In what can only be described as a one-off, Ben Carpenter known as ‘super dad’, has adopted his fifth child by himself.

The single dad is looking forward to a very special Father’s Day this year after he adopted his fifth disabled child whose name is Noah. The 35-yr-old from Huddersfield in the UK initially only wanted to adopt one child when he was 21 but as the years progressed, he found himself adopting more as soon as he was able to.

Ben’s children Jack, 11, Ruby, eight, Lily, six, Joseph, three, as well as Noah, have a range of disabilities from Autism to Pierre Robin syndrome.

 

Ben has received much praise on social media after the story went viral with many depicting him as a prime example of someone who gives unconditional love.

One social media user said that “any man can be a father but it takes a special man to be a dad!”.
