About the Author
"Amy Speier’s, Mobility in North American Surrogacy: A Fertile Global Industry, takes an inside look at people’s journeys on their paths to parenthood. With a primary focus on men who travel to North America with the hope of having a baby with a gestational surrogate, Speier lays out how shifting global fertility hubs intersect with geographic, socio-cultural, and economic mobilities for intended parents, surrogates, and fertility professionals. This fascinating account illuminates the complexities of cross-border reproductive travel and the relationships built between intended parents and surrogates."
