Parents Todd and Nicola Bailey have described the joy of having a daughter with Down’s syndrome. When doctors told the couple that their twin daughter, Harper, had Down's syndrome, they broke the news by saying, "I'm so sorry". However, the proud parents insist that “there is nothing to be sorry for.”

Mum, Nicola said: "Our family is unique and I wouldn't change it for the world.”

The Sheffield couple didn't find out that Harper had the genetic condition until she was born, 38 minutes before her twin sister Quinn. Around 40,000 people in the UK have Down's syndrome and experts said the chance of having one twin with the condition is one-in-a-million.

The proud mum said: “All I really remember is the doctor saying 'I'm sorry”. But as soon as I saw them both, my heart just melted. They were both so beautiful."

“I don't see Harper as any different to my other children and would not change her for the world. You do see people staring at her and it's hard at times as the perception of Down's syndrome can be so negative. We get comments like 'oh is she a Down's baby' or 'I know a Down's girl'. She's not a Down's baby, she's a baby with Down's syndrome.

"They still break the news by saying 'I'm sorry’. I'm really not sorry. Harper is perfect I would not change her. Her little smile lights up the room and she is who she's supposed to be."
