We spent $107K to have twins with a surrogate in Cyprus - now the country won't let us leave
Briefly

Damian and Pasan Fernando, a gay couple from the UK, spent $107,000 to have twins through surrogacy in Cyprus after struggling for years to find a surrogate in their home country. They successfully welcomed twins, River and Liko, on January 3, 2025, but have faced significant delays in obtaining the children's passports due to misplaced documents. They applied for passports on January 13, and eight weeks later are still unable to return home, which has kept the children from meeting their grandparents. Damian highlights the frustrations of bureaucratic issues during an emotional time.
The couple applied for their passports on January 13, but their application is still under review due to lost documents, leaving them stranded in Cyprus.
Damian expressed frustration over the passport delays, stating, 'It's silly human errors. It's so avoidable. The children aren't able to meet their grandparents.'
