This week one of our patients who earlier tried ivf with donor eggs at our clinic and did not succeed wanted to continue the process with the help of a surrogate mother.
due to the new Visa regulations we were in a bit of a quandry because they needed a letter from the government of Tanzania stating that once the baby/babies will be born for this couple they will grant them citizenship and passport.
after a lot of trying they were able to get this documents and will be coming for treatment in june/july.
similarly a lot of our patients were amongst the first to be able to get this letter of recognition-Angola,Barbados,Argentina,Brasil.this helped streamline the process for other clinics as well and made the procss easier for their patients.

The surrogacy subject arose during Sunday’s national congress. LLH believe it should be an equal option with other forms of assisted reproduction.
“For many of our members, this is the way they can create a family with their own biological ties,” Bard Nylund, head of LLH said to VÃ¥rt Land.
Norwegians currently travel abroad so they can start their own family, as surrogacy is illegal in Norway.
It is estimated that 150 Norwegian children were born by surrogacy in countries such as India or the United States.
Legal rights will only be generally granted to parents under Norwegian law if one of the parents are residents of Norway when a child is born outside the geographic boundaries of the country in these cases.
Another issue is that adoption may be required to obtain legal rights as parents in cases where parenthood cannot be granted under the Norwegian law.
At the same time, homosexuals are losing out when it comes to adopting children.
“There are many countries that will not adopt to same-sex couples, which consequently means this is only a possibility on paper,” Mr Nylund explained.

A GAY couple from Danbury will be propelled into the nation’s living
rooms this Monday when a TV series about their surrogacy company begins.
Barrie, 43, and Tony Drewitt-Barlow, 49, hit the headlines in 2000 when they became Britain’s first gay surrogate parents. They now have five children and are considered ‘the most famous gay dads in the country’.
Since their first child, the couple have set up their own surrogacy company – the British Surrogate Centre – to help other couples throughout Europe have a child.
The show will follow the trials and tribulations of the company, highlighting the good times and the tearful times. It was the brainchild of fellow Essex lad David Van Day, former member of band Guys’n’Dolls.
Of the show, Barrie said: “You can’t help, but get emotional with some of the stories you hear coming into our office. But it’s also important for people to see the horror stories, like seeing innocent people getting ripped off by agencies.
“We’ve done one hour shows in the past, but this time filming is for a whole series and took about ten months. For the first time people will be
The couple are parents to one girl, Saffron, and four boys, Dallas, Orlando, Aspen, and Jasper, and became one of the first gay couples to get married when it was leglaised in March.
However Barrie found the day a bit of an anti-climax, preferring the couples civil partnership at Hylands House ceremony in 2006.
He said: “Tony was sick with cancer at the time, so it meant more. We didn’t know if he would be around.”
*The show starts on Monday, May 26, on Showcase, Sky channel 192.
