Three upcoming surrogacy and parents to be seminars- two THIS WEEK

Monday, May 01, 2017
This week and in a couple of weeks, I will be undertaking three upcoming seminars about surrogacy and becoming parents:

Seminar one: the LGBTIQ parents to be information night

This Thursday night I will be presenting in Brisbane at the LGBTIQ parents to be information night. There will be three presenters: fertility specialist Dr Andrew Davidson from Rainbow Fertility;  Churchill Fellow, psychologist and fertility counsellor Narelle Dickinson, and me.

This is a free event, and I encourage everyone to attend. More on the details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1796649017329178/.

Seminar two: Aussies considering going to the US for surrogacy

 

One of the world’s oldest and leading surrogacy agencies, Boston based Circle Surrogacy, is running a webinar from 9am to 11am Sydney time on Saturday morning, for Australians considering undertaking surrogacy in the US. I am presenting at this along with attorney Scott Buckley from Circle Surrogacy.

The webinar is free and chock full of information about surrogacy – including the implications of the Australian Family Court decision last year of Re Halvard.

Again I encourage everyone to attend.

Seminar 3: Fertility Solutions Sunshine Coast

Sunshine Coast IVF clinic Fertility Solutions Sunshine Coast has turned 10! To celebrate, on 20 May they will be holding a free patient information morning, including a session which I’ll be speaking at for those considering egg, embryo or sperm donation, or needing an egg, embryo or sperm donor.

Again, I encourage everyone to attend. For details, click here: http://fertilitysolutions.com.au/celebrating-10-years/.

Why Australia Needs a Human Rights Act

Australia prides itself on fairness and the rule of law, yet it remains the only western common law country without a national Human Rights Act or bill of rights. That absence is not merely theoretical. It has practical, often profound consequences for people navigating assisted reproductive treatment, IVF and surrogacy. The legal gap and why… Read More »Why Australia Needs a Human Rights Act

Surrogacy Human Rights: Protecting Parents, Children & Surrogates

Human Rights & Surrogacy: Protecting Parents, Children & Surrogates

Surrogacy is as much a human-rights issue as it is a family-law matter. Courts around the world are grappling with competing rights: the right to procreate and access assisted reproductive treatment, the child’s right to identity, and the surrogate’s right to bodily autonomy and fair treatment. These tensions shape how laws and court decisions treat… Read More »Human Rights & Surrogacy: Protecting Parents, Children & Surrogates
