Mom wants to give son with Down syndrome to foster care, so Dad decides to raise baby all on his own

Every day, thousands of babies are born around the world with conditions that make them stand out in some way. Of course, all babies are beautiful, and none are any less deserving of love, care, and attention.

Despite the age of understanding and reason that we’re supposed to live in now, many babies with Down syndrome are still born into uncertainty because of ongoing prejudice surrounding the condition.

One Russian father is looking to rid any and all stigma surrounding Down syndrome, while simultaneously independently raising his son, Misha, who suffers from the condition.
