As a child, Armando Lucas Correa always dreamed of being a father. After his successful career in Cuba as a dance and theater critic, Correa, along with his partner, photographer Gonzalo Hernández, went into exile in the United States, where he became a sought-after journalist in Miami and New York. In Miami, they nurtured their illusion of creating a family, but in those days, gay couples were not allowed to adopt in Florida. In 2000, already established in New York and having researched the best options to have a child, they decided on surrogacy. It was an arduous, expensive process, but with the help of an egg donor, a gestational mother, and the unconditional support of family and friends, they were finally able to meet their daughter Emma in San Diego, California. Four years later their twins, Anna and Lucas, came into their lives through the same surrogate mother. In Search of Emma is the true story of the exciting and exhausting journey that led to a man becoming a father, who didn't let anyone or anything stop him from having the family he so richly deserved.
