Per reports, when the brave father, then-33-year-old Evgeny, discovered that his son\u00a0was going to be born with Down syndrome, he started to cry. \u201cI fear that your baby has Down Syndrome,\u201d the doctor told him when the baby was born. However, he quickly felt embarrassed by his reaction and decided never to show such weakness again \u2013 vowing to shower his son with as much love and affection as he could muster.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn my life, after all, nothing had changed, in general. I was still with two arms with two legs. My professional knowledge had gone nowhere,\u201d he said. \u201cMy determination, activity, curiosity, and so on\u2014everything was with me. Everything happened as I planned. My son was born. But the child is special. His life and future destiny are already very significant.\u201d\u00a0Because his son was diagnosed with Down syndrome, he researched the condition. He learned everything he could because he wanted to be a good father who was able to support his child in the ways he needed to be supported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although Evgeny was eager to raise his son, his wife had another idea. She wanted to give the baby to foster care because he had down syndrome. He tried to convince her to keep the son; however, she was not eager to raise a child with special needs. As a result, the pair parted ways, and Evgeny was left as a single dad to raise his child all alone.\u00a0\u201cNow I understand that she was just scared at the time. She started to act according to the wrong scenario, and by then, the Rubicon was already crossed, and it was too late to retreat from the scenario,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evgeny has been doing his best to raise Misha, his son, by himself without support from his ex-wife.\u00a0\u201cI understand that the future might bring more issues, but I hope that we will be able to overcome everything,\u201d the loving father said.\u00a0Evgeny hopes that since he has gained some publicity from his situation, it will help spread awareness around Down syndrome. He wants to educate people about the condition.\u00a0\u201cI want all the articles about Misha and me that are being published now to convey that idea to society and instill it. And I also want to support and inspire with my example those people who are or will be in the same situation as me,\u201d he said. \u201cI try to communicate with those who are within reach. I correspond with those who are far away. I hope that those who have difficulties now, as it was for us, read about us: Have no fear! Everything will be fine!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Per reports, when the brave father, then-33-year-old Evgeny, discovered that his son\u00a0was going to be born with Down…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[138],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3641","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-trending","8":"cs-entry","9":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\n
