Canada surrogacy — how one family crossed closed borders during COVID to bring their daughter home, and how nutrition can shape fertility outcomes.

Stephen Page, Multi-award winning surrogacy lawyer and accredited family law specialist at Page Provan, reconnects at the Growing Families Conference in Sydney with Valeria Viademonte of Via Fertility, a former client and now a fertility dietitian.

In this episode:

  • How Valeria and other intended parents crossed the closed Canadian border in 2020 with the help of a collective legal effort led by Canadian surrogacy lawyers
  • Why Australian citizenship applications for children born overseas were processed in days rather than weeks during the pandemic
  • How Valeria's own surrogacy journey led her to specialise as a fertility dietitian
  • How nutrition can influence egg quality, sperm quality and embryo implantation
  • Why the "first thousand days" — from preconception to age two — matters for long-term health through epigenetics
