He Had To Choose His Baby Or Wife, When She Decided She Was Too Embarrassed To Raise Their Child [VIDEO] When Samuel Forrest and his wife arrived at the hospital to deliver their son, they were unaware of the difficult decisions that lay in front of them. They did not know that their newborn son would be born with Down Syndrome. They did not know that it would mean the end of their marriage. When they heard the diagnosis, Forrests wife could not accept the condition, and decided that she did not want to keep and raise the child. Forrest was given an ultimatumeither he could remain married to his wife, or he could choose to stay with his son Leo. Forrest is from New Zealand, and did not know that the action his wife was proposing was a common choice in Armenia. What happens when a baby like this is born here, they will tell you that you dont have to keep them, Forrest claimed. My wife had already decided, so all of this was done behind my back. This pediatrician walks out of the room with a little bundle that was Leo, Forrest recalls. She had his face covered up and hospital authorities wouldnt let me see him or my wife. When the doctor came out, he said theres a real problem with your son. When I walked into the room they all turned to me and said Leo has Down Syndrome. I had a few moments of shock. Forrest was in for more surprises when his wife decided that he could either keep Leo and get a divorce, or remain married to his wife. He was divorced not even a week later. Now, Forrest has set up a GoFundMe campaign to help raise funds for daycare and private care for his son. Hes also made efforts to help raise public awareness of Down Syndrome. After what Ive been through with Leo, Im not going to sit back and watch babies be sent to orphanages, Leo told reporters. As a child with Down syndrome, that becomes somewhat of a label. If we can get around this label, well see that theyre normal. Theyre a little different from us, but theyre still normal. What do you think of Leos courageous decision? Do you support him in his decision to divorce his wife?
