Surrogates & Donors are Extraordinary People

Tuesday, February 04, 2025

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.

Vietnam stands apart from a number of countries in Asia because it does have a legal framework for surrogacy. On paper, that sounds encouraging. In practice,… Read More »Surrogacy in Vietnam: The Risks of the Black Market and Restrictive Laws

Surrogacy in Cyprus: Understanding the North vs South Divide

Surrogacy in Cyprus sounds, at first glance, like it might offer a Mediterranean alternative for intended parents looking overseas. In reality, Cyprus is not one surrogacy destination but two very different legal and political environments sitting on the same island. That divide matters enormously. For Australians in particular, surrogacy in Cyprus raises serious practical, legal… Read More »Surrogacy in Cyprus: Understanding the North vs South Divide
