Single Dad Adopts Boy with Down Syndrome No One Wanted, Years Later Learns of Kid’s $1.2M Inheritance – Story of the Day

David smiled. “I know,” he said. “I’m just so nervous! I’ve always wanted to be a father!”
Jack grinned and patted his brother on the back. “Get ready to be a daddy, my man!” It was then that the doctor walked in and headed for David. There was something in his expression that killed all laughter, and David just knew.
