Toni Street shares exciting baby news

New Zealand broadcaster Toni Street reveals baby boy Lachlan, born via a surrogate is now legally her son.

Earlier this year baby Lachlan Stephen France was born via surrogate Sophie Braggins, and while the adorable little boy was the biological son of Street and her husband Matt, he needed to be legally adopted by them. And, today that officially happened when mum, dad and baby went before a judge to have everything approved legally.

“Super special day for our family… Lachlan Stephen France has had his morning in court and is now legally our son! Big thank you to Judge Druce & our lawyer Zandra Wackenier for being so warm & making the process less daunting.. but most of all thank you sophiebraggins & michaelbraggins for this precious gift,” Street wrote in the post.

In September Street wrote in an Instagram post that she had signed a change.org petition for the New Zealand Adoption Act to be updated.

“It is incredibly hard for loving parents to adopt in this country and our vulnerable children deserve better,” she wrote.
