A New Zealand-born boy embroiled in an international tug-of-love is looking forward to celebrating his first real Kiwi Christmas.

Eighteen months ago, Dylan Laybourn, 13, was reunited with his father Bruce and older sister Gerry, but they didn’t get to celebrate with all the family.

“For me, it was 12 years dreaming of a Kiwi Christmas with Dylan and all of the extended whanau he has been missing. Every day is Christmas now – it has been a long journey but the destination has been worth it,” Bruce said.

Dylan was 4 months old when he was abducted in 2007 by his mother Gulsen Nil Laybourn and her Kurdish mother during what was supposed to be a three-week trip to Turkey.
