The Surrogacy Podcast Episode16: Brett and Stuart Brett and Stuart pursued surrogacy in Canada and their son Findlay was born with the help of a lovely Canadian surrogate. But things did not go to plan, and Findlay had to arrive at 25 weeks, with his surrogate suffering with pre-eclampsia. Brett and Stuart up-ended their lives in Sydney, and lived in Canada for more than 5 months, until Findlay was big and strong enough to travel home to Australia.

Surrogacy is altruistic in Canada, similar to Australia. Surrogates in Canada are often supported to find intended parents by agencies. Intended parents often come from around the world to pursue surrogacy in Canada.
