1.Like most new fathers,Samuel Forrest was excited to meet his son,but he had no idea just how much that first meeting would change his life.On 21 January,baby Leo was born with Down's Syndrome(唐氏综合症).
"They took me in to see him and I looked at this guy and I said,he's beautiful,he's perfect and I'm absolutely keeping him."Forrest told ABC News.
But Forrest's wife did not share the same feelings.She reportedly gave Forrest a deadline,saying if the father wanted to keep the baby,she would divorce him.
Forrest,from Auckland,New Zealand,said he was unaware that hospitals in Armenia"will tell you that you don't have to keep babies with Down's Syndrome."
He's now planning to raise Leo by himself as a single father back in his native country of New Zealand,where he can be near friends and family for support.
The new father has created a GoFundMe page called"Bring Leo Home"to collect money for the costly move.
"This really happened to me unexpectedly,"he told ABC news."I don't have a lot.I have very little in fact."The goal is to raise enough for a year so I can get a part-time job so Leo doesn't have to be in daycare and I can help care for him."
ABC News spoke to Leo's mother Ruzan Badalyan who said that she did have a child with Down's Syndrome and that she had left her husband.She declined to comment further.
The father's GoFundMe page has already raised over $175,000 in just nine days.The page now states that additional funds will be given out to charity.
"We'd also like to share the extra money with the only orphanage in Armenia that regularly takes abandoned Down's Syndrome babies as well as other organizations that can help these children,"it says.
