Overview

La conmovedora historia de un hombre que siempre quiso ser padre y el largo camino que finalmente culminó en un sueño hecho realidad

Armando Lucas Correa lo tenía todo: un trabajo increíble como el editor de People en Español, una pareja estable y una vida llena de viajes y entrevistas con glamorosos celebridades. Pero con el nuevo milenio, algo cambió. Se le despertó un sueño enterrado en su alma desde sus primeros años de vida en Cuba: el sueño de ser padre.

Luego de una extensa investigación de todas sus posibilidades, optó por la subrogación. El método fue largo, arduo y costoso, con pruebas, trámites y decisiones que parecían interminables, pero con la ayuda de la ciencia, una donante de óvulos, una madre gestacional, muchísima paciencia y el apoyo incondicional de su pareja y familia, finalmente llegó su hija Emma.

En busca de Emma es una historia real, increíble y hermosa del viaje agotador y emocionante que llevó a un hombre a convertirse en padre. Nada lo frenó y, sabiendo que su familia no sería la clásica y tradicional, igual siguió adelante y cumplió su sueño, tomando todos los retos y los altibajos emocionales como el fuego que lo avivó e impulsó a seguir adelante para finalmente encontrar a Emma.

    No hay un amor mas grande

    NOTA: los TILDES han sido quitados porque B&N no los reconoce y he tenido que escribir "nigno", "agnos", etc. Porque tampoco reconoce la letra respectiva, la que va después de la N (es decir, tendría que escribir "feliz agno nuevo", para que entiendan a que letra me refiero).


    Lo primero que note, apenas leer las primeras palabras de "En busca de Emma", fue el amor que inunda cada pagina de esta historia. Amor de pareja, de familia, a los amigos y, sobre todo, un amor inmenso e incomparable por su hija. Una hija a la que el autor vio en un suegno y que, aunque no creia en ellos, en ese momento supo que un dia tendria en sus brazos y busco incansablemente por mas de cinco agnos.


    En la Introduccion, Armando Lucas Correa dice que uno de los objetivos de este libro es ser una ayuda para quienes, como el, podrian encontrar en la ciencia una alternativa para ser padres o madres. Sin embargo para mi, que jamas he considerado esa opcion (que ni siquiera estoy planeando tener hijos), resulto igualmente especial y emocionante. Me hizo pensar que antes de tener un hijo toda persona deberia leer este libro y preguntarse si lo desea con la intensidad que Armando (el autor) y Gonzalo (su pareja) deseaban el suyo. Porque esa es la clase de amor y de alegria con que todo nigno deberia llegar a este mundo. Estoy segura que muchos le envidiaran a Emma el haber sido tan amada y tan esperada desde mucho antes de existir.


    Ademas de conmover, "En busca de Emma" tiene la virtud de contar el proceso de subrogacion gestacional, con terminos medicos y todo, en una forma entretenida. Esto porque en todo momento esta presente la historia emocional del autor en la busqueda de su hija. Mas de una vez me sorprendi riendo con sus explicaciones del procedimeinto, precisas y a la vez divertidas; como cuando menciona al "valiente e intrepido espermatozoide" que lograria fecundar al ovulo donado. No pude evitar imaginarme un espermatoziode tipo caricatura (como los de las clases de educacion sexual del colegio) con casco, escudo y espada de gladiador :D


    Disfrute cada una de las paginas de este libro. Llore y celebre con el autor y su familia. Me emocione cuando Armando tuvo por primera vez a su bebe en sus brazos. Creo que esta solo pudo ser por la profunda honestidad con que esta escrito, dejando ver las dudas y tambien las certeza, los traspies y las victorias en la larga espera de esa hija sognada. Y, sobre todo, en cada linea y en cada palabra, pude sentir su amor infinito por Emma.
