Bid for legal rights over twins born to surrogate mum

A woman is making a court bid to have legal rights over her two toddler twins that were born via a surrogate in India.

The twin boy and girl were brought back to Co Clare three years ago by the woman and her partner, both in their 50s, within a few weeks of them being born to the surrogate.

The twins, now aged three, were born through sperm donated by the woman’s partner, while the eggs were donated by another Indian woman — not the surrogate.
