Fertility Law with Kathleen – Episode 3
“Navigating Surrogacy in BC, Canada”
Are you an international intended parent exploring surrogacy in Canada? My latest YouTube video homes in on surrogacy in British Columbia (BC), providing essential legal guidance for families from around the world. In this episode, Vancouver Fertility and Surrogacy Lawyer Kathleen Adams discusses the latest Canadian research on surrogates’ mental health, the Tokyo Declaration and its impact on international surrogacy, and the upcoming “White Paper” on Part 3 of the Family Law Act.
We cover the complexities of Canadian surrogacy law, including legal restrictions, permissible expenses, and the importance of comprehensive surrogacy agreements. Learn about the surrogacy process for single men, gay couples, and those experiencing infertility, with a focus on inclusivity and legal protection. The video also explains the practical steps for registering a birth in BC, post-birth legalities, and how to ensure your parental rights are recognized both in Canada and internationally.
Whether you are a surrogate or an intended parent from abroad, this resource offers clear, up-to-date information to help you navigate the Canadian surrogacy process smoothly and legally. Watch now to stay informed and empowered on your family-building journey.

In my second video, I enlist the help of my fellow fertility lawyer to educate on a broad variety of topics under the fertility law umbrella. This casual discussion with my friend and colleague, Melissa Salfi, owner of Conception Law, takes you from A to Z: from assisted reproductive technology to Gen Z’s approach to fertility and reproductive health.

I’m breaking down everything we know so far about this new initiative, explaining what’s available on the BC government’s website.
