Overseas surrogacy arrangements are taking place in an unregulated environment that is exposing babies and the women who carry them to a higher risk of bad health outcomes, a study shows.

Researchers surveyed 259 participants of surrogacy support groups about their experiences, 43 per cent of whom had engaged in compensated surrogacy arrangements overseas.

A large proportion of surrogates had multiple pregnancies and there was a steep rate of premature birth, which would have been avoided if the surrogacy had taken place in Australia.

Among those who had engaged in overseas surrogacy, 55 per cent reported that their surrogate had a multiple pregnancy, 45 per cent of the births were premature and 10 per cent of the pregnancies had ended in a late miscarriage or perinatal death.

The multiple birth rate in surrogacy arrangements in Australia is 5 per cent.

The findings, published in the Medical Journal of Australia, follow the exposure of an Australian couple who abandoned their disabled son with his Thai surrogate mother while they took his healthy twin sister home to Perth.
