China's LGBTQAI+ Couples Completing Their Families Using Surrogacy

Surrogacy and LGBTQAI+ rights, both lie in the legally grey area in a socially conservative China. But there are couples like Hanson and Wu, a gay couple from Beijing, who are willing to take the risk to build their family.

It only took two years for Hanson and Wu, to hold their baby, after they opted for surrogacy. Hanson and Wu are part of China’s LGBTQAI+ community, which is estimated to be the largest in the world.

The Chinese state neither denounces, nor promotes LGBTQAI+ individuals, but the population is not legally allowed to marry or adopt as a couple. Couples who want to have a child are forced to seek surrogates and fertility treatment abroad - which are prohibitively expensive.
