Adopted baby with Down syndrome goes viral after smiling for mom

There’s nothing that warms the heart quite like babies with big smiles. Call me a softy all you want, but there really is nothing that can compare to young children radiating happiness.

Which is perhaps why a video posted by the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network a few years ago quickly achieved viral fame, proving immensely popular all over the internet.

The clip, featuring an adopted baby born with Down syndrome grinning happily at her adoptive mother, has already been seen by more than 14 million people.

It’s not too difficult to see why: the baby is absolutely adorable. She knows she’s in a loving family, and the joy she’s spreading is simply an extension of her own contentment.

The National Down Syndrome Adoption Network (NDSAN) was established in a bid to ensure every child born with Down syndrome has the chance to grow up in a loving family.

The organization was founded by Robin and David Steele in 1982 after they fell in love with Martha, a young girl with Down syndrome residing at a children’s home.

Given all the worry and strife we face in the world today, it’s important that we all take a moment to appreciate the small things that make us feel good. Something as simple as a baby’s laugh or smile really can go a long way towards restoring some small measure of faith in humanity.

What’s more, I defy you to watch the video below and not be moved in some way. Small babies and their undeniable charm might not be everyone, but there’s something special about this baby that will almost certainly make you feel better for having watched the clip.

Well that clip certainly brought a big smile to my face! How about you?
