Menopause had closed the door to natural conception, but not to hope. She traveled to Rosario and placed herself in the hands of Dr. Matías Colabianchi, of the Colabianchi Institute, to try in vitro fertilization treatment.

On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, David was born by cesarean section at San Felipe Hospital. He weighed 2,750 kilos and arrived healthy, just like his mother.

What is certain is that, at 62, she fulfilled what she had waited for her entire life.
