[Australia] - Seminars - EGG DONATION AND SURROGACY IN AMERICA with Daniel A. Potter, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

Gay Dads Australia often gets notifications of seminars being held in Australia by overseas Surrogacy/IVF agencies.  We will happily announce them on the Gay Dads Australia website however any announcements are not endorsements.  

We know that for Aussie gay dads-to-be - getting to contact and meet agencies in other countries if often only possible by phone, skype or jumping on a plane!  The opportunity to meet an agency in Australia doesn't come around often and we encourage dads-to-be to take advantage of the opportunity to meet and ask lots of questions. To find out more about, please read below.
