Intended Parents please beware going abroad for surrogacy outside Canada and the
US.

An international surrogacy ring exploited impoverished women, denied payments
for miscarriages, and “commercialised” babies in Argentina, prosecutors have
alleged.

A team of prosecutors said they had discovered a “criminal enterprise” which has
been charging foreign couples about $50,000 for a baby born by surrogacy in
Argentina.

They said “vulnerable women in conditions of economic deprivation” were targeted
and recruited on social media. The women were offered $10,000, with a bonus of
$1-2,000 if they gave birth by caesarean section.

But if the pregnancy was interrupted for any reason – such as a miscarriage –
the companies refused to pay the surrogates, except for the minimum monthly
expenses, prosecutors claimed.

Earlier this month police raided four fertility centres in Buenos Aires and two
in Rosario, seven notary offices, and three law firms, seizing medical and
payment records. The public prosecutor’s office, along with the office for human
trafficking and exploitation, is investigating those involved for crimes of
trafficking and the “commercialisation” of children.

“Those under investigation carried out a criminal enterprise dedicated to the
recruitment of women, many of them vulnerable and in conditions of economic
deprivation, with the aim of subjecting them to exploitation comparable to
reduction to servitude,” prosecutors said.

A source close to the investigation said that those running the scheme,
advertised by various individuals and companies as Program Argentina, “obtained
significant profits”.

Nigel Cantwell, the founder of Defence for Children International and one of the
world’s leading authorities on child protection policies, said the allegations
in Argentina were “particularly egregious”.

“If the women were not being paid for their services when there was a problem
during the pregnancies, then it was pure sale of children,” he added. “It’s an
extraordinarily difficult thing to try to defend on an ethical basis.”

No international rules or treaties exist for surrogacy, and national regulations
vary widely. In wealthy countries, surrogacies now often involve pre-screening,
counselling and legal advice – and in Britain intended parents are vetted by
social workers.

But surrogates selected in developing countries are often poor and illiterate,
while experts say that some sign contracts without fully understanding the
documentation. There are also usually no or few checks on those requesting a
surrogacy arrangement, Cantwell said.

The Argentinian investigation started in January when a 58-year-old German woman
took a three-month-old baby in “very poor health” to the emergency room at a
hospital in Bonn, prosecutors said. The child was found to have been born in
Argentina via surrogacy. German police determined that the woman was not fit to
care for the baby, and subsequently placed her into temporary foster care.

Several developing countries have made attempts to end international surrogacy
in recent years – Thailand and India banned foreign people from paying for
surrogacy in 2015 – but the practice has continued to boom. It is estimated that
the global surrogacy industry had a value of $14bn in 2022, increasing to
$17.9bn in 2023, and is expected to reach $139bn by 2032.

“With the decrease in inter-country adoptions, and the increasing ability to
access surrogacy, international surrogacy is going up,” said Cantwell.

Experts have denounced a legal vacuum for commercial international surrogacy in
Argentina. The source close to the investigation said that those involved took
advantage of weak regulations “to make Argentina a place of ‘reproductive
tourism’” to directly benefit “couples from more developed nations”.

Argentina has been suffering from a crippling economic crisis for decades. More
than 50% of people are living in poverty, while 70% of workers earn less than
550,000 pesos a month – roughly £430.

Prosecutors are now investigating similar cases going back to 2018. They have so
far identified at least 49 others which they say share similar characteristics
to the initial “German case”. None of the organisations or individuals under
investigation have yet been publicly named.

“The incident that led to the initiation of the case is not isolated,” federal
prosecutor María Alejandra Mángano said in a statement. “On the contrary, it was
revealed that it was a business scheme, developed at a national and
international level.”

Having a baby via surrogate in Canada: The ups, the downs and the unexpected red
tape.

I never thought I'd be someone who had a baby via gestational surrogate — until
I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

My husband and I were skeptical. Who would do this for us if not for the money?

When I learned that actress Olivia Munn and her husband, comedian John Mulaney,
had recently welcomed their second child via gestational surrogate it made me
smile. Our stories are similar; like Munn, my first year of motherhood was
upended by a cancer diagnosis — and it took a special surrogate to help make my
dreams of having more children come true.

I first noticed the lump in my breast when my son was nine months old. What I
had hoped was a plugged milk duct turned out to be stage 1 breast cancer. A
double mastectomy, chemical menopause and hormone therapy followed. A few months
later, I celebrated my son’s first birthday a few days after my double
mastectomy, unable to hold him as I was still healing.

I was relieved when I found out the cancer hadn’t spread — but my husband and I
were dealt another blow when it was clear that because of my type of breast
cancer, it wouldn’t be safe for me to carry another baby.

My sister had been my rock through treatment and I knew I wanted my son to have
a sibling of his own one day. We could adopt — but there also might be another
way.

