"My Baby's Dad Is My Son"...Nationwide Actor Sparks Uproar in Spain with Surrogate Controversy Confession

Ana Obregon (68) Reveals Child Born via Surrogate
"Not My Daughter but Granddaughter," Shocking Interview
Surrogacy Illegal in Spain... Heated Local Controversy

The Spanish national actress who stirred the entire country with the 'surrogate mother controversy' has once again turned the nation upside down by revealing the identity of the child's father.

On the 5th (local time), according to the British BBC and other media, Spanish actress and broadcaster Ana Obregon (68) said in an interview with the magazine 'Hola', "The child obtained through surrogacy is not my daughter but my granddaughter," adding, "The biological father is my son who passed away three years ago."

Born in 1955 and aged 68, Obregon recently sparked a major controversy when a photo of her holding a newborn baby in front of a hospital in Miami, USA, was published in a local magazine.

Obregon's son, 'Ales,' reportedly passed away from cancer in May 2020 at the age of 27.

She detailed the surrogacy process undertaken to fulfill her son's last wish to leave descendants.

Obregon used frozen sperm stored by her son in New York during his lifetime and recently had a 'granddaughter' through a Cuban surrogate mother living in Florida.

Obregon said, "The child is Ales's daughter. When she grows up, I will tell her that her father was a hero so she can be proud of him and know who she is."

After sharing this interview on social media, she called out her son's name and said, "Ales, I vowed to protect you from cancer but couldn't keep that promise," adding, "Holding (your daughter) feels like holding you again, an indescribable feeling. I will care for her with infinite love, please help us from heaven."

Currently staying in Miami, USA, Obregon is reported to plan to complete the adoption procedures for her 'granddaughter' at the Spanish consulate in the US before returning to Spain.

Spanish media competed to cover her story, featuring photos of Obregon holding the child on their front pages. The Spanish magazine Lecturas ran a special feature on the child's surrogate mother.

Additionally, Obregon revealed that she is open to the possibility of giving her granddaughter siblings.

"Using a surrogate mother to satisfy selfish desires..." Strong criticism in Spain

Last week, news that Obregon had obtained a child through surrogacy sparked fierce debate in Spain.

The Spanish Minister of Equality criticized, "Surrogacy is not legal in Spain," adding, "In our country, it is legally considered a form of violence against women."

The Minister of Equality particularly mentioned women used as surrogates, emphasizing, "We must not forget the reality that these women face poverty, crisis, or unstable situations."

The Minister of Budget also condemned it as "another act of exploiting women's bodies," and another minister stated, "You should not buy or rent a woman's body with money to satisfy someone's selfish desires."

Obregon countered by saying that surrogacy is a legal reproductive system recognized in many countries worldwide.

She argued that for sexual minorities, single parents, and infertile couples, surrogacy is one of the few realistic options available.
