PKHL Speaking At Major Surrogacy Event

surrogacy-event-2-1
Annette Hickey and the Surrogacy and Fertility Law team at Poe Kiely Hogan Lanigan are delighted to be participating in and speaking at a major Surrogacy event next month in Athlone.

The event, which will take place on Saturday, 8th February in the Hodson Bay Hotel from 2pm to 4pm, has been created as a forum for anyone with an interest in Surrogacy to come along and hear about the speakers own experiences within the field of Surrogacy. It will also be a great place for interested people to meet, share stories and ask any questions which they may have in a safe, private and relaxed environment.

The three keynote speakers are:

beckyBecky Loftus

Becky, herself a recent Surrogate mother, is a strong advocate for Surrogacy in Ireland and is a regular spokesperson on TV, Radio and Print media. Most recently she was a guest on The Late Late Show where she talked about her own Surrogacy journey, the most common questions which people tend to ask and the lack of credible information for both intending couples and women considering becoming surrogate mother.
