I loved hearing about the Dublin Front Runners  role in their early relationship.  I have hilarious visions of poor Gearoid trying to trail after Seamus!  True love!Together, we explore the barriers to surrogacy in Ireland for all types of couples.  Gearoid shares the perspective of two gay men.  We chat about the best places to find informatin and support.  We consider the legal, practical, ethical, and emotional aspects of their journey.We discuss Gearoid's role as a spokesperson for Irish Gay Dads and Equality for Children and the work of the Assisted Human Reproduction Coalition in the face of legislative change.  Surrogacy is currently not legislated for in Ireland. The coalition are passionate about protecting everyone involved in surrogacy by imploring the government to take swift action to address the issue.  Legal Frameworks should be put in place to protect everyone, from the biological parents, the intended parents, the sperm or egg donors, the surrogate, and most importantly the children.We chat about the the differences between altruistic, compensated, and commercial surrogacy and how best to protect everyone involved in the journey.  Ignoring that surrogacy is happening globally is in nobodies interest.  Including surrogacy in the Assisted Human Reproduction Bill is the swiftest and most appropriate way to address the risks involved for families and their surrogates.  I believe it is essential to ensure we have equality and security for all children in Ireland.This podcast is brought to you by www.wonderbaba.ieSale!Covid-19 Antigen Lollipop Test€1.95 €5.95Read moreSale!Salin Plus Air Purifier (Salt Therapy) – Respiratory Health€117.45 €160.00Add to basket Hosted on Acast.
