Recognise same-sex partners as legal parents of children born via surrogacy
Currently, UK law still recognises the surrogate as the legal mother (and their partner as the father if they have one), despite neither having any biological connection to the baby. This can lead to a lengthy court process costing thousands of pounds to be recognised as legal parents.
Allow EU children of British parents to be sponsored under EU Settlement Scheme
We wish the Government to allow EU children of British nationals the opportunity to be sponsored under the EU Settlement Scheme.

We ask the Government to change the law so parents can register the birth and death of babies carried beyond 24 weeks, even if they passed earlier. Families deserve recognition and dignity, not the miscarriage label, for the babies they carried and gave birth to.
