A couple from Australia found themselves in a unique situation while on their dream vacation in Florida. Dana and Tony had planned to visit Disney World before a hurricane threatened the east coast. Little did they know, their trip would take an unexpected turn.
During their stay in Orlando, Dana went into labor at their hotel. It was a complete surprise to her as she had no idea she was 41 weeks pregnant. Despite the chaotic weather outside, Dana gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Audrey. She arrived before they could make it to the hospital and was born in the USA.
This sudden turn of events has caused some complications for the couple as they try to figure out how to bring Audrey back to their home in New South Wales. With Audrey being born in the USA, they are facing a legal headache and are unsure of when they can return to Australia.
In the midst of this administrative nightmare, the couple has been trying to contact the Australian authorities for guidance. They have travel insurance, but their main concern is getting back to Australia with their new addition. Despite being Australian citizens, bringing Audrey back home is not as simple as one would think.
According to Home Affairs, a child born outside of Australia to Australian citizen parents can claim descent and apply for citizenship and a passport. However, each case is different and can take time to process. The couple has been warned that it could take anywhere from two to seven months before they can bring Audrey back to Australia.
The uncertainty and stress of the situation has taken a toll on the couple. They are worried about how long they will have to wait before they can bring their baby home. In the meantime, they are just trying to wait it out and hope for a speedy resolution.
It's a difficult situation for any parent to be in, especially when they are so far from home. The couple is hoping for a quick resolution and the safe return of their family to Australia.
