A dad could be torn away from his newborn daughter just days after holding her for the first time.
Matthew Melia from Bromborough lives in Shenzhen, China with his wife DanDan. The couple's daughters Mia and Scarlett were born via caesarean section on May 3.
They had planned to return home to the UK before the birth but complications led to the twins being born two months early. Sadly, Scarlett's condition was so severe that Matthew, 35, and DanDan, 33, were faced with the decision to stop treatment altogether.
