John Weltman of Circle Surrogacy in Boston, a long established surrogacy agency, and I will be taking part in surrogacy information sessions in Sydney and Melbourne in the next few days.

The Melbourne information session will  be held this Friday 5 April 2013 at 6pm, and is free.

The Sydney information session will be held the following Wednesday 10 April 2013 at 5.15pm and is free.

John is a speaker at the Surrogacy Australia conference being held in Melbourne this weekend, including being part of my moderated panel of lawyers at the conference.

Another speaker at the Sydney and Melbourne sessions is fertility specialist Dr Vicken Sahakian from Pacific Fertility Center in Los Angeles. 

It is an offence in New South Wales for someone who is domiciled or ordinarily resident in that state to enter into or offer to enter into a commercial surrogacy arrangement anywhere in the world, punishable by at most a fine and up to 2 years imprisonment.

All are welcome. For more information, see the Circle Surrogacy webpage:  http://info.circlesurrogacy.com/surrogacy-in-australia-upcoming-events-april-5-12.
