Baker did not agree. <\/p>\n<p>On November 25, 2022, Baker uploaded a picture to social media of her daughter Emersyn wearing a T-shirt and black leggings with the words \u2018I&#8217;m writing my own story&#8230;\u2019<\/p>\n<p>on the front of the shirt. In the video clip, Emmy can be seen walking barefoot and smiling after depositing a letter in a mailbox. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_0734-300x194.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-64948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_0734-300x194.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_0734-768x497.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_0734-1024x662.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/armenia23.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_0734.jpeg 1231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Baker captioned the photo with the following: \u2018Emmy is mailing local doctors letters on how to deliver a Down syndrome diagnosis.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>People who have Down syndrome will always rise up to meet and exceed expectations, and this is the honest truth about Down syndrome. <\/p>\n<p>Happiness, love, thoughtfulness, hugs, and the highest possible standard of living.
