A year ago Myriam, a 39-year-old American woman, gave birth to a Catalan baby, the son of a homosexual couple, through surrogacy, action better known as "rent belly".
The news is "news", precisely because in Spain it is not legal to give up the uterus to gestate an alien baby while in the United States it is and for that reason, although Myriam has no qualms about explaining why he has given up his belly even in twice, he is surprised to have to argue it.
She explains that yielded his uterus as others give his kidney. Since she only put the container and not the egg, she was always clear that the baby she was pregnant was not his. The incentive is that in your uterus "Harbored the happiness of others".
In the United States, as we said, it is a known practice. Myriam, mother of two girls, was already a surrogate mother years ago when a friend of his told her that she could not have children and she offered to do so. On that occasion Sofia was born, who is now four years old.
The experience was so positive that she became an advisor to other rental mothers until she felt the need to repeat the experience. Then, through the Circles agency, he met Eduard and Vicent, a homosexual couple from Barcelona who had been thinking about having a child for some time (something almost impossible through international adoption if we take into account that many countries do not allow adoption to gay couples or single men). A year later, the parents and Joan returned to Spain.
Now, a year later, the two parents and the surrogate mother have met and explained their case and the contractual and economic difficulties (the process has cost them about $ 65,000) that involves having a child with a woman who gives up her uterus. In any case, the couple refuses to talk about money, more when they look at their son Joan and come “How beautiful it is”.
I think the most noteworthy of the news are Myriam's reasons for being a rental mother twice: make two people happy. As he explains, there are moments impossible to explain and describe and see the faces of some parents taking that baby who without his help would not have been born, is one of them.
