Dad Refuses to Give Up Newborn Son With Down Syndrome

When Samuel Forrest of Armenia heard a baby crying from outside his wife's hospital room, he knew his life would change forever.

Not only had he become a father, but he would soon receive some unexpected news about his newborn son.

"This pediatrician walks out of the room with a little bundle -- that was Leo," Forrest said. "She had his face covered up and hospital authorities wouldn't let me see him or my wife. When the doctor came out, he said 'there’s a real problem with your son.'

Forrest followed doctors and nurses into a room where he'd finally get to meet his baby.

"When I walked into the room they all turned to me and said 'Leo has Down syndrome," he told ABC News. "I had a few moments of shock."

May God bless this father for choosing life.

Imho, that speaks volumes about the mother’s character. The father is better off without her.


If she was so evil with this, had she stayed, she would have done even more evil to him and his child. Evil is not contained in little pockets. It’s in the soul.
