• The Supreme Court has approved that parents of children born abroad by surrogate gestation can modify the Civil Registry to put the family home in Spain as a place of birth.
• The Court considers the protection of the minor and their right to privacy to prevail.
• Surrogate gestation is not legal in Spain and rented wombs are contrary to our legal system.
• There are models in countries like Canada or Australia that allow altruistic processes and offer a reasonable way through regulations with clear restrictions.
• More and more Spaniards seek protection in other countries to become parents through surrogate gestation and intermediation agencies.

Conclusion: Although surrogate gestation is not legal in Spain, it is a recurring social reality and ideological prejudices should not prevent the existence of a legal framework on the matter.
