“To me, Harry is just a boy. Some days, I completely forget that he has Down’s syndrome.
“There are so many kids out there who need a home. I would absolutely encourage people to adopt a disabled child, as they can be the hardest to place but have so much love to give….
“A few months ago, I was in the park playing with…Harry when he blurted out the best words a mum can imagine: ‘I love you’ – before giving me a bear hug.”
