7. As a result of changes to surrogacy laws in India, babies in Australia may be left stateless and unable to leave India. In the past, many gay and de facto heterosexual couples have used Indian surrogates to conceive a child. A DNA test was all that was required to bring the children home. But the laws in India changed last year and now couples can only get a visa if they’ve been married for two years, meaning the children of couples who commissioned surrogates before the law changes happened may be left stateless.
