In August, Duffy took to Facebook to announce his resignation and explain why he was stepping down. "Recently, we've learned that our baby, due in late October, will need even more love, time, and attention due to complications, including a heart condition," he wrote. "With much prayer, I have decided that this is the right time for me to take a break from public service in order to be the support my wife, baby and family need right now."

The baby ended up being born a month early, and Duffy explained that their daughter would not only need open heart surgery within a few months, but also would have developmental delays, leading some to speculate that the little girl has Down syndrome. ...That news was confirmed, when Campos-Duffy made the announcement on her Facebook page.

Campos-Duffy said that Valentina remains in the NICU, and is the "sweetest, most perfect angel we've ever seen." She also said that she does, in fact, have Down syndrome. "Valentina was born with a heart defect (2 holes in the heart and valves that need to be fixed). She will need surgery in 3-4 months," Campos-Duffy wrote. "As we suspected, Valentina was also born with an extra chromosome, which means she also has Down syndrome. That extra chromosome certainly made her EXTRA cute. Life is wonderful!!" Both parents report that the family is already very much in love with their beautiful little girl.

Duffy is an outspoken pro-life advocate, including fighting for minority children to be protected while in the womb.
