“I couldn’t figure out how to carry on living, how to eat my breakfast when I saw this story on TV,” the Guardian quotes him as saying in a TV inteview. “He’s a special child. When I saw the baby I said ‘I must adopt him, he has been sent to me by God.’
“Just look at this poor little fellow. He made such a strong impression on me. I told my wife we have to help him, we have to do everything we can. I never thought I would adopt a baby, I had no plan concerning that, but I just know: I have to help this one.”