Years before we had our first child, my husband and I decided to freeze our
embryos. We thought that if we were unable to get pregnant on our own, we could
investigate using a gestational surrogate. We never anticipated we would need
the embryos after cancer — but we were grateful we had options.

I grew up in the United States where surrogacy can potentially cost upwards of
$100,000. In Canada, it’s illegal to pay a surrogate under the Assisted Human
Reproduction Act; only altruistic surrogacy is permitted. However it’s legal to
reimburse a surrogate for out-of-pocket expenses like lost wages, child care,
groceries and more. My husband and I were skeptical. Who would do this for us if
not for the money?

After doing some research, we began working with a surrogacy agency, to help
pair us, the intended parents with a potential surrogate. But the people we were
“matched” with were not a fit — and the agency expected us to pay thousands of
dollars once a match was made. So, I turned to social media.

Desperately seeking surrogate

Within minutes of posting in two Facebook groups for intended parents searching
for surrogates, I connected with several women looking to help couples grow
their families as well as former surrogates and intended parents who offered
guidance. I had done a vlog with Rethink Breast Cancer documenting my breast
cancer journey and one of the members of the community sent it to my future
surrogate.

After a few weeks of texting back and forth, I hopped on a plane from Toronto to
Ottawa. We spent an entire day at the spa, lounging and laughing. She felt like
someone I had known my entire life.

We met in May 2019 and by August of the same year she was pregnant with our baby
after the first embryo transfer.

My surrogate, my best friend

I flew to see her for all the ultrasounds, staying at her home and getting to
know her amazing kids and supportive husband. When there was an issue after the
five month anatomy scan, I travelled the day after Christmas so we could go to
the doctor together— and we celebrated the good news that all was well with her
family. I even rented an Airbnb nearby for the time leading up to her birth,
just case she went into early labour. But in March 2020 a global pandemic
suddenly threw a major wrench into our plans.
Surrogacy during the pandemic was no picnic

Our surrogate lived in Quebec, just a few kilometres from the Ontario border,
and felt more comfortable giving birth there. Despite close proximity to the
border, restrictions on cross-border travel proved to be an issue — and spending
the month in a rental close to our surrogate was no longer an option.

Our lawyers warned us that there was no guarantee we would be allowed across the
border at all — even for the birth. I had to pay $250 for a letter from the
fertility clinic in Ontario certifying that the embryo implanted and thus the
baby she was carrying was biologically related to us. We also had to bring a
copy of the fully executed surrogacy contract from our lawyer, who also warned
us that due to COVID restrictions, we may not be able to enter the hospital and
take custody of the baby once its delivered.

Crossing the border wasn't the only obstacle we faced. Prior to a March 2024
reform, a child born via surrogacy in Quebec was considered custody of the
surrogate. This meant that only my husband would be allowed in the delivery
room, as the surrogate was considered the biological mother.

When we got to Quebec we were pleasantly surprised with no issues at the border
and the nurses greeting us warmly, and were up to speed on our entire story.
While we were hopeful that we could be present for the entire labour, our
surrogate needed an emergency C-section. COVID restrictions took precedence once
again and we were restricted from being in the operating room and met our baby a
few hours after they were born.
We had to adopt our own baby

Sara Cohen, a fertility lawyer based in Toronto, says there's been a significant
increase in surrogacy in Canada in recent years. Cohen tells Yahoo Canada that
aside from commercialized surrogacy being legal in the U.S., there are are two
important differences between surrogacy in the U.S. vs. Canada.

Firstly, Canadian surrogates have access to provincial health care coverage for
their pregnancy. In the U.S., intended parents need to consider the costs of
insurance premiums for both pregnancy and delivery.

Secondly, unlike in Canada, some U.S. states have pre-birth orders, agreements
between the surrogate and intended parents signed before the birth of the child
declaring the intended parents the legal parents of the child. The process to
have legal custody of my child was more complex.

In addition to my lawyer in Ontario, I had to retain a lawyer in Quebec to be
registered as the biological mother of my child. It was unsettling that after
everything I'd gone through, I also had to go through an extensive adoption
process.

As of March 2024, a new process was implemented that still complicates matters.
Any surrogacy agreements signed on or after March 6, 2024 will recognize the
intended parents as the legal parents if there is a "notarized act from both the
surrogate and the intended parents so long as the surrogate and intended parents
be domiciled in Quebec for at least one year prior to the signature of the
surrogacy agreement."

Cohen says that despite the recently updated laws in Quebec surrounding
surrogacy, challenges remain and she “strongly advises people not to engage in
surrogacy in the province of Quebec.” In fact she says that people who are
surrogates in Quebec often deliver across the border in Ontario. Ontario’s All
Families Are Equal Act has simplified the process for intended parents, allowing
up to four parent’s names to be listed on the birth registration, thus avoiding
a complicated adoption process.

