Baby Boy and Afraa

baby: The Bilals decided to not only name the baby Justin, but give him the first name of Justin-Trudeau, in honour of the prime minister for working to bring Syrian refugees to Canada, according to CTV. According to Afraa, children are normally named after their grandparents in Syria but the couple wanted a different Canadian name for the baby boy born in the country that accepted them. Afraa and Moe Bilal welcomed a baby boy, Justin-Trudeau Adam Bilal, on Thursday around 6 10 p.m. weighing seven pounds, seven ounces. We are very thankful to this person because he brings lots of Syrians, a lot of refugees to Canada Afraa told CTV Calgary. They arrived in Calgary in February of 2016 with their two children. The Bilals were part of the more than 33,000 refugees who fled Syria and were resettled in Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
