Ana Obregón is the center of criticism and legal questions. Exclusively for the magazine Holathe 68-year-old Spanish actress has presented her newborn granddaughter at a Broward County hospital in Florida.
Her son Aless died almost three years ago, a victim of cancer, and Ana Sandra was born by surrogate motherhood, that is, thanks to a “surrogate womb” and an in vitro fertilization process, with sperm that her son had previously frozen. die.
Dr. Christina Balinotti, an expert family psychologist, says:
It is a way of reaffirming that the child continues to live, and of course, that all this has an unconscious component to reach this extreme, without looking at the consequences.
But Ana Obregón told Hola Magazine that her son wanted to have 5 children, and that this was in the form of a “holographic testament”, that is, a statement before two witnesses, so she would be making Aless’s last wishes come true.
In Spain, surrogacy is considered a form of violence against women and it is illegal to advertise these services abroad.
That is why the Spanish actress came to South Florida, where parents are not required to be residents; and the child acquires citizenship; but parents are required to consult a lawyer from their country to determine the legality of the case in that territory.
“We must think about this. According to legal issues, we can leave a child an orphan. And we can also leave an adolescent without an adequate parental figure”, Balinotti.
Ana Obregón, at 68, claims to be the grandmother, but in the legal documents she would be the mother. And despite the criticism in Spain, in South Florida.
Seda Stakemann, a South Florida resident, says:
“It is a life, and it is a joy. Something good for her. And if I can’t do it, here I can”.
The Spanish actress would not be the first mother-grandmother of a daughter of her son. There are several precedents, some of which have ended in legal limbo.
Spanish media reports that the surrogate mother of Ana Obregón’s granddaughter is a woman of Cuban origin, a Hollywood resident, who has already conceived two other children by surrogacy.
