A Baby Was Abandoned by His Mother After She Found Out He Was Ill and Was Raised by Her Ex-Boyfriend

Becoming a parent can occur through various means, not necessarily requiring a biological bond to love a child deeply. Life’s surprises can lead to unexpected paths of parenthood, as illustrated in the following account. Approximately 25 years ago, Costa opened the door to discover his girlfriend holding a baby.

His mother abandoned him.

Moisés Costa remained unaware of his girlfriend’s pregnancy until she reached the fifth month. Nonetheless, he suspected he might not be the child’s father. “We were in a relationship, but she resided in a rural locality,” he explained.

One day, she contacted him to reveal her pregnancy, only to vanish soon after. About two months after the child’s birth, she reappeared briefly, claiming she needed to run some errands and wished to leave the baby with him. However, she never returned from that day onwards.

Costa took it upon himself to raise the child.

Following the mother’s disappearance, Costa resolved to undergo a DNA test, which confirmed his suspicion that he was not Davyd’s biological father. Despite this revelation, Costa made the choice to continue caring for the boy. Davyd’s biological mother sporadically visited him during his early years, yet it became evident to Costa that she displayed no interest in reclaiming her son or providing assistance.

Davyd is 25 years old, and their bond remains unbroken. “He is my son in my heart. Although our legal relationship may be considered brothers, he is my son and closest companion. I will go to any lengths to ensure his well-being,” Costa expressed with heartfelt conviction.

Davyd was diagnosed with an illness.

Shortly after Davyd’s arrival, he became unwell and necessitated hospitalization for medical care. Costa and his family were initially unaware of Davyd’s underlying health condition. Subsequently, doctors diagnosed him with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and permanent limb atrophy. In addition to these disabilities, Davyd is nonverbal and necessitates continuous supervision, as he cannot be left unattended.

Costa provides for Davyd no matter the difficulties.

The responsibility of caring for Davyd poses significant challenges for Costa and his 72-year-old mother due to his disabilities. The ongoing treatment expenses and the need for constant supervision add to the difficulty. As Davyd continues to age, Costa concerns himself with who will provide care for him in the years to come.

Presently, Costa is actively searching for Davyd’s biological father and other relatives, yet his love for Davyd remains unwavering, and he has no intention of entrusting his care to anyone else. “Davyd is the love of my life. I will not surrender him to anyone,” Costa affirmed.
