There’s something magical about a baby’s smile—pure, joyful, and contagious. That’s why a short video shared by the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network melted hearts across the internet.
In it, a baby girl with Down syndrome beams up at her adoptive mom, radiating happiness. It’s no surprise the clip has racked up over 14 million views. Her joy is real—and clearly returned.
The National Down Syndrome Adoption Network (NDSAN) was created to ensure every child with Down syndrome has the chance to grow up in a loving home. It began in 1982, inspired by founders Robin and David Steele’s connection with a little girl named Martha.
With so much going on in the world, sometimes we just need a moment like this—a smile, a laugh, a reminder of what really matters.
If this warmed your heart, pass it on. The world could use more of this kind of joy.
