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

“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.” After a moment, Forrest held Leo for the very first time. 

“They took me to see him and I looked at this guy and I said, he’s beautiful -- he’s perfect and I’m absolutely keeping him.” 

Soon Forrest walked into his wife's hospital room with Leo in his arms. Her reaction was unlike one he ever expected. “She told me if I kept him then we would get a divorce.” 

“What happens when a baby like this is born here? They will tell you that you don’t have to keep them,” Forrest said. “My wife had already decided, so all of this was done behind my back.” 

Despite his wife's warnings, Forrest said he never had a doubt in his mind that he would hold onto his son. One week after his birth, Leo's mom filed for divorce. 

“It’s not what I want,” Forrest said. “I didn’t even have a chance to speak with her in privately about it.” 

Forrest has plans for himself and Leo to move to his native country of New Zealand where he said they’ll receive support from loved ones.
