A British couple are facing the heartbreaking prospect of having to leave their newborn baby daughter in China due to issues with getting her a passport. Callum Bentley and his wife Neelam are currently living in Shanghai, where they work as teacher.
Baby Isabelle was born in February and the family is due to return to the UK in July after completing two years of work in China. With that in mind, they set the wheels in motion to get Isabelle a passport soon after she was born, reports StokeonTrentLive.
Callum, 32, had a meeting with a British government representative in Shanghai and believed that the application was moving forward. But then in April the city went into a strict lockdown as part of China's strategy to control Covid.
