Coronavirus: Finally meeting our first child

In March 2020, Patrick and Enitan Goredema were supposed to travel from their home in Toronto, Canada, to Tbilisi, Georgia, to witness the birth of their first child to a surrogate mother. But on March 18th, Georgia closed its borders in a bid to contain the spread of Covid-19, and they couldn't get there in time for their son's birth. Patrick and Enitan had to wait for more than a month to be united with him.