Surrogacy in Canada

Ontario and British Columbia are considered surrogate-friendly provinces, along
with Alberta — but Alberta has a smaller pool of surrogates, and therefore
longer wait times.

"New Brunswick is probably the worst of the rest of the provinces in the sense
that it doesn't have any on point legislation — but nothing is nearly as
difficult as Quebec," Cohen says.

Still, Cohen says, New Brunswick needs to catch up to the other provinces.
Earlier this year she told Global News: “New Brunswick is lagging because there
actually is no legislation around surrogacy or children who are conceived
through the use of third-party reproduction."
Grateful for our family

Despite the red tape, I'm grateful for Canadian surrogacy — but that doesn’t
mean surrogacy in Canada is a bargain. Lawyers fees, travel expenses, paid time
off from work for our surrogate, all those items can really add up. But when you
find a surrogate you connect with and trust, none of that matters.

My surrogate is forever part of my family, and even one of the godmothers of the
baby she delivered. Having breast cancer was not part of my life plan, but if it
meant I got to know this amazing woman and her incredible family, in some way,
it was all worth it.

The power of love: N.L. woman helping to make Quebec couple's dreams of a second
child come true through surrogacy.

Rumsey currently pregnant with couple's second child after already carrying
their daughter.

Alexandre Béland and Carl Mastrovito aren’t claiming Céline Dion helped them
become parents. All they’re saying is that she was involved, both times.

Well, in voice, anyway.

Dion was playing on the radio in the Toronto medical clinic during the couple’s
first successful embryo transfer to surrogate Lesley Rumsey in 2022, giving them
their daughter Sofia.

Coincidentally, the Québécoise megastar’s music was playing again during their
second successful transfer to Rumsey this past spring, after three previous
attempts.

Rumsey is due to give birth to their second daughter in St. John’s at the end of
November.

“Céline is the very distant godmother,” jokes Béland of Dion.

“It’s definitely our angels’ way to say this was going to work,” Mastrovito
says, more seriously.

“I think we were all getting pretty defeated after three failures. Like Lesley
says, you can stay optimistic, but reality starts to kick in and the more we
were going forward, the more we knew we’d have less and less of a chance. At
some point, you have to call it quits.”

The power of love

As The Telegram reported last year, Rumsey, of St. John’s, had connected Béland
and Mastrovito, of Montreal, through Canadian surrogacy consulting agency Proud
Fertility.

Inspired by her then-20-year-old daughter Skylar’s decision to donate her eggs
through the agency, Rumsey decided to become a surrogate.

When the organization sent her videos of prospective parents to consider, she
felt drawn to couple No. 4 - Béland and Mastrovito – and told the agency she
didn’t need to see any others.

The men had taken steps to start their family a year earlier, eventually
creating two sets of embyros — one set genetically linked to each of them — with
the help of an anonymous egg donor, before they were put on a waiting list for a
surrogate and told it could be a while.

They say they were ecstatic to learn a potential surrogate had chosen them, and
felt the same connection to Rumsey when they saw her profile that she did seeing
theirs.

The power of love, some might say.
Emergency delivery

The couple stayed in constant contact with Rumsey throughout her pregnancy,
attending doctor appointments with her by FaceTime or in person on one of their
visits, and had meticulously planned to be in the case room when their daughter
was born.

Sofia, however, came early in an urgent situation, after the umbilical cord
wrapped around her tiny body like a lasso, causing her vital signs to become
unstable.

Beland and Mastrovito made it to St. John’s quickly, staying in a private
hospital room with their daughter and Rumsey until the baby was ready to go home
and the paperwork to name Béland and Mastrovito on her birth certificate was in
order.

At that point, Rumsey had already signed on to carry the couple’s second child,
if they decided to try for one.

She didn’t know for certain that was their plan until a few months later, when
they texted her a picture of Sofia’s new stroller.

“I was looking at it and thinking, that’s a double stroller,” Rumsey says,
chuckling. “We had already talked about them having a second baby, and if
everything went OK for us the first time, that I’d be open to it, now that I
knew what was involved.”

Busy little girl

This pregnancy has been much different for Rumsey than her pregnancy with Sofia.
She has been feeling good but is less energetic this time around, whereas with
Sofia she was constantly on the move.

That tracks, say the dads, since Sofia is the same.

These days, she enjoys going to the park, being in daycare, and playing with the
new toy kitchen she received for her second birthday on Oct. 21. She loves cats
and airplanes and wants to be involved in whatever Papa and Daddy are saying.

Her first language is French, and she has already picked up some English.

“She’s been a super easy baby. We really lucked out,” says Béland, “but she has
a strong character, for sure. Now it’s all about ‘no’ and pushing back.”
Always family

The couple told The Telegram after Sofia’s birth they would always consider
Rumsey and her own two daughters family.

They maintain that connection through regular contact and visits. Sofia came
with her dads to St. John’s in July and heard her little sister’s heartbeat with
them at Rumsey’s ultrasound appointment.

