Their desire to become biological parents continued to grow, leading them to explore the option of surrogacy. In an exclusive interview with People en Español, Eliecer Marte openly shared the details of this new chapter in their lives, which he had previously discussed on social media.

«We first wanted to adopt a child in the Dominican Republic. However, same-sex adoption is not permitted in the country — it is not allowed.

«When it came to surrogacy, we sought advice to explore viable options both within the United States and in other countries. With the help of a lawyer and a specialized agency, we went through a thorough process, including interviews with potential surrogate mothers and anonymous egg donors. Following that, we embarked on the medical and biological procedures necessary for the formation of embryos,» Eliecer Marte continued.

If everything goes well, our baby is expected to be born at the end of December, specifically during Christmas week,» Eliecer joyfully shared with People en Español.
