Angela Ferreira, who in recent years has fought for the legalization of posthumous insemination, became pregnant by her husband, who died in 2019. Hugo wrote that he would like a woman to give birth to a child from his sperm.
“Finally, I share the long-awaited news. It took years of struggle, the process was long and laborious, but we finally did it! With great joy and with all my heart I share that two hearts are beating inside about me, ”Angela shared on Instagram.
The woman’s battle began after the death of her husband. At that time, Angela created a petition that was signed by more than one hundred thousand people.
After being approved by parliament in October 2020, the bill ran into the President of the Republic. At that point, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa accused the diploma of creating “legal uncertainties”, especially in relation to inheritance.
On November 5, 2021, six months later, the President of the Republic unveiled the diploma that enabled Angela to fulfill the dream of her late husband.
Hugo’s five-year storage of genetic material ended this month.