It was Sofia who revealed to her dads that her sibling is a girl at a party
organized by Rumsey. Sofia emerged wearing a “Big Sister” t-shirt, with a baby
doll wearing a matching “Little Sister” shirt.

She’ll understand more about her big sister role and Rumsey’s connection to her
family when she returns to the province in a month’s time for the baby’s birth,
her dads say.

In time, she’ll understand how Rumsey helped make her parents’ life dream come
true.
Lucky

Béland and Mastrovito say their surrogacy story – connecting so quickly with
Rumsey, having a successful embryo transfer on the first try with Sofia, and
Rumsey offering to carry their second child – is not typical.

Most surrogates who decide to undergo the process a second time choose a
different couple who have yet to have a child, they explain.

They consider themselves lucky. Surrogacy is a lot to ask, they explain,
describing themselves as having the easy end of the situation and wishing they
could be closer to Rumsey to support her in person throughout the process.

They also wish surrogacy was an accessible option for more people.

“It’s a topic that I’m really, really passionate about, and I think it’s
something I would definitely try to change,” says Mastrovito.

The cost of the surrogacy process is high, and he’d like to see more financial
support from government for Canadian couples who aren’t able to conceive and
want to take that route. He’d also like to see changes to legislative barriers.

For instance, recent provincial rules allow people in Quebec who want to have a
baby by a surrogate to do so only if the surrogate lives in that province or one
of seven others. Newfoundland and Labrador isn’t on the list, meaning Rumsey
wouldn’t have been allowed to carry Béland and Mastrovito’s child if she hadn’t
already been pregnant when the legislation was implemented last June.
Finished?

Rumsey says she’s often asked whether she’s done being a surrogate.

She doesn’t give a clear yes or no.

“My daughter Skylar brought it up to me the other day. She said, ‘Mom, everyone
asks you if you’re done, and you hesitate for too long. Then you say, ‘Well, the
boys are finished,’” Rumsey says.

“I know it’s in the universe for me to say, ‘OK Lesley, now it’s time for you.’
But I’ve seen it in a light where I’ve helped this beautiful family. Hopefully,
we’ll always have that special thread. It’s just a fear of the finality, when I
know there are so many other people out there who will probably never, ever get
a surrogate.”

Why an Ottawa city councillor carried a baby for a gay couple in Spain.

Stéphanie Plante wanted to bring some joy into the world eight years ago as a
surrogate. The experience has helped shape her work at city hall.

The little girl blows kisses and, in practised English, says thank you for the
gifts. “I love you,” she adds, waving as the video ends. Stéphanie Plante puts
down her phone and smiles.

As Ottawa councillor for Rideau-Vanier ward since 2022, Plante’s work life
includes policies and budgets and helping residents with problems big and small.
“I have learned a lot about food banks.”

But Martina, the little girl sending a thank you video from Spain where she
lives with her two dads, is also part of Plante’s life. And that connection has
given the 45-year-old city councilor a rare perspective in Canadian politics.

In 2016, before she entered municipal politics, Plante became a gestational
surrogate for a gay couple. It was her way, she says, of trying to bring some
joy into the world during what was a difficult time in her own life and beyond.

Her marriage had imploded and she was a single mother to her young son. As she
later wrote in a piece published in Today’s Parent magazine, it was a terrible
year. (She cites Trump’s election victory, Brexit and the death of rock star
Prince, in addition to her marriage breakdown, as factors). The article was
titled: Why Donald Trump and a bad divorce made me decide to become a surrogate.

“As (the year) drew to a close, I started thinking about what I could do to
counteract all of that terrible. I wanted to look back on that year and think,
‘Yeah, I put something good in the world’,” she wrote.

Around that time, Plante saw a post on social media from a man who had once been
an exchange student at the University of Windsor where she attended. He was from
Spain and had been travelling in the U.S. When she asked about his trip, he said
he and his partner were supposed to meet with a surrogate, but it didn’t work
out.

Plante was working at the University of Ottawa at the time and, during the
pregnancy, she started dating the man who would become her husband. She also had
a young son. She quickly realized that keeping her decision to become a
surrogate a secret would not be an option.

“I didn’t ever want my son to feel like this is weird that my mommy is pregnant
and she is not keeping the baby. I spoke very openly about it. I told anyone who
would listen. I was just very honest because I thought that was the best way to
deal with it.”

People she spoke to were curious about surrogacy. “Most people had questions.”

Plante felt strongly about helping a gay couple who wanted a child, especially
after a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando that left 49 people dead and
53 wounded.

“I wanted to help normalize two men having a son or a daughter and raising her.
When you normalize all families, you have to build your society around that.”

Through participation in surrogacy groups and speaking about her experience,
Plante says she has also heard many stories about people who seek a surrogate
after years of struggling with infertility. For many of those parents, surrogacy
is a last chance.

