Ben Carpenter, from the United Kingdom, became a single father after choosing adoption as a gateway into parenthood. As of Father’s Day in 2019, he became a father of five when 1-year-old Noah joined his four other children: Jack, 12, Ruby, 9, Lily, 7, and Joseph, 4. Yet, the young ones share something in common: they all have some form of disability.
Thirty-six-year-old Carpenter, from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, gained the confidence to take on the responsibility of being a dad from working with adults and children with special needs. He knew that he wanted to be a father at a very early age.
