Today I obtained my first NSW parentage order for surrogacy. What a brilliant day! Everyone is so happy. 18 months of preparation, child is born and orders made. Wonderful!

The fertility industry in Australia is facing a profound crisis, one that has shaken the very foundation of trust between hopeful parents and the clinics they rely on. With over 100,000 IVF cycles performed annually, the stakes could not be higher.

Surrogacy is a journey filled with hope, challenges, and profound joy. As someone who has personally navigated this path, I understand the complexities and emotional highs that come with building a family through surrogacy.