“This is a kind of last whistle-stop for many of them. I wish more people knew
that because these stories are absolutely heartbreaking.”

And Plante says carrying the baby also helped her get through a difficult time.

“In a weird way, it nourished me too. I think she saved me. I needed her as much
as she needed me,” said Plante of the pregnancy. It helped ensure she took care
of herself, got enough sleep and generally got her life in order after a period
of shock and sadness when her marriage ended.

And Plante said she knew she would be OK with carrying the baby and giving her
up to her fathers.

In the days leading up to the baby’s birth, Plante says she was “bloated and
looking like a Michelin Man.” She was told to take it easy, and did. But as a
final outing before the birth, she attended the 2017 Pride parade.

“I thought, I am pregnant with a gay couple’s kid. I have to go watch the Pride
parade.”

For the cesarean birth, Plante’s husband (then boyfriend) was with her and the
fathers were in a nearby room. “My husband was there when the baby was handed to
them.”

He also took a video of the moment. “They looked up after 15 seconds and said
‘Is Stéphanie OK?’ The nurse said yes, she is fine, and then they looked back at
the baby.

“It was beautiful. Sometimes when I am having a bad day, I just watch the video
of them crying and holding her.”

Plante continues to have a close bond with the family who live and raise now
seven-year-old Martina in Madrid. They are in “constant touch”, texting each
other multiple times a week. Sometimes Plante gets messages from Martina about
her day, about her life, about the fact that she didn’t like what was served for
dinner. The family visited Canada last year.

They will continue to be parts of each other’s lives, even from a distance, she
says.

It is illegal to pay a surrogate in Canada, but surrogates are reimbursed for
pregnancy-related expenses. In some cases, surrogacy agencies manage a trust to
handle the expenses. While some see surrogacy as altruistic, similar to living
organ donors, there are also critics of the process who say that surrogacy is
under-regulated and lacks proper oversight and transparency. It also raises
complex ethical issues.

Plante has spoken frequently about being a surrogate – making her a rare public
voice on the issue, especially among politicians. She has participated in
discussions and sessions on how the legislative and policy framework of
surrogacy could be improved.

Her experience, she says, helped shape the work she now does as city councillor
to Rideau-Vanier. Plante, the daughter of a francophone auto worker in the
Windsor area, says her blue-collar roots have helped her better understand some
of the economic struggles residents she works with are dealing with.

“I feel deeply about people who are having some kind of a setback and just need
a helping hand.”

Being a surrogate for a gay couple has made Pride celebrations even more
important to Plante.

In August, when Capital Pride was embroiled in a controversy after releasing a
pro-Palestinian statement, Plante posted her own statement on the social media
platform X, saying she wanted to acknowledge “two very important people who
inspire me every day.”

One was Ottawa’s first drag queen and Lowertown resident Paul Fournier, known as
Peaches Latour, who refused to identify friends who were gay after being
arrested by the RCMP in the 1960s. Plante nominated him for the Order of Ottawa
this year. She also talked about being a surrogate.

“As many of you know, I was a gestational surrogate. Watching her amazing dads
raise her is the most heartwarming experience. All families are created equal!”

Plante later said that she wanted to tell a personal story “about why we
celebrate Pride. Everybody has a story.”

This Guelph, Ont., couple is looking for a surrogate via social media after
frustrating search.

In Canada, it's illegal to pay for surrogate services or to buy human sperm and
eggs.

Stephanie Craig and Mike Murphy of Guelph, Ont., are a pretty average couple.

They got married and bought a home together, and have been trying to grow their
family since 2017 — but that's been difficult.

Because of a medical condition, Craig was force to give birth prematurely in
2019 at 24 weeks. The baby died just 36 minutes after birth. After that, the
couple tried in-vitro fertilization (IVF) but it didn't work. Since then,
they've been looking for a surrogate but there aren't many available for their
needs.

In July, the couple decided to create an Instagram page documenting their search
and sharing their experience with others going through the same the same
experience.

They also hoped the online profile might help them find their surrogate.

"We found out that we were likely going to have to go public with our search,
and that's scary, putting yourself out there," Craig said.

Craig said while you can use an agency to find a surrogate, many couples search
independently to have more flexibility.

She said an agency will have a list of all the service providers a couple would
work with, but they want to be able to carefully pick their own lawyers and
therapists to work with.

"It's more work for us, but we get to have the benefit of working with those
that fit our needs best. It is particularly important to us that our future
surrogate have the choice as to [which lawyer and therapist] she wants to work
with as well."

Legal considerations

Under Canadian regulations, surrogacy is legal but there are rules surrounding
what can and can't be paid to surrogates. For instance, you can't offer to pay
or advertise payment for someone to be a surrogate. However, surrogates may be
paid for medical and some other expenses related to the pregnancy.

