Natalie was delighted to join a panel of expert speakers for an event attended by more than 100 people last week to discuss barriers to family building for the LGBTQ+ community. Natalie spoke about the evolution of the law and where it is still lagging behind, focusing on surrogacy, transgender parents and multi-parent families. Other speakers included clinicians Carole Gilling-Smith and Nick Macklon, Fertility Justice Now campaigners Nancy Kelley and Laura-Rose Thorogood, sociologist Marcin Smietana and TransParentChange founder Jacob Stokoe.

As prominent champions of LGBTQ+ families, we are always passionate about contributing to public debate and doing all we can to move the law forward.

We hope the law will change to recognise and make space for parents through non-biological surrogacy. In the meantime, we will continue to find creative solutions for parents wherever possible which navigate the law successfully and safely. Surrogacy without a biological connection is legal, and possible, but how you resolve the legal issues needs careful planning given the facts of each particular case and often it is a jigsaw of solutions which all need to be fitted together.
