Episode 21: The Adventures of Surrogacy Down Under with Stephen and Mitchell Page

Mitchell and Stephen are fun to listen to -- and not just because they have adorable Australian accents. They are also a power couple fighting to improve the lives of individuals and families in Australia. Mitchell has been a social worker for 10 years, specializing in children, mental illness and domestic violence. Stephen is a renowned lawyer focusing on family law. He handled his first surrogacy case in 1998!

Hear Stephen and Mitchell discuss:

• Their love story — from meeting to marriage, and hopefully to baby carriage in the not-too-distant future.
• Where their gestational surrogacy journey is now – embryos, carriers, and more! (including best friends and family members raising their hands to help).
• No gender reveal parties in Australia but Baby-B-Ques!
• The thorny legal environment for surrogacy in Australia.
• The complications of Australian couples going to the US (or other countries) for surrogacy.
• The fascinating first case determining when “conception” happens.
