Australian authorities found that there was no evidence to suggest Farnell ever attempted to access the funds set aside for Gammy. Additionally, it was found Farnell and Li had attempted to bring Gammy home, but the surrogate mother initially had objections and had intended to adopt Gammy without Farnell and Li, so they had left Gammy behind in a mix-up of cultural and language barriers. It was ruled Pipah is not allowed to be alone with David Farnell and the agreement that she must be read a photobook with age-appropriate language every three months for the foreseeable future that explains her father's offenses. Gammy was later granted Australian citizenship on Janbua's application on the basis that Gammy's biological father David Farnell was Australian. David Farnell died in July 2020, reportedly from an asbestos-related illness.
