Ana Sandra Lequio Obregón is the name of the girl who appeared in the arms of Ana Obregón, in some photographs published last week by the magazine ¡Hola! It is about her granddaughter, daughter of the late Alejandro Lequio GarcÃa and not her daughter, as was thought at first, as confirmed by the businesswoman, in statements to this same medium.
In that interview, Obregón has given all the details of the process, which he undertook to fulfill Aless’s last will: “The decision to start the surrogacy process, which implies, as you know, the participation of an egg donor and a pregnant woman, I took it the day my child went to heaven”.
The debate around surrogacy is open. It is not allowed in countries like Spain. Instead, others allow this practice. Among its defenders are those who justify this process, as long as it is carried out altruistically; Others also defend her, even if you have to pay a certain amount of money to get the baby.
That has been the case of Ana Obregón, who has had to pay 170,000 euros, according to the magazine Lecturas. Of that amount, the mother of the little girl would have received 35,000.
According to this information, surrogacy in the US oscillates around these prices and could reach 200,000 euros in the case of twins. The price also includes the medical expenses of pregnancy and childbirth and intermediaries. The cost could be even higher if the delivery is by caesarean section or if complications arise such as the need to place the child in an incubator.
Ana Obregón assures Hello! that he has only complied with Aless’s last wishes: “This is how he verbally communicated it to his father and me a week before he died. This is called a ‘holographic testament’ and it occurs when a person, before two witnesses, expresses his last wishes, even though, due to whatever circumstances, the notary cannot be present at that time.”
According to the actress, said document “exists and is legal.” “When my son was diagnosed with cancer and was going to start chemotherapy treatment, the doctors recommended that he save samples of his sperm, in case the drugs affect him in the future, to ensure that he can have children.” The samples have been kept in New York until June 2022, when the process began, “the same month that Aless would have turned 30.”
The wish of his son, who died in May 2020 at just 27 years of age, has been the driving force for Obregón: “Since that moment, the only thing that has allowed me to continue living every day, every second, is to fulfill the mission of bringing the world to a daughter of Aless”.
