Woman wants to abort Dwarf baby

I too was put in the situation of weather to keep my unborn baby or

not. At 34 weeks along a specialist told my husband and I our unborn

daughter had Thanatophoric Dysplasia a fatal form of Dwarfism and our

baby might only live a few minutes after birth. He made this

diagnosis from what he saw on the Ultasound. We were devistated. He

gave us two options, deliver the baby and watch her die or go to

Kansas for a late term abortion. I will be honest I checked into it

to find out what it was all about, because my husband didn't know if

he could handle seeing his baby girl die in our arms. But it most

certainly was not the right thing to do for us. It was cruel and

heartless and I could not live with myself if I had done it.

We went for second and thirds opinions and they both concluded the

first doctor was WRONG! Our baby had Achondroplasia. We did alot of

research on the condition and were thrilled that our baby would live,

little or not.

We now have the most beautiful, happy, healty 7 month old girl.

Whom I thank God for each and every day. She does not have

Achondroplasia, DNA testing of the FGFR3 gene was negative. She

still has some form of Dwarfisms, doctors now think

Hypochondroplasia. All we know is that she is a BEAUTIFUL BABY, who

makes each moment in our lives special.

I'm so glad to hear your baby is fine. You made the right choice

then. Isn't this woman wanting an abortion because of (not health)

but because it's a dwarf baby? To me, thats wrong,I gave my baby up

because I was a single mom and already had a baby, my kids are 14

months apart, but my baby was not a dwarf, he was average height,

both kids were healthy, both average height. I've always wanted a

dwarf baby, but never got one. Someday I would like to adopt one. Dede
