FULL TITLE: Surrogacy agent claims baby Gammy’s Australian parents ‘haven’t paid a cent’ towards Down syndrome baby, who they wanted to dump outside a temple after being told abortion wasn’t an option
Baby Gammy's Australian parents have allegedly paid nothing towards supporting their unwanted child they left abandoned in Thailand nine months ago.
American agent Antonia Frattaroli, who handled the surrogacy, claims David and Wendy Farnell 'havent paid a cent' since instructing the agent to abandon Gammy outside a temple or ophanage when they were told it couldn't be aborted.
Mr Frattaroli said the Farnells agreed to a $2000 lump some and a monthly allowance to help with the biological mother's costs of caring for her Down syndrome baby.
The new light surrounding the surrogacy saga comes following revelations that baby Gammy was offered to another couple, Kim and Brendan Cross, who themselves had been struggling to conceive a child for years and had turned to Thai surrogacy officials for help.
he Cross's were clients of Thailand Surrogacy for two years when they received an email from the company asking if they wanted Gammy, according to the ABC's 7.30 program.
'The email asked us if we wanted the baby ourselves. My assumption of why I was asked or why we were asked is because of the fact that we had been through this clinic for two years and without a successful pregnancy and maybe they thought this was an easy option for us to take this child instead of continuing on our path to have our own biological child.