To reduce the chances that young women are taken advantage of, it is also
illegal to help or advise someone under age 21 to become a surrogate.

Anyone found guilty of breaking these laws can be fined up to $500,000 or jailed
for up to 10 years.

Lisa Feldstein, a lawyer in Markham, Ont., who helps families navigate the
health-care system, said there's lots to consider when looking for a surrogate.

They include ensuring it's the right path for you, including by speaking to your
doctor and getting well informed.

Feldstein said one of the biggest barriers can be the financial implications.

"Surrogacy is very expensive. Even in the altruistic environment, it is going to
be minimum in the tens of thousands of dollars because of the expenses at the
fertility clinic," she said.

"Then, the reimbursement of the surrogate can dramatically vary if they're
paying her back for lost income or if she's a high-income earner and she has to
travel a great distance to the clinic, [and] if she has several kids and needs a
lot of child-care help."

These are costs Craig and Murphy are willing to reimburse for their surrogate.

Feldstein said it can add up to about $80,000 and some people can end up
spending over $100,000 based on their individual needs.
Becoming a surrogate

Karen Harnack-O'Connor of Cambridge, Ont., signed up with an agency two years
ago to become a surrogate, and gave CBC insight into the process.

As a first-time surrogate, she's about 29 weeks into the pregnancy.

Harnack-O'Connor said the couple she chose to help were complete strangers. Over
a two-year span, they've slowly become her close friends.

"It's very much like an interview process at first where you get profiles, you
read through the profiles and you find someone that you think that you're going
to click with. But then you still have to go through this whole dating process
of seeing if both of your values match up together and your outlook of what you
want during the pregnancy, and even contact afterwards."
Counselling highly suggested

Feldstein said couples and surrogates should also be thinking about their
individual mental well-being.

"Counselling is very important; it's not legally required, but many fertility
clinics require it and it's a highly valuable step. Many lawyers do not want to
even write a surrogacy contract until counselling has been done."

Feldstein said counselling "will often make sure that a surrogate is emotionally
fit and mentally fit to be a surrogate, carry a pregnancy for someone else and
relinquish the child, and for the intended parents as well, to make sure that
they're ready, because many intended parents, they are grieving [a lost child]."

Craig said it also helps to have a strong community around you.

"I found amazing women on IVF groups that I'm good friends with. We've been
meeting up. We now have the surrogacy community that's rallied around us and
they're checking in with me all the time," she said.

"If this is the way that you need to build your family, you can do it."

Government of Yukon introduces medical travel subsidy for fertility and
surrogacy treatments.

The Government of Yukon is making fertility and surrogacy treatments more
accessible by expanding the medical travel subsidy for eligible Yukoners. This
initiative comes into force immediately and will help reduce the financial
burden of travel for those seeking fertility and surrogacy treatments not
available within the territory. This initiative was committed to in the 2023
Confidence and Supply Agreement.

Under expanded regulations for the Medical Travel Program, Yukoners may be
eligible to have airfare costs covered and a subsidy to assist with the cost of
accommodations, meals and transportation.

Given the often-high costs of fertility treatments, this subsidy is aimed at
easing some of the financial barriers associated with accessing fertility or
surrogacy services outside the Yukon.

Expanding medical travel coverage for fertility and surrogacy treatments is the
first phase in the government’s broader plan to improve access to fertility
treatments for Yukon residents. Work is underway to explore additional options
to make fertility treatments more affordable, including the introduction of a
tax credit for Yukoners undergoing fertility and surrogacy treatments.

The medical travel subsidy applies only to travel for fertility and surrogacy
treatments undertaken after the regulation changes take effect.

For more information people can contact Shauna Demers, Director of Insured
Services at shauna.demers@yukon.ca or 867-335-1534.

"Fertility and surrogacy treatments can be both emotionally and financially
overwhelming, especially when travel is required to access care. This travel
subsidy is aimed at reducing some of the financial pressures, making it easier
for Yukoners to access the care they need. We understand how significant these
costs can be and are committed to helping Yukoners pursue their family planning
goals by reducing some of the financial barriers so they might pursue their
dreams of parenthood."

Minister of Health and Social Services Tracy-Anne McPhee

"The Yukon NDP is proud to have closed this long-standing, glaring gap in
medical coverage for families across the territory. We listened to Yukon
families when they told us what they needed, and we're happy to see our advocacy
on their behalf is taking root in meaningful action."

Leader of the Yukon NDP and MLA for Takhini-Kopper King Kate White

Quick facts

For the most part, fertility treatments, such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF)
and surrogacy services are not currently available within the Yukon, requiring
residents to travel within Canada, to other jurisdictions for these specialized
services.

Medical travel for fertility and surrogacy treatment is available for both in
and out of territory medical travel when services are not available in one's
home community.

Including fertility in medical travel is an element of the Confidence and Supply
Agreement and is supported by both the Yukon Liberal Government and the Yukon
NDP Caucus.

