Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy
Potential Double Standards in Protections for Surrogate Mothers in Domestic Arrangements: Discussion
Dr. Brian Tobin:
With the involvement of the Adoption Authority of Ireland, not really. They are different processes. There are court process to that as well. The Adoption Authority of Ireland would be involved, too. I only recommend it retrospectively to sort out people who are in a pickle at present. Going forward, we probably need to consider some sort of parental order system for domestic and international surrogacy. I know it has been recommended for domestic surrogacy, but let us try to get everyone involved.
