Two Fathers from Spain Share Their Surrogacy Experience

My name is Javier. I am married to Antonio, we are from Spain. Since we started our life together, we wanted to build a complete family, so having children was a part of it.

We started trying adoption, but it was a very hard and long process, so we found out some information about surrogacy. We had a lot of information, but it was very difficult to decide which state or agency was the best. Telling a good friend what we were planning to do, she told me that one of her friends, Ricardo, was just arriving in Spain with his son.  She gave me his phone number and we contacted him quickly. He told us his experience with Family Source Consultants, and when we knew his story and met his son we decided that FSC was our best option.

We contacted FSC in August 2009. We visited Chicago in October 2009, when we met the Directors of FSC, our surrogate and her family, and our egg donor it was an amazing experience and the beginning of a great dream coming true.

We had a transfer in February 2010, and Nicole got pregnant on the first attempt! 9 very long months passed, and in November we went back to Chicago for our daughter’s birth.

Our surrogate was adorable with us, she emailed us weekly telling us her feelings, changes…

Our experience with FSC couldn’t be better, they are so supportive, that we felt really safe during the process.

Our experience was so good, that the past January we had another transfer, and  Nicole is pregnant again! Our daughter Victoria will have a sibling in October,  and we feel extremely happy.

Thanks so much to all the people who are helping us build our family.
