The National Down Syndrome Adoption Network was founded in 1982 by Robin and David Steele, inspired by their experience with Martha, a young girl with Down syndrome living in a children’s home. Their dedication led to the creation of an organization focused on ensuring that every child with Down syndrome has the chance to find a nurturing family. Since then, NDSAN has helped countless children become eligible for adoption, giving them the love, stability, and opportunities they deserve.
In a world often filled with uncertainty and challenges, moments like these remind us to pause and appreciate genuine joy. The smile of a baby can restore faith in humanity, highlighting the power of love, kindness, and human connection.
By sharing stories like this, we celebrate the truth that every child deserves love, acceptance, and the opportunity to flourish. Watching this little one’s smile is more than heartwarming—it’s a call to recognize the joy and potential present in every child, no matter their circumstances.
