When his wife gave birth to their child, it was a pleasant time for them—until they received some bad news.

Given that their young son had down syndrome, both parents experienced a sense of the world crumbling around them. The diagnosis hurt Evgeny, but he eventually worked up the courage to be the best father he could be.

However, due to the difficulties and financial issues that would befall the family, his wife wanted to place the child in foster care. Evgeny didn’t view the situation in the same way.

He called it “inhumane” to describe it. His feelings were not something he held back.

After all, Misha was Evgeny’s son, and he knew the child deserved to be content and have a family. The father had no expectations for this choice.

He was carrying out what he believed to be the duties of a good father.

The facts remain the same despite how hard the initial news hit him. Evgeny didn’t consider the infant to be a boy with Down syndrome. His son was Misha.

Parenting is not easy, and a diagnosis like this can be very difficult for families.

Evgeny first needed to identify the specific issues his son was facing to care for his son as he grew up properly.

Down syndrome, brought on by an abnormality in the chromosomes, has no known treatment. Being there for someone with Down syndrome is the best thing you can do for them daily.

People who struggle with learning, have physical or mental limitations, or suffer from genetic disorders should have our full support and acceptance as a society.
