A baby trapped more than two years in Ukraine by bureaucratic hurdles has arrived in Brussels with his parents, a pair of legally married Belgian men, ending the couple's long legal battle to bring their son home.
Samuel Ghilain arrived with his parents - Peter Meurrens and Laurent Ghilain.
Samuel was born to a surrogate mother in Ukraine in November 2008. But for more than two years, bureaucratic hurdles kept the baby from being issued a Belgian passport.
The Belgian Foreign Ministry, following a court decision in the couple's favour, has finally issued a passport.
