A mother who refused to abort her baby with Down syndrome two years ago hopes society would soon stop shrinking these children into the shadows of “negative stigma and outdated opinions.”

Shannon Wemyss and her husband, Mikey, both 24, from Inverness, Scotland, take pride and joy in raising their baby girl, Gracey. Shannon wishes people would make a conscientious, informed decision and honor the gift of life.
