Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy

Issues relating to International Surrogacy Arrangements and Achieving Parental Recognition: Discussion (Resumed)

The reality of it is, at our kitchen table, even though I am not invisible to my children, in the eyes of the law I am invisible. When we have our tea and breakfast in the morning, Ivana is legally their mother in Ireland.
