Who we are

Irish Families Through Surrogacy (IFTS) is a group of Irish parents who have had or are planning to have children through surrogacy. We are a voluntary organisation, campaigning for our children and future children born through surrogacy to have the protection and benefits of a legally recognised relationship with both parents like all other Irish children.​

Legislation Campaign

Our current focus is on the the upcoming Health Bill (2022) to legislate appropriately for domestic surrogacy and legislate for international surrogacy with a focus on the existing children that were born via surrogacy and have no legal recognition with one of their parent.

Support for Parents

We have a community of parents and intended parents that are helping each other on their pregnancy journey and beyond.
