That memory became her mission.

Ana arranged the surrogacy in the United States—where it’s legal—and later adopted the baby, securing legal guardianship back home.

Obregón insists the decision was made to honor her son Aless Lequio, who died of cancer at just 27.

“He told me before he died he wanted to leave a legacy,” she told reporters in 2023. “I only fulfilled his dream.”

Obregón was initially vague about the child’s origins, later confirming Anita is Aless’ biological daughter.

“Anita is Aless’ daughter,” she said. “When she grows up, I’ll tell her her dad was a hero.”

“There are stuffed animals everywhere,” she said. “A ball pit too. She makes me dive in with her.”

“My back hurts when I carry her,” she confessed. “It’s getting harder, but I wouldn’t trade it.”

Many have questioned the ethics of her decision, labeling it unnatural, selfish—even dystopian.

One Spanish lawmaker even referred to the act as “a form of reproductive tourism.”

“People talk without understanding,” she said. “They weren’t there when I held my son’s hand as he died.”

Obregón continues to stand by her decision, saying love—not biology—is what defines a family.

Some called it brave. Others called it grotesque. Ana just called it “love.”

“I have more fears now. More than I had when I was younger.”

She’s pledged to raise Anita with Aless’ values, his humor, his fire.

She’s written letters. Saved videos. Preserved every trace of Aless to pass on one day.

Whether people agree or not, Ana Obregón has done what few others could—or would.
