An article by Louisa Ghevaert entitled “International surrogacy: a legal minefield?” is featured in the winter 2011/2012 edition of fertility magazine Fertility Road. The article tackles the complex legal issues associated with international surrogacy, highlighting the difficulties, key legal steps, the issues surrounding travelling home to the UK with baby and the legal requirements for a parental order.
International surrogacy can seem very appealing due to accessible information about foreign surrogacy destinations on the internet, celebrity endorsement and an expanding global surrogacy sector. However, the legal issues are complex and this can create many problems without careful management and expert legal help.
