Latest Surrogacy News
SYDNEY, Australia — Gay
male couples in Australia are paying overseas women to have
babies for them to bypass strict state laws against
commercial surrogacy, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Gay rights activist and GP Ruth McNair says the phenomenon
of “reproductive tourism” is an emerging trend in gay
communities around the country. A Melbourne man, Lee
Matthews, acknowledged in the gay newspaper MCV that he is
the co-father of an 8-month-old born to a surrogate mother
in the United States, the Herald reported. Matthews has a
long-term relationship with his partner. In the report,
Matthews identified several other cases of gay men — singles
and couples — who have conceived children with U.S.
surrogates. The Australian Family Association decries the
trend. “Some people have said it’s a form of child abuse to
bring a child deliberately into the world without a mother
and father,” AFA spokesperson Bill Muehlenberg told the
Herald. “Every child has a right to its own mother and
father, not two dads, not two mothers and not a committee.”
