Riverfire 2013

Riverfire 2013

I am very fortunate in my job that I get the ability to travel. I am often asked to present at conferences. This year alone I have presented in:

  • Townsville- North Queensland Law Association conference
  • Brisbane- Surrogacy Australia, surrogacy forum
  • Sydney- Fertility Society of Australia conference, and surrogacy forum organised by Circle Surrogacy
  • Melbourne- Surrogacy Australia conference; presentation for the Australian Psychological Association, family law and psychology interest group; surrogacy forum organised by Circle Surrogacy
  • Anchorage, Alaska- American Bar Association, Family Law Section conference

I also travelled to San Francisco to attend a conference there and catch up with business colleagues in Los Angeles.

On the current state of the year I am to present in a week’s time in Brisbane to the Australian Association of Social Workers, and then in November in Charleston, South Carolina (at the American Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Attorneys conference).

In my travels I take my trusted DSLR held together with tape and take lots of pictures. I have shared many of these with my friends and family on Facebook, but not on my blogs.

This morning it struck me as obvious that I should post some of these pics on my blogs.

Last night I was lucky enough to attend Riverfire in Brisbane, the annual fireworks spectacular. Just before the fireworks the International Space Station flew over, this tiny speck of light zipping past.

How the family court decides parenting cases: the best interests test explained

It is what arrangements are in the best interests of the child. This is the paramount consideration under the Family Law Act 1975. It applies whenever a judge… Read More »How the family court decides parenting cases: the best interests test explained

Surrogacy in Iran: a complex and risky journey

Surrogacy in Iran is not a mainstream pathway for Australians, and at present it carries obvious travel, legal and practical risks. Yet for a small group of Iranian-Australian families, it has been a pathway to parenthood that feels culturally familiar, has access to sophisticated IVF treatment, and can result in an Australian child returning home… Read More »Surrogacy in Iran: a complex and risky journey
