Gammy was reportedly abandoned by his Australian birth
parents, but Thai authorities are going to the source of the surrogacy,
investigating the Bangkok
clinic allegedly responsible for the surrogacy services, reports the Bangkok Post.
Currently
there are no concrete laws or established precedent to guide cases involving Thai surrogacy. A Thai Ministry
of Public Health official, quoted by the Bangkok Post, said that commercial

Gammy

to the Bangkok Post. Gammy remained in the care of his surrogate mother,
21-year-old Pattaramon Chanbua.
