Will you face criminal charges for overseas surrogacy? The shocking truth about prosecution risks that every Australian family needs to know! 🚨

Stephen Page from Page Provan Family and Fertility Lawyers breaks down the real legal risks of international surrogacy arrangements. While prosecutions are rare (only 6 documented cases since 1988), recent cases show the risks are NOT zero.

Key insights covered:

  • Historical prosecution data across Australian states
  • Why Queensland, NSW, and ACT have the strictest laws
  • The adoption loophole that catches Victorian and Tasmanian families
  • Real case study: Lloyd and Compton's costly mistake
  • Essential compliance strategies to protect your family

Critical warning: Some overseas surrogacy arrangements involving adoption processes can trigger criminal charges even in states with lenient surrogacy laws. Don't let poor legal advice destroy your family dreams!
