Viral Joy: A Baby’s Smile Wins the Internet
A few years ago, the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network (NDSAN) posted a short video. It didn’t take long for the clip to go viral. Over 14 million people have watched it so far—and for good reason.
In the video, an adopted baby born with Down syndrome beams up at her mother. Her smile radiates happiness. Her joy is genuine—and contagious.
Love at First Smile
This little girl knows she’s loved. Her face says it all. The warmth she shares in just one look proves how powerful a family’s love can be.
Behind the Network: A Story of Purpose
Founded in 1982 by Robin and David Steele, the NDSAN began with love. The couple met a young girl named Martha, who had Down syndrome and lived in a children’s home. They knew she deserved more—and they took action. Since then, the organization has worked to give every child with Down syndrome a chance to grow up in a caring home.
