Single 'superdad' adopts fifth disabled child and urges other single people to follow his lead
34-year-old Ben Carpenter recently adopted his fifth disabled child, and for National Adoption Week, is encouraging other prospective parents to do the same
Raising just one child can be a challenging experience for most parents, so one can reasonably imagine that it gets exponentially harder with each additional child. But 34-year-old Ben Carpenter, who happens to be a single father to five children, each of whom suffers from some form of disability, wouldn't trade the experience for anything else in the world.
According to the Mirror, Carpenter recently adopted his fifth child, Noah, and the dad says watching his kids achieve the seemingly impossible makes it all worthwhile. "I love it," he was quoted saying. "People say it's hard work but I love every bit of what I do. They're amazing kids. They don't ever let their disabilities hold them back, they just get on with life."
