Update on the German Twins born in India:
"The German twins born in 2008 to a surrogate in India are finally headed home. The last hurdle for the twins and their father Jan Balaz was cleared on Wednesday and with that the Supreme Court recommended that the central government enact legislation to take care of surrogacy issues so that something like this does not happen again. The vacation bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justices G.S. Singhvi and C.K. Prasad wished the family 'good luck'."

In addition:
"The twins were cleared for travel after Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam informed the court that the ministry of external affairs had already issued the 'exit permit' for the twins. Although the twins are leaving India, they have yet to acquire German citizenship, which could be another hurdle for the family. The big hiccup is that the German government does not recognize surrogacy as a means of parenthood because surrogacy is illegal in Germany."
