Surrogacy podcast with Rayyin & Partners, Beijing

Thursday, May 18, 2017


Last week I had the joy of taking part with a Chinese colleague, Hao Wang in a podcast about surrogacy.  Hao is a partner in RayYin & Partners, a prominent Beijing law firm.  Hao specialises in family law matters (including children and property) including overseas trust planning.  She has spoken and been published widely concerning family law and trust law.
It was quite extraordinary to attend at her office in Beijing and then to take part in a podcast to talk about surrogacy.  Hao introduced me in Chinese.  During the introduction the only words I understood were surrogacy and Stephen Page.  We then participated in a long interview in which I gave an overview about surrogacy and international egg and sperm donation including that available to Chinese citizens, and then we had the wrap up thank you – again in Chinese and again the only words I understood were surrogacy and Stephen Page!  
One of Hao’s interns will have the joyful task of translating my words into Chinese characters, a task which is somewhat difficult given some of the necessarily technical terms that are involved with surrogacy.  It was an honour and a privilege to take part in the podcast.

Australian Overseas Surrogacy Births Hit Record High Again in 2026 — Here’s Where Families Are Going

Another record year for overseas surrogacy births For every child born through surrogacy in Australia, five are born overseas. Despite laws allowing altruistic surrogacy, the shortage of available surrogates within Australia has meant that the norm is to undertake surrogacy overseas, and the exception is to do so at home. A record 416 Australian children… Read More »Australian Overseas Surrogacy Births Hit Record High Again in 2026 — Here’s Where Families Are Going

Surrogacy Statistics Australia: Why Families Go Overseas

Surrogacy statistics: why so many go overseas

Surrogacy is intensely personal, but the numbers tell an important story about how difficult it can be for intended parents in Australia. The central statistic is striking: for every child born in Australia through surrogacy, about four are born overseas. That is not a small difference. It points to a system in which many intended… Read More »Surrogacy statistics: why so many go overseas
