JAIPUR: Giving a ray of hope to Manji, the Japanese baby born to an Indian surrogate mother, authorities on Saturday issued a birth certificate to her enhancing the prospects of the 16-day-old’s return to her homeland.

The certificate, with Manji’s father Dr. Ikufumi Yamada’s name on it, will hasten the process of securing a temporary passport for the baby from the Japanese embassy, facilitating her trip back to Japan, said Sanjay Arya, Director of Arya Hospital, where the baby is admitted.

The baby got caught in a legal wrangle after she was delivered by her surrogate mother in Anand, Gujarat, on July 25. Her father Dr. Yamada got separated with his wife Yuki before the baby’s birth and Yuki subsequently disowned the child.

The child’s grandmother Emiko Yamada is in the hospital to look after the baby.

The wife of Kamal Vijaywargiya, a friend of Dr. Yamada, who also gave birth to a baby girl on Tuesday, has come forward to breastfeed Manji. — PTI
