Jen McCloy knows firsthand the joy and challenges of surrogacy - she was a surrogate for her best friend. But through her journey, she uncovered the shocking legal loopholes and unregulated black market that leave intended parents and surrogates vulnerable.

In Australia, outdated laws fail to protect both surrogates and intended parents, leading some to seek risky, unregulated alternatives. In this episode, we dive into:

• Jen’s personal experience as a surrogate and what she learned- The legal gaps in NSW and Australia that desperately need reform
• The rise of the surrogacy black market and the dangers it poses, and
• What needs to change to ensure ethical and safe surrogacy for all parties

This conversation pulls back the curtain on the reality of surrogacy in Australia—both the beautiful and the deeply flawed. Whether you’re curious about surrogacy, considering it, or just interested in women’s health, ethics, and law reform, this episode is an eye-opener.Watch, listen, and let us know your biggest takeaway.
