Episode description
Kris talks to Rach and Dene about international surrogacy laws for gay, lesbian and infertile couples looking to become parents.
We chat about:
- commercial versus altruistic surrogacy
- recent changes in the laws impacting Australians looking for surrogates overseas
- hybrid surrogacy programs operating across Cypress and the United States of America
- birth certificates and citizenship of children born to international surrogates
- nationality of surrogate, rather than nationality of the egg donor
- the costs of commercial surrogacy arrangements overseas.
