Kris talks to Rach and Dene about international surrogacy laws for gay, lesbian and infertile couples looking to become parents.

We chat about:

• commercial versus altruistic surrogacy


• recent changes in the laws impacting Australians looking for surrogates overseas


• hybrid surrogacy programs operating across Cypress and the United States of America


• birth certificates and citizenship of children born to international surrogates


• nationality of surrogate, rather than nationality of the egg donor


• the costs of commercial surrogacy arrangements overseas.
