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.

En busca de Emma es la conmovedora historia de dos padres que superaron todos los obstáculos para traer a su hija a este mundo. Una historia personal de la construcción de una familia del siglo XXI. Una historia de amor universal. Este es el primer libro del editor en jefe de People en Español. Como editor en jefe de People en Español, la revista en español de mayor circulación en los EE. UU., Armando Correa sabe un par de cosas sobre ostentación, celebridad y glamour. Sin embargo, faltaba en su vida la familia que tanto anhelaba crear; la familia que gracias a la ciencia, la paciencia y la comunidad más solidaria posible, finalmente pudo dar vida a su hermosa hija Emma. Al utilizar el método costoso y difícil de encontrar una madre sustituta para que dé a luz a su hija, los lectores se dan cuenta de lo difícil que es el proceso para cualquiera que quiera convertirse en padre. Bendecido con una pareja a largo plazo, vemos que las esperanzas de Armando se frustran una y otra vez cuando el embarazo falla hasta que finalmente el embarazo toma y sus vidas se llenan de las expectativas que todos los padres sienten (llenas de nerviosismo, miedo, amor absoluto) cuando su bebé por nacer está en camino. El libro es a la vez una historia hermosa y oportuna contada desde la perspectiva de un hombre que siempre quiso ser padre, y cuyo entendimiento de que su familia puede no ser considerada tradicional en algunos círculos, es en parte el combustible que lo impulsa.

Revised and updated with a new introduction by the author--and available in English for the first time--the moving story of a man who always wanted to be a father and the long emotional road to making his dream come true. Born in Cuba and raised in the USA, Armando Lucas Correa epitomized the American dream. He had everything he wanted: an incredible job as the editor of People magazine, meeting and interviewing glamorous celebrities; a steady partner; and a comfortable life filled with travel. But with the new millennium, he realized something vital was missing. A child.&nbsp; In the years before gay marriage was widespread and legal across the nation, the road to parenthood was difficult for gay couples. Though his family would not be traditional, Correa was undaunted. Every setback, each emotional challenge was fuel that drove him to fulfill his dream. Exhaustively researching the possibilities, Correa eventually chose surrogacy--a long, arduous, and expensive method involving seemingly endless tests, paperwork, and difficult decisions. But with the help of science, a lot of patience, an egg donor, a gestational mother, and the unconditional support of her partner and family, Correa's dream finally came true with the birth of his beloved daughter, Emma.&nbsp; In Search of Emma is an inspiring and beautiful story of love, family, and fatherhood that reminds us of that, despite the odds, we must never stop fighting to achieve our dreams. Completely revised and updated to reflect his growing family.
