What an extraordinary morning- acceptance by both IAML and AAARTA!

Wednesday, September 24, 2014
Some morning its pays to wake up! This morning was one of those mornings. When I went through my emails this morning I came across two extraordinary emails. This morning I have been accepted into membership of both the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the most prestigious grouping of family lawyers internationally, and as the first international fellow of the American Academy of Assisted reproductive Treatment Attorneys, AAARTA.

If there is any doubt whatever, I have been recognised by my peers here and overseas, after extremely thorough vetting processes,  as having the necessary expertise in family law and surrogacy matters.

What an extraordinary day!

Surrogacy in Iran: a complex and risky journey

Surrogacy in Iran is not a mainstream pathway for Australians, and at present it carries obvious travel, legal and practical risks. Yet for a small group of Iranian-Australian families, it has been a pathway to parenthood that feels culturally familiar, has access to sophisticated IVF treatment, and can result in an Australian child returning home… Read More »Surrogacy in Iran: a complex and risky journey
