Designer Baby: A Surrogacy Journey From Fashion to Fatherhood

“When Aaron meets Jayson Brunsdon, one of Australias leading fashion figures, they both dream of becoming fathers one day — a difficult and risky prospect few same-sex couples at the time dare. Together they build the Jayson Brunsdon brand from nothing into one of the most eponymous labels in Australia, worn by Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and Jennifer Hawkins. Jayson quickly rises to fame, survives cancer, and the label traverses the highs and lows of the fashion industry. They lose everything, and rebuild it all again. In 2014, a story on 60 Minutes inspires them to take the plunge into parenthood via surrogacy — a controversial act in Australia, but a possibility in Thailand. What follows is a challenging journey filled with hope, chaos and determination — reaching its peak when halfway through their pregnancy Thailand outlaws surrogacy, and Aaron and Jayson face the shattering prospect that they might not be able to bring their beautiful baby boy home, whilst being relentlessly hounded by the media. Designer Baby is a heartwarming and inspiring personal story about the strength of family, the universal love of parents, and an uplifting reminder to never lose sight of your dreams.” (publisher’s blurb)

Sophie (Zoe) Benjamin (1882-1962), born in Adelaide, then studying and working in Sydney, was a trailblazer of parent and sex education and a pioneer of kindergarten education, emphasizing the importance of play in learning. In 1910 she launched the Australian Kindergarten Magazine. She was a lecturer in Psychology and Education and later vice-principal of the Sydney Kindergarten and Preparatory Teachers’ College. As well as publishing books on children and parenting, she did radio programmes for the A.B.C. This book deals with children’s behavioural problems. “Among the many subjects discussed are Sex Education, Eating and Sleeping Habits, Play and Constructive Discipline.” (from the jacket.) With a foreword by Irene Sebire.
