Overview
- Spanish actress Ana Obregón shared new Instagram messages for Mother's Day and for her granddaughter Anita's birthday, calling herself a "grandmother-mother".
- She wrote to mothers who have lost children and said love is the greatest force, presenting the posts as a way to live with grief.
- Anita was born in the United States in 2023 using an egg donor and her late son Aless Lequio's frozen sperm, and Obregón later adopted the child in Spain.
- Spain bans surrogacy, yet it recognizes children born abroad through adoption, which is how Anita is legally Obregón's daughter.
- The case drew rebukes from officials who oppose surrogacy, including then equality minister Irene Montero and Presidency Minister Félix Bolaños, while Obregón says the child restored her sense of purpose.