Backgrounder

Regulatory amendments include the following definition of fertility treatment:

Artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization including
Intrauterine insemination,
Therapeutic donor insemination, and
Cycle monitoring
Egg (ova) sperm and embryo donation,
Egg (ova) and sperm retrieval procedures
Fertility preservation including
Egg (ova) and embryo freezing and thawing
Sperm freezing, thawing and washing, and
Fertility preservation for age-related reasons
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection
Ovulation induction
Superovulation
Tubal ligation reversal
Vasectomy reversal and

Assessments, consultations, diagnostic and other treatments including
anesthesia, ultrasound or blood tests that are required in connection with any
fertility treatment listed above.

Applications for medical travel for fertility or surrogacy treatment will follow
the same process as applications for insured health services.

Italy criminalizes surrogacy abroad in move slammed as ‘medieval’ by critics.

Many lawmakers were opposed to the new legislation.

Italian parents who have made the often difficult and expensive decision to have
children through surrogacy abroad have been thrown into a state of fear after a
sudden shift in the country’s already strict restrictions on bringing those
children up in Italy.

Italy has broadened its legislation on surrogacy, which has been illegal in the
country since 2004, to now criminalize “surrogacy tourism” in countries like the
United States and Canada, subjecting any intended parent who breaks the law to
fines of up to €1 million ($1 million) and jail terms of up to two years.

As written, the law does not affect parents whose children born of surrogacy are
already registered in the country, but many parents of younger children fear
they could be targeted anyway when their children reach school age and have to
register for the public school system.

The law, which came into effect immediately, passed the Italian Senate 84-58
after an impassioned debate that lasted more than seven hours on Wednesday and
at times seemed as if it would come to blows.

Protesters demonstrating in front of the Senate during the lengthy debate
carried signs that said: “We are families, not crimes,” and featured photos of
their children under the words “the children we could never have.” Meanwhile,
some called the proposed law a “medieval” ruling in interviews with Italian
media.

The bill was introduced by Giorgia Meloni’s ruling far-right Brothers of Italy
party and personally pushed by the prime minister, who has found in Pope Francis
an ally on the surrogacy issue - underscoring the continued political influence
of the Catholic Church in Italy, especially when it comes to reproductive
issues.

Italy was one of the last western European nations to legalize same-sex unions,
which it did in 2016, but still does not recognize same-sex unions as “marriage”
under pressure from the Italian Catholic Church.

Meloni welcomed the Senate’s decision on X Wednesday, calling it “a common sense
rule against the commodification of the female body and children. Human life has
no price and is not a commodity.”

Earlier this year, Francis called for a global ban on surrogacy, describing the
practice as “deplorable” and insisting that “a child is always a gift and never
the basis of a commercial contract.” The pope, however, has not called for the
practice to be criminalized and a 2023 Vatican doctrinal ruling pointed out that
children born through surrogacy can be baptized.

The Catholic Church opposes surrogacy because it is “contrary to the unity of
marriage and to the dignity of the procreation of the human person” and is
against in-vitro fertilization (IVF) because the process involves the disposal
of unneeded embryos, which the church believes is immoral.

Francis has shifted the church’s approach on welcoming LGBTQ people, but has
maintained a strong line opposing both abortion and surrogacy. He has framed his
critique of surrogacy as part of his long-running concerns about a “throwaway
culture” where human beings are considered as “consumer goods” to be discarded
and in surrogacy sees a danger of poorer women being exploited.

The new Italian law does not differentiate between same-sex and heterosexual
couples, nor between altruistic or paid surrogacy, but it will
disproportionately affect the LGBTQ community, advocates fear.

“The alleged defense of women, the vaunted interest in children, are just fig
leaves behind which the homophobic obsession of this majority is hidden, not so
much,” Laura Boldrini, an Italian politician and former speaker of Italy’s lower
house of Parliament who also joined the protest in front of the Senate posted on
X.

“Law or no law, same-sex families exist and will continue to exist. We will
always be at their side in the battle for the affirmation of the rights of boys
and girls and the self-determination of women.”

Alessia Crocini, president of the Rainbow Families advocate group, said: “We as
Rainbow Families will not stop and will continue our battle in the courts and in
the streets. We will fight every day to affirm the beauty and freedom of our
families and our sons and daughters.”

Italy already bans gay couples from adopting children and last year the country
started removing lesbian mothers’ names from some birth registrations if they
were not the biological parent. Many local governments have already changed
birth registrations to allow for only “mother” and “father” rather than “parent
1” and “parent 2,” which is widely accepted across the European Union.

Michela Calabro, head of LGBTQ rights group Arcigay’s political arm, called the
law a serious denial of individual freedoms and self-determination.

