A grieving mum has released this heartbreaking photograph of her premature daughter who was delivered at the 24-week abortion limit.
Born just 24 weeks into her mother’s pregnancy tiny Adelaide was too small to survive.
This treasured image of the tot reaching up as she let out a cry is the only picture her parents have of her alive.
Emily, 25 and husband 29, released the photograph in a bid to open up the debate about abortion.

The current law allows babies to be terminated up to 24 weeks gestation, the same as Adelaide when she was born.
She said: "Our picture shows Adelaide was not a feotus she was a fully formed human being and to think that a baby like her could be legally terminated on grounds of a lifestyle choice is to me is horrifying. Medical grounds is a different matter.
"Our hospital was amazing and did all they could but Adelaide suffered complications which made it impossible for her to survive but many babies born at 24 weeks do live.
