Taiwan emerges as new market for LGBT+ surrogacy after gay marriage law

Taiwan became the first place in Asia to legalise gay marriage this year.

“Having a child in the world to care for, who will return our love unconditionally, is an amazing experience we did not expect to have,” Li told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. Taiwan’s Assisted Reproduction Act forbids any form of surrogacy and any attempts to amend laws, as recently as 2017, have failed due to opposition from women and children’s rights groups.

“Part of the community is celebrating, while part of the community has a lot of fighting to do,” said Chu Chiajong, administrative secretary of the TLFRA. About 320 people attended, forcing the organisers to request a space twice the size of the room originally booked. He said clients from Taiwan had gone from zero a few years ago to dozens coming to the United States for surrogacy, with Taiwan culture placing high importance on family blood lines.Tsou Tzung-han, 35, a journalist in Taipei, and his husband, who works in logistics management for a technology company, bought a 40-year-old apartment that needed work rather than a dream new flat and stopped holidays to save money for surrogacy.
