The Australian Surrogacy Handbook

surrogacy handbook

Your free copy of the Australian Surrogacy Handbook is available for download here!

Hi! I’m Sarah Jefford. I’m a surrogacy, fertility and family lawyer. I’m also an IVF Mum, an egg donor and a traditional surrogate, and I delivered a baby for her Dads in 2018. I advocate for positive, empowered altruistic surrogacy arrangements within Australia, and provide support and education to help intended parents make informed decisions when pursuing overseas surrogacy.

If you are a woman considering becoming a surrogate, you can book in for a free consult with me to find out if surrogacy is right for you and your family.

  • The only surrogacy handbook in Australia, for intended parents and surrogates

  • Free and downloadable

  • Written by a surrogate and surrogacy lawyer

  • Completely revised in June 2024

  • Everything you need to get started

If you would like a deep-dive into surrogacy arrangements, you can purchase my book, More Than Just a Baby: A Guide to Surrogacy for Intended Parents and Surrogates, the only guide to surrogacy in Australia.

If you are interested in reading more about surrogacy and donor conception, including the laws and processes and my personal experiences, check out the Blog, and listen to the Surrogacy Podcast, which shares stories from intended parents and surrogates from around Australia.
