A media personality who’s gone through surrogacy says removing the courts from the process would be a game-changer.
The Law Commission’s made 63 recommendations to simplify New Zealand’s surrogacy framework.
Toni Street says the original law is from 1955 and change is long overdue.
She says the best amendment is the one to the legal requirements of intending parents.
Street told Mike Hosking they are the biological parents, but they had to wait until he was three months old before they could adopt him.
She says that means for those three months they couldn’t get a medical appointment without the say-so of their surrogate.
