In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) surrogacy adoption
Children born as a result of in-vitro fertilisation procedures have a right to know about their origins and to be able to access information about those origins. Under New Zealand law the surrogate (and partner) are recognised as the legal parents of the child. In order for the intending parents to be recognised as the child’s legal parents they will need to apply to adopt the child.

Oranga Tamariki and the Department of Corrections can make a joint application to the Youth Court to detain a 17-year-old rangatahi in a youth unit of a prison to ensure the safety of any rangatahi in Oranga Tamariki custody.
