A 15-month-old baby with Down syndrome has won hearts around the Web for mailing a letter to the doctor who told her mother to abort her.
Mom Courtney Baker put a picture of smiling little Emersyn Faith holding the note on her Facebook page, which has been shared thousands of times since Down syndrome awareness site Parker Myles also posted the story on Tuesday.
“What I would love is for a mother who is in the process of making that decision whether to keep the baby … to realize that life doesn’t end with a (Down syndrome) diagnosis — it’s just getting started,” Baker, 44, from Sanford, Fla., told The Daily News.
