Nurse adopts baby boy with incurable disease after foster families refuse to take him

A nurse adopted a baby boy who was admitted to her her hospital ward with an incurable disease after no-one else offered to take him home.

Several foster families rejected Josh Burdall who has a life-limiting, muscle-wasting disease, so mum-of-nine Sarah Ruane, 54, began the adoption process when he was one month old.

Seven years on and she is trying to raise funds to find a cure for his condition known as congenital myotonic dystrophy.
