FAMILY MONEY
When you want a baby badly but can’t conceive, what are your choices? The options include adoption in Australia or from overseas, or finding someone to have your child through a surrogacy arrangement.
All these paths can be complex and an emotional roller-coaster. They can take several years from starting the application process to receiving a baby or child. Eligibility is stringent and there are complicated legal issues. Costs can vary widely, too.
Intended parents all have different experiences. For Owen Craven who, with his partner Sean Gallagher, successfully navigated all the hurdles and costs of surrogacy, having his wonderful daughter, Indigo, is definitely worth it.
