Regulating Commercial Global Surrogacy: The Best Interests of the Child
Commercial surrogacy
An arrangement whereby the intending parent(s) pay the surrogate mother in excess of the actual out-of-pocket expenses.
Intercountry adoption and regulation
The countries from which children come from have changed as we as the number of children available.
Adoption shifted from a method to pro- vide parents to a child (a human right) to a method to provide a child to parents (which is not a human right).
Money making
Incites inequality
The Hague Convention
International private law developed to prevent the sale and abduction of children in the intercountry adoption process.
Article 7
Every child has the right to a name, a nationality, and to know and be cared for by her or his parents
Growth of commercial global surrogacy
Currently, there are no international laws that protect the parties to surrogacy arrangements.
Concern towards the free will of women who live in extreme poverty to participate in such activities.
Cross border issue
Need for regulation of children´s rights and the abuses occurred in CGS.
Child Rights
The right to preserves one´s identity.
The right not to be sold or trafficked.
The right to a nationality and to know your origins.
In order for the child to be protected and not be left in the limbo, there needs to be an international law that protects all involved as national laws.
Call for Action for International Regulation of Commercial Global Surrogacy
This law must protect the interests of all parties, but especially the most vulnerable: the resulting child.
