Christy and Haseeb Amireh and their baby Grayson were greeted by family and loved ones at San Francisco International when they arrived home to the Bay Area.
This was the first time family got a chance to meet 3-week-old baby Grayson. He was immediately scooped into the loving arms of family members.
“He was so good on the plane,” said his mom. “I’m just so happy to be on American soil. I love the Bay Area.”
One day Grayson will learn about his parents quest to have a baby and their journey to bring him home — a journey that started in Tabasco, Mexico with a surrogate.
It was a wonderful experience up until the couple was denied a birth certifcate to bring Grayson home after he was born. The couple spent weeks stuck in Mexico.
We first met the Amireh family when they were Skyping from their hotel room in Mexico City. KPIX 5’s story brought attention to the couples desperate plea for help. Family members were worried there was no end in sight.
“I was very apprehensive about seeing them,” one relative told reporter Juliette Goodrich. “I truly thought they were going to be stuck longer than this.”
Surrogacy is legal in Tabasco but a change in the current government administration put a sudden halt to birth certificates for surrogate babies like Grayson.
When we finally met up with the couple in Mexico they showed us Grayson’s ticket to come home: his birth certificate and his passport.
This was the best gift Grayson’s mom could ask for this Mother’s Day – to be home, with her baby and her family.

I beg your forgiveness..but .this put me in mind......of Barack Obama for some reason
I noticed there was no desire with the parents to claim Mexican citizenship.
Sounds like Mexico...
A 100% sure guarantee of a hefty bribe. Desperate parents would pay anything and probably did.
That's all it was. La Mordida for the gringos.
Daddy is named, ‘Haseeb Amireh?’ WTF?
It’s a Persian name.
Another child will grow up with a GNAWING; a deep craving to know his REAL parents. Another little monster for the Bay Area to embrace. I can only pity the poor child, and think the systems REEKS of incredible favoritism.
Too many horror stories, got in trouble myself once and had at least a few near misses.
I don’t go there anymore a warn everyone I can not to go. Far too much risk.

>> “Far too much risk.” <<

Had nothing but good times, and met nothing but unforgettably enjoyable people, in Mexico, and South America.
I guess we balance it out, huh?
.
I’ve had good times there too, but....................
Iranian.
right on- well said, much better than my rant would have been.
