‘I was convinced with me being single as well that they wouldn’t take me seriously – but I was over the moon when they did.

Lily is deaf and Joseph has Down Syndrome

‘Due to previously working with disabled adults and children, I knew it was only right for me to adopt a disabled child because I knew I’d be able to care for them properly.

‘I definitely see myself fostering more children though – I just love being a dad’

‘I originally saw an advertisement from local adoption social services looking for adoptive parents; and I thought, well, they’re not going to want me as a single guy. But I told them who I was and where I worked and they were really positive and quite enthusiastic about me adopting a child.

Mr. Carpenter ‘fell in love’ with Noah when he first saw him and knew he needed to join his family

‘Nine years on, I have five children and I wouldn’t change a thing,’ he added.
