How far is it and how trifling it already seems at the dawn of this Wednesday that Isabel Pantoja dance alongside the Grimaldis at Monaco’s decadent Rose Ball! The guilt of the sudden death of the ephemeral news made to measure widow of paquirri the has a birth that will give for many more headlines and more television programs and debates than the dance of the mother of Kiko Rivera in Monte Carlo: that of little Ana, daughter of the actress Ana Obregon, who, at the age of 68, becomes a mother by surrogate pregnancy, a privilege that her economic power and US laws have allowed her and that will undoubtedly be a consolation and a reason to live, very important for a woman who lost her wanting to be on Earth when her son left on a tragic Wednesday, May 13, 2020, at just 27 years old. Only the joy of Ana Obregón it will be bigger than the debate that is going to be revived around surrogacy.
Because many people will agree that the actress has the right to fulfill that dream of being a mother again if that is her consolation and her desire, but what about all the anonymous people who have gone through similar tragedies and cannot afford it because in Spain it is not legal and to achieve it it is necessary to have the means to do it abroad?
Aless Lequio’s sister is called Ana, like her mother
The sister of Alesswhich the young man, unfortunately, will not have the privilege of knowing, is the first great news that may perhaps lift Obregón, who has only lived these three years to mourn his son, work to carry out his projects, as his unfinished book or his foundation, remember him every day and take care of his nonagenarian parents in the last moments of their lives.
Ana Obregon she was devastated like any mother or father who loses a child. Let’s hope that little Ana gives her love, strength, enthusiasm and work (changing diapers for the moment) enough to fill the life of such a young woman, because 68 years is nothing.
Ana and her daughter will stay for a while in Miami, in a flat that Obregón has rented facing the sea. But when the actress Ana and the seven Arrive in Spain will be quite an event. Once the secret was revealed to public opinion (only her sisters, Celia and Amalia, and Alessandro Lequio knew of Ana’s intentions and plans) the presence of the actress and her story will concentrate as much press and attract the attention of as many cameras as Tamara Falco e Inigo Onieva his wedding day.
Fortunately, her status as a minor will protect the girl, but Ana’s prominence in the media will focus on her many questions and her words will be sought after as much as her images with the baby, only now the paparazzi’s targets will be looking for a smile and not for it. tear.
surrogacy
To make matters worse, the topic is being debated because in Spain surrogacy is not legally possible. Hence, those who want to become mothers or fathers through this system have no choice but to leave Spain. This requires a colossal financial expense, impossible for the vast majority of the population. Celebs known as the Baroness Thyssen, with his twins, the former big brother Kiko Hernandez, with their own or one of the producers of La Fábrica de la Tele, to give three examples, they had to disburse sums that normal families cannot afford, unless they get a lifetime mortgage and sometimes not at all. This injustice, due to the inequality it entails, is one of the arguments of those who advocate regulating surrogacy in Spain.
On the other side of the controversy are issues as dark as the so-called mother farms, which exist in some countries. These centers are described as places where, to put it briefly and crudely, they establish farrowers in a difficult economic situation, who resort to this system to earn money and satisfy the demand of rich people who want to be parents but cannot do so in their countries because the law does not allow it, as in the case of Spain.
It is legal to go abroad to resort to surrogacy
It must be made very clear that although in Spain surrogate pregnancy treatments are not allowed by the Law on Assisted Reproduction Techniques, it is totally legal for Spanish citizens to have a son or daughter this way in a country where it is regulated. as Ana Obregón has done. In other words, being parents through this treatment in places like Canada, Georgia or the United States, as Ana has done, is legal for Spanish citizens because they are governed by the legislation of the territory where the birth occurs. Before the war, Ukraine was another of those places and it was there where the most controversies arose around the so-called mother farms for surrogacy.
