In Episode One, we are joined by Andrew Coutts – the CEO of the International Fertility Company and Barrister, Andrew Powell from 4PB. Collectively we discuss the definition of surrogacy and the science involved. Together they explain the current laws in place in England and Wales and how these differ to those overseas to support both couples and individuals looking to explore and pursue that often long awaited family.
The Surrogacy Landscape Podcast is a three-part series brought to you by the Family Law team at Boodle Hatfield. The series discusses the legal implications of growing a family via surrogacy, to help couples and individuals get to grips with the landscape at the outset to ensure that their journey to parenthood is smooth and safe for all involved. The series looks at the full surrogacy lifecycle, the practicalities that need to be considered and the law that currently governs the process in the UK.
The concept of surrogacy has historically been seen as a taboo subject. As a result, it is not surprising that many may be unfamiliar with the process and the legal implications in this jurisdiction. With the ever increasing role surrogacy plays in modern families and its growth in popularity, particularly in recent times, we seek to address below some of the questions you might have about the process.
