Over-80s applying to be legal parents to surrogate children
Men and women over the age of 80 are applying to become the legal parents of surrogate children, according to official figures. Data released by Cafcass, the government agency that represents children's interests in the courts, revealed that between 2020 and 2025 several men over 80 applied for court orders to legally recognise them as the parents of surrogate babies. The figures also show that in the same time frame there were applications from men aged 70-79 and women aged 60-69, 70-79 and over 80. Cafcass declined to specify exactly how many applications for 'parental orders' there were from men and women in these particular age brackets on the grounds that there were less than six in each year of the five-year period.
