Few things tug at the heartstrings like a baby’s big, radiant smile. Case in point: a video shared by the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network (NDSAN) featuring an adopted baby with Down syndrome grinning at her new mom. It’s captured over 14 million views—and counting!
The clip’s magic? Pure joy. This baby’s beaming face reflects the love and security she’s found in her family, and it’s impossible not to smile along.
Founded in 1982 by Robin and David Steele, NDSAN works tirelessly to ensure every child with Down syndrome has the chance to grow up in a loving home. Inspired by their bond with Martha, a girl with Down syndrome living in a children’s home, the Steeles built an organization that changes lives.
In today’s chaotic world, moments like these remind us to pause and soak in the simple joys—like a baby’s laughter. Watch the clip below, and I dare you not to feel a little better afterward.
Let’s spread some happiness! Share this story and brighten someone’s day.
