I had to attend something else and missed some of the earlier presentations. I apologise if I repeat questions. One of the things we have been talking about is the birth certificates and how we record these. I apologise again if I am repeating questions. What are some of the witnesses' experiences on that and being on the receiving end of these arrangements? Ms Rowley-Smith has spoken on that and I would love to hear from the other two witnesses also about their experience. How do they believe it could have been handled better or what would be the perfect system for somebody who has lived through such an experience? I apologise if that sounds awful. I will rephrase that. For somebody who has been born through surrogacy, what would be the best system for you guys?
