SocietyQueensland woman gives birth to twins with different biological parents after natural pregnancy coincides with surrogacy

A Queensland woman became pregnant naturally around the time she received an IVF embryo transfer as a surrogate, giving birth by caesarean section to both children on the same day in November 2025. The Queensland Children’s Court ruled they were gestational twins but not “birth siblings” under surrogacy law, formalising each child’s biological parentage.
