A sharp rise in Australian children born in India shows laws criminalising commercial surrogacy are doing nothing to stop parents going overseas to find birth mothers for their children, surrogacy advocates say.
The number of citizenship requests for children born in India has risen by more than 300 per cent over the past five years, documents obtained under freedom of information show. Surrogacy Australia founder Sam Everingham said Australians were fast becoming the highest per capita users of compensated, or commercial, surrogacy, despite laws in NSW and other states criminalising it, even if it occurs overseas.

"Australia, funnily enough, has become one of the largest surrogacy markets internationally because of the perfect storm created by the lack of access to international adoption, women leaving childbirth later on and the fact we are a wealthy country and women can afford it," he said.
Mr Everingham estimated that about 100 NSW couples each year were engaging in compensated surrogacy overseas, and about 500 nationally.
Since March 2011 NSW parents who do so have risked two years' imprisonment and fines of $275,000.
Nationally, the Family Law Council is reviewing how best to deal with the legal issues posed by increasing use of surrogacy, with a report due in December.
OB-GYN Andrea Miller had a unique opportunity in 2011 — to deliver her own baby. That's because Miller's baby was being born to a surrogate mother, LaDonna Woodmansee, who carried the Miller's baby for nine months.
Instead, Miller chose stand on the sidelines of the birth experience while a close colleague delivered little Addison Miller in August of 2011. The moment the baby was born, she was swaddled and placed into the waiting arms of her mother, Andrea Miller.
There wasn't a dry eye in the delivery room as the Millers finally saw their baby. The tears were also in gratitude to Woodmansee for making the couple's dream of parenthood a reality.
“She's the real star of this story,” Steve Miller said. Woodmansee has also been a star for two other families for whom she served as a surrogate.
Laws concerning surrogacy
Woodmansee said that at age 36, she might consider one last surrogacy, but knows that any more than that could be too hard on her body. But she said if the Millers do decide to give Addison a sister or brother, she hopes to carry the baby.
“Besides having my own kids, surrogacy is the best thing I've ever done,” she said. It's not about money — in Oklahoma, laws are vague on surrogacy.
It's pretty darn clear that Jimmy Fallonloves being a daddy, but the months and years leading up to Winnie Rose's arrival were far from easy.
In an interview that aired Tuesday on Today, the Late Night host revealed that before he and wife Nancy Juvonen welcomed their daughter via surrogacy on July 23, 2013, they faced significant fertility struggles.
Mumbai: The Union Health Ministry's move to tighten rules for surrogacy through the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Bill 2010 which is to be introduced in Cabinet has created a controversy.

Nancy Juvonen Fallon and Jimmy Fallon have come out to reveal their secret that they used a surrogate to conceive their newborn baby.
The 38 year old late night TV host and his 46 year old wife have had difficulty trying to conceive, Jimmy Fallon revealed on the Today show this week, and that was their reason to use surrogacy.
However, he also explained how the couple decided to keep the surrogacy a complete secret, even from close friends and family. That meant that when daughter, Winnie Rose Fallon, was finally born then they had to be careful with how they announced her sudden arrival and not hurt any close friends' feelings.
However, they also had a little fun with how they told the world the news. A rep for Fallon said in July that they were overjoyed at being first-time parents and the "arrival of their beautiful daughter," however, the rep did not note that Nancy Juvonen Fallon did not carry Winnie.
If there is a cosmic scale that weighs the value of gifts, it has tipped mightily in Kristin Crossman’s favour. Kristin has given her life-long friend, Chantal Kahovec, an irreplaceable, life-changing gift that few would consider. About 10 years ago, Chantal was diagnosed with a cancer that left her unable to have a baby. She and her spouse John went through a procedure to have embryos frozen, in hopes of having a child through a surrogate mother. A cousin offered, but tragedy struck. Before the baby was born, the Kahovecs were told he was sick. Shortly after he was born, he died.
