# 24 - Are We Getting Deported From Australia With a Newborn?

SOOOOO, baby is due in 19 days and we are still waiting and hoping for Permanent Residency, so that we can stay in our lovely little lives in Australia (as we have done collectively for 15 years )If we don’t get permanent residency, Lewis and I face deportation in August 2025… with our newborn baby.We have done everything in our power to remain here, and jumped through all the expected hoops the government put out for us.This episode is all about our permanent residency struggle, our petition with change.org and how we are coping with so much uncertainty, with a baby on the way so soon!We have only 12 weeks left until our visas expires and we are very much facing the reality that we may have to leave our whole lives in Australia behind, to head back to the UK with a newborn and start all over again.Here is the link for our petition, that has reached an almost whopping 10K signatures:https://chng.it/LrK5McbCwkPLEASE PLEASE PLEASE sign and share if you haven’t already!!The more signatures we have, the more likely Minister of Immigration Tony Burke will treat our case with the seriousness and urgency it needs.Love you guys and we will be taking you on the journey with us regardless  xoxo
