Overwhelmed by Orlando

Monday, June 13, 2016

I, like many of us, am overwhelmed by the senseless loss of life in a hate crime against LGBTI people in Orlando. People who were just out partying. As a friend of mine said, people like me. 

I quickly found out that a friend and colleague who lives near there is safe and well. 
Another dear friend and colleague who lives there – I don’t know if he is alive or dead. He is not responding to my messages. I hope he is OK. 
My thoughts and prayers are going to the friends and families cut down in yet the latest massacre in the US, of people again targeted by hate. I cannot imagine the grief that you are going through. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. 
Tomorrow, Tuesday, at 6pm I will be joining others at a candlelight vigil at Reddacliff Place at Brisbane Square.

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
