An Australian couple who were informed that their unborn child was diagnosed with Down syndrome were shocked when their doctor scheduled an abortion for them. Refusing to terminate their baby, they went ahead with the pregnancy, and now their little girl has beaten all the odds and is thriving.

“We are blessed with the most beautiful, happy, and funniest little girl who just happens to have an extra chromosome,” mom Zoey O'Hehir from New South Wales wrote on a Facebook post.
