We had a beautiful relationship, with the kids too, and that is part of how I found out that I wanted my own. One had kids before, because he was married in a heterosexual relationship and he had two kids. You can’t depend on other people to have the same point of view as you. That’s where therapy helped me very much to understand that when you have a life decision, you have to go for it. First you see if the relationship works, and then you see if they want to have kids. So, after I turned 30 I said I couldn't go into another relationship. My first challenge was that I had to end two longtime relationships, because they didn't want to have kids. OM: Everything for a time is a challenge, and the challenges change every day, in every stage of their life. PS: What are some challenges you have faced in your journey to parenthood? I want the world to have this amazing evolution for my kids, for Anyk and Axel. Because I want people to see it in a very different way. That’s why I share my story, a story of love. I’m glad that the world has had a great evolution, and it has transformed that way. That’s when I thought I’m not crazy I'm not the only one who is thinking of this. I said that I was the only crazy guy in the world that had that wish, that dream, but when I started doing the process, I saw that other guys from other parts of the world, far away, were pursuing the same dream. Of course, I had the courage to do it that’s why I took those steps, but at the same time, there was a part of me that was like - never doubting - but always thinking, “Oh my god what am I doing?” But it was something that happened with all my heart. For me, for the world, for my country, for Latin America, for my surrounding, for everything. Oscar Madrazo: I didn't know what it was going to be, because it was all new.
Personal Space: How did it feel to be the first openly gay man in Latin America to have children through surrogacy?
Personal Space interviewed the Qué Madrazo talk show co-host to learn more about his new documentary, if he knew he was having twins, what his current relationship status is now, and much more. Now, after revealing so much of himself on Mexican Dynasties, Madrazo is excited to share even more of his journey to parenthood through his new documentary, My American Dream, that he has been filming for four years. To realize his dream of fatherhood, Madrazo traveled to Growing Generations, the first surrogate mother agency for the gay and lesbian community, and eventually he brought home his twins, Anyk and Axel. Long before we saw Oscar Madrazo on Bravo's Mexican Dynasties, he had made headlines as the first openly gay man in Latin America to have children through surrogacy.
