I would say equating every international surrogacy with an exploitative situation and making assumptions about countriesen masse stigmatises children and equips haters with reasons to hate them. My daughter is very proud and knows everything about her origins. We were fortunate in that we had assistance to carry out due diligence that perhaps others would not have had. That is why I want to have them stitched into any legislation. She is very proud that her mother gets to travel the journey to change the law in Ireland to recognise the legitimacy and pride that is warranted from her birth.
