We’re so thrilled to see this interview with Christian which shines a light on the reality of #surrogacy. “I feel like I signed a contract with Satan and I sold my soul away when I did this because it has been nothing but hell since the moment I started taking those injections till this very moment right now.” Surrogate mothers are speaking up and when one woman bravely steps forward, more follow. Christian now advocates against this harmful practice and invites contact from women who also have regret, please get in touch with @supprt90668 and watch the full interview from @EWTNews also featuring @kal_fell from @CBCnetwork. youtu.be/O3RSp4LsY3A?is=nves… nitter.gq/supprt90668?s=11

**Update** on another US scandal uncovered in 2023 by @FingerLakes1: "Woman accused of forging documents to arrange a surrogacy without her husband’s knowledge has pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor charges." fingerlakes1.com/2026/10/25/… MaryBeth Lewis, a 69 year old nurse from NYC already had 13 children (including children born from donated gametes) when she commissioned twins through #surrogacy using donor embryos. She allegedly forged her husband's signature on legal documents and impersonated him during a court hearing to secure parental rights. The twins were placed in foster care during the legal proceedings. Since then, the children have been returned to the care of Mr and Mrs Lewis while the foster parents continue to contest the outcome. The New York Times is paywalled so we share this for more background: people.com/mom-who-faced-fel…

Baby Poppy was born through surrogacy and was just over 2 months old when along with among 20 other children, she was removed from a California mansion amid serious child-abuse allegations. Mother Tronderrica James, says she was lied to, suffered a life-threatening birth and was prevented from saying goodbye to her baby. This is #surrogacy.

Well, this is rather fabulous. “A blood donor gives blood. A kidney donor gives a kidney. A surrogate mother does not give parenthood. She transfers a child…It is remarkably easy to celebrate a woman’s sacrifice when it is somebody else’s body being sacrificed.” Bravo @cleancitybird 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Last month, along with our co-campaigners, we wrote to the Joint Committee on Health and to the Board of the Assisted Human Reproduction Regulatory Authority in Ireland. All three questions were left in answered in their reply (received 13th October). There is no statutory bar, no checks on coercion abroad and no declarations of interests.
