“I was not a miracle. I was a contract.”

I was born through surrogacy. This book tells the story too often missing from the debate: the child’s.

In Search of My Mother is finally available in English. 📖

Please repost, children deserve to be heard.

A major ruling against surrogacy!

Spain’s Supreme Court has upheld the refusal to register children born through surrogacy in Ukraine, reaffirming that the desire to have a child, however noble, can NEVER come at the expense of another human being’s fundamental rights.

The Court also denounced the contradiction of prohibiting surrogacy in Spain while allowing legal loopholes that enable the practice to continue abroad.

Together with @ADFIntl and the @CasaDeclaration , we brought together 105 organizations from 31 countries, including feminist groups, child rights advocates and faith-based organizations, to urge the UN to address the risks to women and children in all forms of surrogacy.

Thank you to everyone who signed our joint letter and made this possible.

A draft UN General Assembly resolution is about to call on governments to prevent trafficking for the sale of children, including in the context of surrogacy.

But only if it’s "exploitative commercial." 🧵
