Meet Asher Carter, quite arguably the cutest kid that has ever existed in the history of kids.
Asher's mother, 27-year-old Meagan Richter Nash, tried to submit his photos for a deal with OshKosh. She submitted photos that she had taken at a local studio in Buford, Georgia of her adorable son, but unfortunately, her son was deemed ineligible for a deal because a modeling agency wasn't looking for a child with special needs.

After she posted a picture to the Changing The Face of Beauty Facebook page describing what had happened, people took notice. Shortly after, the Facebook page Kids with Down Syndrome also posted the picture.
At this point, Asher's picture has been shared over 150,000 times!

Meagan wanted to make it very clear that it wasn't OshKosh that denied her son.
On the Kids with Down Syndrome post, she commented saying, "I just wanted to make sure everyone knew Oshkosh didn't turn him down , a talent agency said they didn't submit him because a specific brand didn't say they needed a kid with special needs."
She explained to CBS News what she really wants at the end of the day.
“I would love for OshKosh to meet my son and see what we see in him,” she said, adding that, "I don’t want them to use him because of this fuss we are making on the Internet; I want them to use him because they value him and see how much he could contribute to their advertisement."
What happened next will bring joy to your heart!
