Contrary to what a lot of the Spanish commissioning parents think both Indian and Spanish governments are responsible for the current situation because of which spanish married /heterosexual couples cannot undergo surrogacy in India.the spanish consulate/MEA refuses to give a supporting document which says that babies born through surrogacy will be granted citizenship and Passport post birth.
this is a simple enough requirement from the govt of India and is important because babies should not be left stateless and i do not understand why the spanish government would refuse to give such a letter even though they do give passports and citizenship to babies born through surrogacy in India.we have ourselves helped several spanish couples through the process.
the following is a report i read online
Barcelona- Every year, around 800 Spanish couples who see surrogacy as their only reproductive option must go abroad because Spain does not permit the practice, experts said here at a conference organised by law firm Subrogalia.
Only a few countries have any legislation regulating surrogacy and establishing that legal paternity resides with the couple who hire the surrogate, specialists in the field told EFE Thursday.
Spanish couples pay anywhere from 50,000 to 200,000 euros ($70,000-$277,000) for the process.
The top surrogacy destination for Spanish couples is Ukraine, where some clinics offer unlimited implantation procedures for a fixed fee, but Mexico is becoming more popular, as Ukrainian law bars surrogacy clinics from serving single people and gay or lesbian couples.
"Four years ago, the United States was the top destination and represented around 80 percent of all Spanish couples," Diego Sanchez, president of Subrogalia, said, adding that the proportion has since fallen to 15 percent.
"If we could go to a closer country to hire surrogate mothers, then we would," he said.
While Britain, Greece and Cyprus permit surrogacy, the practice is limited to residents and the prospective parents may not pay the surrogate, the attorney said.
Adoption is difficult in Spain, Sanchez said, noting that "more than 15,000 couples are officially registered on the waiting list to adopt 80-100 children a year."

Sheeba and Jacob from Dubai and Marcelo from Brasil were blessed with children last week with the helps of our surrogacy program.
i met one of the parents today and they were very very happy.they have been trying since several years to have a baby.
it feels good to work in a profession where all parties involved are benefitted and you can make abig difference to the lives of others on a daily basis but sadly the Indian Government does not seem to have a mind of its own when it comes to most matters and the same is with International surrogacy and seems to be dictated by what the foreign press and lobby have to say.
apparently the prime minister of India was also told by his belgian counterpart that members from EU countries should not be allowed surrogacy in INDIA.
the good news is that Elections are all in full swing and i hope that this Puppet government is thrown out of power and Narendra Modi who has a strong will ,a mind of his own and a vision for development and growth and is known to have a favour
able stand on surrogacy become Prime Minister!!the whole of India needs him and even though i have cases lined up on voting day i will get up earlier than usual at 5 am and go and vote first and then go and work!!

THE CONFUSED NATION THAT WE ARE...
A policeman kills a leopard that is actually attacking a villager, and instead of being felicitated he is booked for the crime of saving a human being at the insistence of some Wildlife Organisations.
A nation where:
* Rice is Rs.40/- per kg and SIM Card is free.
* Where a pizza you have ordered reaches home faster than an ambulance or police, even if you were being murdered or having a heart attack!!!
A nation where:
* A car loan is charged at 5% but
Education loan, so necessary for our youth is charged an interest of 12%.
A nation where:
* Students with 45% get into elite institutions through the quota system, and
* Those with 90% are sent away because of merit.
A nation where:
* A millionaire buys a cricket team, spending crores instead of donating the money to any charity.
A nation where:
* Two IPL teams were auctioned at 3300 crores,
* Yet we a poor country where millions don't get two square meals per day.
A country where:
* Ordinary salary tax payer is punished/fined for error in paying little less in tax,
* But the IPL collecting thousands of crores has not paid any income tax
and no body has any issue about it.
A country where:
* Footwear is sold in AC showrooms,
* But the vegetables we eat, are sold on the footpath and very often next to garbage dumps.
Its a strange nation we live in,
* Where assembly complex buildings get ready within a year, while
* Public bridges, flyovers and sea links take several years even to get off the drawing board, and another decade to be completed.
* We have malls, and sky-rises, with slums forming their boundary wall.
A country where:
* Men and women squat on railway tracks, with no where else to go, while * Watching them from windows, are couples (just 'Two') with three bathrooms and one for the guests.
A country where:
* Politicians who are supposed to serve the people accept money from the same people they are supposed to serve, and then
* Take a salary from the government for their services to these people.
We are a nation:
* Where we talk in hushed whispers about the corruption in the country and then
* Dig into our pockets to bribe a cop when we are caught cutting a red light.
A country:
* Where to get small service in Govt. needs a minimum qualification of graduation, but
* No qualification is required to run the same Govt. (get elected!).
A country:
Where our soldiers defending our borders, when jailed by neighbouring countries,are tortured & not even provided proper food/ facilities, but
The militants from across the borders when in our jails are served biryani on demand.
Think about it & Why can't we do something about it.
