Surrogates & Donors are Extraordinary People

Surrogates & Donors are Extraordinary People

I’m Stephen Page from Page Proven Family & Fertility Lawyers, and in this video, I share Lesson #6 from my 10 Lessons on Surrogacy Since 1988: Surrogates and Donors Are Extraordinary People.

Since my first surrogacy case in 1988, I’ve advised on 1,968 surrogacy journeys across Australia and 38 countries worldwide. Through this experience, one truth stands out—surrogates and donors are incredible individuals who selflessly give the gift of life.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

  • The vital role of egg donors, sperm donors, and surrogates
  • Why their contributions transform lives
  • The challenges and risks donors and surrogates take on
  • The deep gratitude owed to these remarkable people

Surrogates and donors make parenthood possible for so many who can’t conceive on their own—whether it’s heterosexual couples, LGBTQ+ parents, single parents, or those with medical conditions. Their generosity is nothing short of life-changing.

To all surrogates and donors—thank you. Your kindness and sacrifice bring so much joy to others.

When intended parents consider international surrogacy, the legal and ethical landscape can be treacherous. One government has taken a blunt but pragmatic approach: rather than issuing a blanket prohibition on overseas commercial surrogacy, it has published a short list of specific countries where surrogacy arrangements will almost certainly jeopardise a child’s legal status. That list… Read More »3 Countries You Should Never Use for Surrogacy
