Amazing things happened today…

First thing this morning, in the mail came a small parcel- which contained a bunch of Queensland Police promotional pens and keyrings promoting their LGBTI liaison officers.

So I was sitting in Brisbane, on the other side of the continent, at peak hour listening to a traffic report about Perth.

It points to a system in which many intended… Read More »Surrogacy statistics: why so many go overseas

How much does surrogacy really cost? A ballpark figure

Surrogacy is not simply a medical process. It is a legal, emotional, practical and financial journey. One of the first questions intended parents rightly ask is: how much is this going to cost?
