I had not considered we needed to look, within this area, at the presumption of guardianship to a non-biological husband of a surrogate.

I have a question on the comment that mostly it is after the fact that the Department comes in. Should there be a register of intention so people are not waiting until after the fact? It is a long procedure for people making these decisions. Rather than a Department begin overwhelmed or coming in after the fact, should there be a register of intention so a process can begin in the interim until the legitimate process happens post birth?
