Father Keeps Son with Down Syndrome Rejected by Mother

Sad story from Armenia. Surprising that in this day and age, parents in Eastern Europe can abandon their child with disabilities at the hospital.

When a New Zealand father saw his newborn son for the first time at a hospital in Armenia, he never questioned whether or not he’d keep him.

Even though doctors revealed at birth that Leo had Down syndrome and his mother had decided she didn’t want him, Samuel Forrest was adamant about calling the child his own.
