Webinar about Aussies going to Canada for surrogacy

Tuesday, July 25, 2017
On Saturday, at the invitation of Canadian Fertility Consulting, I delivered a webinar for Aussie intended parents contemplating going to Canada.

The webinar is on Youtube- here. It goes for about 1 1/2 hours. There was lots of interaction – with many questions before and after.

Any Australians contemplating going to Canada for surrogacy should get good legal advice first in both Canada and Australia from lawyers experienced in international surrogacy- lawyers who are across the issues.
