Ms Jefford said if the surrogate reneged on the arrangement, the intended parents could take action in the Family Court."It doesn't matter who provides the genetic material … the legal perspective is the same." Narelle Dickinson, a clinical psychologist and fertility counsellor, said discussions before a surrogacy could proceed needed to include the impact of the parties' physical and mental health.