“Introducing a crime, even a universal one, not only limits the possibility of
choice, but also fuels a patriarchal vision of women’s bodies,” she said in a
statement on X. “This measure highlights the Government and Parliament’s
inability to address other important and urgent issues in our country. In fact,
the parliamentary majority once again chooses to demonstrate its strength mainly
on ideological arguments, while on pragmatic issues it confirms its total
inability.”

It is unclear how the new law will be enforced, or if DNA checks could be
required when babies are said to be born to Italian women abroad.

LGBTQ activists who protested outside the Senate on Wednesday said that
heterosexual couples make up 90% of all surrogacies.

They argue that those couples will still be able to “sneak their children in”
and get around the new law since, in the US and Canada, intended parents’ names
can be put on foreign birth certificates for babies born to surrogates in
compliance with state rules. Gay male couples would find it harder to find a
loophole when returning to Italy.

The new legislation could prove challenging for Meloni politically. She enjoys a
strong approval rating, with the latest polls showing she has 29.3% support (up
3% from when she took office in late 2022).

But the broad reach of the legislation has prompted wide criticism, including
from heterosexual couples who have come out to protest alongside those in the
gay community. She is also a close political ally of tech billionaire Elon Musk,
who has had children via surrogates and who spoke at her political convention in
December, telling her supporters to “make more Italians” to combat the country’s
dwindling birth rate.

The pope and Meloni have also found common ground on this topic, with the pair
joining forces at a conference aimed at tackling Italy’s declining birth rate,
while Francis has generated attention for his view that some couples nowadays
prefer to have pets rather than children.

But not all of Meloni’s policies are in line with those of Francis. The same day
the controversial law passed, Italy began shipping some migrant men rescued at
sea to Albania, in a move that is starkly against the Church’s teaching that
migrants should be welcomed and Francis’ outspoken advocacy on this topic.

Italy passes law banning surrogacy abroad that activists say targets LGBTQ+
couples.

PM Giorgia Meloni has pursued a highly conservative social agenda since taking
office.

Italy's parliament made it illegal on Wednesday for couples to go abroad to have
a baby via surrogacy — a pet project of Prime Minister's Giorgia Meloni party
that activists say is meant to target same-sex partners.

Since taking office in 2022, Meloni has pursued a highly conservative social
agenda, looking to promote what she sees as "traditional family values," making
it progressively harder for LGBTQ+ couples to become legal parents.

The upper house Senate voted into law a bill proposed by Meloni's Brothers of
Italy party by 84 votes to 58. The bill was already approved by the lower house
last year.

The legislation extends a surrogacy ban already in place in Italy since 2004 to
those who go to countries such as the United States or Canada, where it is
legal, imposing jail terms of up to two years and fines of up to one million
euros ($1.49 million Cdn).

"Motherhood is absolutely unique, it absolutely cannot be surrogated, and it is
the foundation of our civilization," Brothers of Italy Senator Lavinia Mennuni
said during the parliamentary debate.

"We want to uproot the phenomenon of surrogacy tourism."

Legal in Canada

In Canada, as many as one-third of surrogate pregnancies have international
intended parents, according to a 2020 study published in the Journal of
Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada.

"The internet has been demonstrated to be a major source of information for
intended parents, with Canada presented as a desirable destination," note the
study authors.

As the consultancy website Surrogacy In Canada explains, Canada may be be seen
as a "preferable country for surrogacy" due to its "altruistic surrogacy
legislation, high standard of health care and supportive environment for
intended parents and surrogates."

Under Canadian regulations, surrogacy is legal, but there are rules surrounding
what can and can't be paid to surrogates. For instance, you can't offer to pay
or advertise payment for someone to be a surrogate. However, surrogates may be
paid for medical and some other expenses related to the pregnancy.

Earlier this year, Meloni called surrogacy an "inhuman" practice that treated
children as supermarket products, echoing a position expressed by the Catholic
Church.

On Tuesday, demonstrators gathered near the Senate voicing their outrage at the
bill, saying the Italian government was lashing out at LGBTQ+ people and
damaging those who wanted to have children, despite Italy's sharply declining
birth rate.
A 'monstrous law'

"If someone has a baby, they should be given a medal. Here, instead, you are
sent to jail ... if you don't have children in the traditional way," Franco
Grillini, a long-time activist for LGBTQ+ rights in Italy, told Reuters at the
demonstration.

Rainbow Families president Alessia Crocini said 90 per cent of Italians who
choose surrogacy are heterosexual couples, but they mostly do so in secret,
meaning the new ban would de facto affect only gay couples who cannot hide it.

The clampdown on surrogacy comes against the backdrop of falling birthrates,
with national statistics institute ISTAT saying in March that births had dropped
to a record low in 2023 — the 15th consecutive annual decline.

"This is a monstrous law. No country in the world has such a thing," said
Grillini, referring to the government's move to prevent Italians from taking
advantage of practices that are perfectly legal in some countries.
