NGA speaks at Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Attorneys conference in Montreal, Canada

Natalie was delighted to speak to the Academy of Assisted Reprodutive Technology Attorneys conference in Montreal, Canada in May 2017. 

To an audience of global fertility lawyers, she shared the UK perspective on managing long term welfare issues for donor and surrogacy-conceived children. She talked about the importance of intended parents being open and comfortable with their children about how they came into the world from an early age, and being educated about that by all the professionals who engage with them at the time they are considering conceiving through collaborative reproduction. 

She also talked about law changes in the UK to move towards donors being identifiable from 2005, and how it had a surprisingly positive rather than negative impact on the numbers of egg and sperm donors coming forward.

Surrogacy for non-biological parents

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.
