Yesterday they reaffirmed that position.

This international #surrogacy arrangement in America ended in a 4 year adoption court case in the UK. Why?
Because the man who was the genetic father and sole commissioning parent deceived the surrogate mother and had the child moved across borders.

This is the 3rd case that has come to light of older commissioning parents from the UK obtaining a baby from abroad in the last 10 months.
Laws here allow it as there are no restrictions on international surrogacy (as there are with adoption) and no upper age limits are imposed.
