Love Makes a Family

Surrogacy is a journey that requires careful planning, research, and emotional readiness. For intended parents considering surrogacy in New Zealand or abroad, there are many legal, practical, and emotional factors. By understanding the match-making process, legal and practical considerations in Canada and the US, emotional readiness and resilience, the screening and preparation of egg donors, and the best practices for surrogate matching, intended parents can make informed decisions and embark on their surrogacy journey with confidence.

New Zealand Event Topics

Our Egg Donor / Surrogacy event in Auckland, and resources like Love Makes a Family provide a supportive and informative environment. These resources for intended parents, professionals, and IVF experts main purpose is to collaborate and share knowledge. Ultimately making surrogacy a more accessible and fulfilling journey for all.

New Zealand has a growing community of altruistic surrogates. They are willing to help intended parents achieve their dreams of parenthood. Christian Newman, a surrogacy advocate and founder of Love Makes a Family, will be at Growing Families New Zealand seminar.  He has created a platform that connects intended parents with surrogate’s in New Zealand. The platform features detailed profiles of surrogates and their families. Allowing intended parents to select a match based on their preferences. Christian believes that Love Makes a Family offers a safe and supportive environment for intended parents to find a surrogate who shares their vision.

Surrogacy is an emotionally challenging journey. To help intended parents on this journey we recommend professional counselling. Professional counseling is essential to help with the emotionally rollercoaster – to prepare and assist with resillience on their family building journey. Helen Nicholson from Repromed will address why counselling is such an important part in the preparation for surrogacy.

These are just a few of the topics that will be covered at the upcoming New Zealand event.
