Single Dad Raises his son, Zain

This is Zain and he is six month old. He came into Infant Crisis Services today with his Grandma, who shared her son's story with me. Zain's dad, Bill, is a nineteen-year-old single father who just got full custody 4 weeks ago. As a newborn, Zain lived with his mother where he was malnourished and was never bathed. One day she took off and no one knows where she went. Zain's father works six days a week to provide a home and other necessities for Zain. Grandma drives to Weatherford every day to pick Zain up and drop him off when Bill gets home.

"When he decided to raise this baby I said I would stand behind him 100 percent," said Grandma.

Zain was smiling for any one and every one while at Infant Crisis Services. I said to Grandma how happy Zain was and she said every since he went to live with his father he has drastically changed into a happier baby and how her son has surprised her by stepping in and providing a good life for Zain.
