|History='''Surrogacy'''
Generally the birth mother is considered the mother of a child regardless of agreement, and she is permitted to change her mind. 
However, in a case heard in the Supreme Court regarding a commercial surrogacy arrangement, a surrogate mother was not permitted to keep the baby when she and her partner changed their mind. The judge found that the surrogate mother lacked good character, having "sold" her baby and that the interests of the child were that the commissioning persons should have custody.
