Read True Stories of LGTBI+ Families

Rainbow Fertility Barcelona is a project of Institut Marquès with which we want to continue helping even more the LGTBI+ community: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex people, as well as the rest of sexual and gender diversities, to achieve their dream of building a family.

Esther and Ana

This is the story of two women who dreamed of becoming mothers. They chose Institut Marquès to carry out their project. The ROPA method is an Assisted Reproduction technique that allows two lesbian women to share motherhood.

Gemma and Ariadna

Discover the beautiful story of these women who knew they wanted to be Mum and Mummy. Now they will be mothers of two boys, the first one thanks to the ROPA Method and the second one by means of IVF with own eggs and donor sperm. Now they are a family of four.

Carolina and Vanesa

This is the story of two women who dreamed of becoming mothers. They chose Institut Marquès to carry out their project. Now they will be double mothers, their first child, Oliver, thanks to an Artificial Insemination with donor sperm and their second little one, Lidia, with an IVF with donor sperm treatment. They are now a family of four.

Sonia and Federica

Federica and Sonia wanted to be mothers and chose Rainbow Fertility Barcelona to make their dream come true. They underwent the ROPA method treatment and gave a positive pregnancy test at the first attempt: Beatrice is a beautiful, smiling and friendly girl, and now they have returned to Barcelona to look for a little brother.

Hugo Marlo

Hugo Marlo performed live at the In Vitro Fertilisation Laboratory of Institut Marquès on 17 May “International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia”. This concert for embryos celebrates family diversity through music. The trans singer has vitrified his eggs with Rainbow Fertility Barcelona, a project of Institut Marquès for the lgtbqi+ community, in order to be able to form a family later on.

Read some examples of our patients’ feedback

My wife and I did our treatment with you and everything went great. We got pregnant the first time and with twins, just as we wanted. Now they are one year old. The treatment at Institut Marquès was wonderful and I have nothing but good words for you. Thank you and thank you a thousand times for helping us to have our children. A big hug.

Laura and CarmenMataró 2018

Today, exactly one year ago, we left home for Barcelona full of hope, love, faith and even a bit of agitation. We did the embryo transfer on July 15th at 12 noon.

It was the most exciting moment of my life. I had not yet written to you personally after Dylan's birth to say THANK YOU to all of you, from the first to the last. I am doing it today, one year after the day that changed my life, our life....

Serena and GiuliaRimini 2017

It was great from start to finish. The team is fantastic, the facilities are welcoming. You feel special from the first moment.

LisaGranollers 2019

We are very happy, we are waiting for our babies to arrive, both at the same time! We are organising ourselves very well to welcome them.

VanesaBarcelona 2019

We felt welcomed, guided and understood. The whole team is friendly, attentive and very professional. They all go out of their way to make you happy. Thanks again to Dr. Garcia-Faura, for his follow up, his patience, his kindness, his skills and his professionalism. To Manuela and Carla for your kindness, your gentleness, your patience: you are great, don't change. To the lady at the reception for opening the door with a smile. To Dr. Marquès for the embryo transfer.

Follow your heart, your feelings and do not hesitate to visit the centre, to soak up the atmosphere before making your choice of clinic. For us it was and will be INSTITUT MARQUÈS.

Manon and AdeleToulon 2021

That is the beauty of dreams, that sometimes they come true.

A year ago we embarked on our most beautiful journey and we came looking for you with the hope of taking you home with us in the midst of confusion, anxieties and fears, and above all, the strength to face this journey together, despite the thousands of obstacles that today prevent us from creating a family like any other.

Today, we know that this is a delicate path that also requires many sacrifices and we have done everything possible for you to be here with us today. I will never forget the phrase that the doctor at the clinic said to us: "Today, all future mothers are expecting". From then on, the anxiety of waiting 10 days to have the long-awaited test.

Thanks to our clinic for making our greatest wish come true. Today, more than ever, we will fight to show that the problem is not in our family, but in those who do not see it as such.
