or whether the surrogate shares half its genes with the child.

The Australian prime minister has said that he would like to intervene on behalf of the surrogate - ie allow her to move to Australia. I certainly hope that that is the case, it is a very sad story all round.

The suggestion now is to only allow blood relatives to be surrogates - that would tend to prevent the biological parents from abandoning a child as was the case here.
