It has been more than 5 years since we wanted to achieve a
dream: become fathers. Life had decided that we had to go through different
experiences until make the step to write to different clinic and get rapidly in
touch with Kiran Infertility Center (KIC)... Their disposition, their clarity
and all those small details made the difference to choose them… But the biggest
difference came in April 2012, last year, when we both stared at the picture of
Miquel and Daniela, two recent baby twin born, of a Spanish gay couple with
which KIC put us in touch to share their experience-ence months ago. KIC made their
dream come true, why not for us? So, by the end of July 2012 we flew to
Hydera-bad full of hope, illusion and emotion. 5 unforgettable days... How
could we forget our first meeting with Dr. Samit and Anjani full of respect and
shyness? What about the city: full of history, contrast, a melt of religions,
noise, colors and people smiling all day long no matter what…
Days after we were back home. Then, we received a mail
from Anjani explaining that the implantation of our first embryos had been done
after fertilization. Days seemed years, until one Wednesday afternoon of
October, Anjani prudently wrote us that our beta value was high enough to be
possibly pregnant… At this moment, everything changed... We could n´t wait to
project ourselves in our new life and wondering: are they two? Just one? A boy?
A girl? Luckily, Anjani confirmed us soon that we were pregnant of one. The
countdown just began… Days after days, weeks after weeks Anjani kept in touch
with us through pictures and video where we could see our future baby growing
and ensure that the surrogate was well…
When
on Thursday May 2nd, Anjani told us that 24 to 48 hours were remaining for the
baby to be born we just cried. The baby we had been waiting for years was just
about to come. We flew to Hyderabad for the second time and discovered the same
city: from sunrise to sunset, peo-ple in the street, cars, noise, colors and
smiles… a lot of smiles… One of those was the one of our baby: Alba Citlali was
sleeping so peacefully waiting for us with a smile on her mouth. But how could
you be so grateful to Dr. Samit and Anjani for all this work accomplished? Dr.
Samit has the ability and humility to give life and Anjani to be the frame of
all this magic managing all the steps of the process. Together they just had
made our dream come true. So are those two words enough? THANK YOU?
But
more than a dream, we also wanted to thank them for so many lessons they have been
giving us and that we would be proud to teach to Alba Citlali. Anjani, we
learnt from you the respect of others´ work, as each person has its way to
work: you were so effective, you never stopped to be here even if we did n’t saw
you, we knew you were acting. Dr. Samit, we would love Alba to have your
humility: you treat each case with hope and do your best to make family dreams
come true. But our stay would not have been so unforgettable without the
hospitality of each person we met there. In the Hotel, we were received every
day with so much distinction, always with a smile and asking for Alba. Finally,
we would love to see Alba surrounded by so much colors and be smiling all day
long as all the people we met no matter who they were...
“The DREAMS, COLORS and
SMILES…In the end… It is said that the beauty of a place is not made by the
landscape but by the people that give life to it. For this adventure, the
beauty of this dream is full of color and people smiling. To Dharani– our
surrogate, Dr. Samit, Anjani, Mr. Singh, Saji and the team , THANKS for making
our lives a colorful smiley DREAM.”
