Newborn Almost Taken Away Because both Parents are Blind. Blind People Across the Internet Come to Aid and Kick Butt

When little Rivaldo was born Friday morning, Marco and Adelina Zepeda asked a Sequoia Hospital nurse to arrange for someone to visit their Redwood City apartment over the weekend to visually check on the baby's progress.
After observing the nervous father struggling to diaper the infant, a social worker convinced Marco Zepeda to sign a form authorizing child protective services to take temporary custody of the baby if the couple could not care for him properly.
"This is after 48 hours of no sleep. This was not presented in Mr. Zepeda's native language, and it was not presented in an accessible format, such as Braille," said Margie Donovan of the California Council of the Blind.
