adopt this little bundle of joy? What? Because he is dark skinned and doesn’t have blue eyes or blond hair he isn’t as desirable?
