He cautions against broad advertising, stressing that high costs should filter out those without serious financial backing, or risk postnatal care gaps. Legay urges companies to be more selective and for the government to issue a firm warning, not regulation, to prompt greater diligence. He clarifies that while children born in Barbados gain citizenship, parents don’t automatically get residency—and many returnees are already helping the island through heritage claims.
