Ko Samuel Forrest, no Aotearoa, i puta i ngā upoko o te ao i te marama o Hui-tanguru i muri i tana tīmatanga ki te kohikohi moni hei āwhina ki te whakatipu i te pēpi Leo. I tono a Ruzan Badalyan, te wahine a Mr Forrest, i te wiki i muri mai i te whanautanga o Leo i tona whenua - kei reira he ngoikoretanga penei i te Down Syndrome e kiia ana he mea whakama - i te Hanuere 21.

Ko te tokorua - kaore i te whakarere i raro i te ture Armenia - kei te hiahia ratou ki te neke ki Auckland me Leo. 'Kei te hiahia rātau ki te whakatipu i a ia ki Aotearoa engari ka whakawhirinaki katoa ki te mea ka kitea e te New Zealand Immigration he mea tika,' i kii te tangata e tata ana ki te tokorua ki te paetukutuku purongo o Aotearoa. Ahakoa ngā pāpāho kino katoa me te pakanga ā-hinengaro, i hiahia ia ki te haere ki te tikanga ahurea, ki te awhi i te tama. Engari he nui te moni e pā ana inaianei.'

I tīmata a Mr Forrest ki te kohikohi pūtea hei whakamātau ki te kawe i tana tama ki Aotearoa, ā, tae noa mai ki tēnei wā, neke atu i te $600,000 te moni kua kohia e te kaupapa. I ngā wiki i muri mai i te nui o te tirotiro a te pāpāho, kua tae mai a Mr Forrest ki te tiaki i a ia, e kii ana ko ia tētahi o ngā'mate o ngā tikanga pāpori i Armenia'.
