There were emotional scenes outside Government Buildings as parents of children born through surrogacy wept with joy at the news they could become their child’s legal parents.
Fine Gael Senator Mary Seery Kearney admitted that she and other mothers of surrogate babies “cried a lot” as she said that she hopes she will be recognised as her daughter’s mother by her ninth birthday.
Her daughter Scarlett, who was born via surrogacy, is seven years old.
