Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I am a 22 year old female who is 32 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. Her dad has pseudo. We would like her to be healthy. I pray daily for that. We have decided that if she comes out to be AH, then we are thankful. If she comes out to be LP, we are thankful. I think that any woman and man who can have a child and have it be a symbol of their love for each other, they should thank their lucky stars. I would like her to be tall, so she would not have to go through the surgeries and the pain that her dad has been through, but if she is short, then at least she will have her dad to turn to. Her dad didn't meet another LP until her was 17, and it made things harder on him. She will also be involved extensively in LPA if she is short. Her dad doesn't prefer LPA, because of some of the views they have, but for kids, we both agree that LPA is wonderful. I guess to make a long story short, no pun intended, I just prefer my child to be healthy. God will send her the way he wants her to be Much Love, > > I have a question which may be silly, but I often wonder what other people > think.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I really would rather have any one thats healthy which I know thats what you said but if it was a thing where you could choose I would PERSONALLY choose LP. I know more about an LP life I could teach my youngster how to stand tall and strong with my kinda attitude and I know he or she would be cute because I am too! :0) I think I'd be a better parent to an Achon then an average sized although I've raised tall children myself. Thanks for asking.... :0) GlassSlipperFitz@... wrote: I have a question which may be silly, but I often wonder what other people think.

I have heard some little people who pray for dwarf children of their own, and I have also heard of little people parents who just say " I just want a child that is healthy " This I already know...so I guess I want to know: If you had a choice, little or tall, what would it be and why?

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hi most of the time im pretty quite on this forom but when this post came on i became very interested maybe becoz of the fact my friend who is short statured just had a baby. i personally myself wouldnt care if my baby was born short statured or average as long as it was healthy. what should it matter if it was short statured or average. I myself have had an awesome life being short statured been overseas due to the fact im short and im sure many other things awesome things that i have done in my life is becoz of my statured.yes of course i have had a few hard times in life but who hasnt even if they are tall or short. As long as you bring your child up to be positive with life love all walks of life and learn to have fun with the life it got.. Thanks Ammie (Australia) > > I have a question which may be silly, but I often wonder what other people > think.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I've thought about this question in the past. My father and I both have dwarfism. This is my opinion for myself only. If I had a biological child, I would hope he/she was an average sized child. Personally, I do not want to pass on the genes and have my child go through the things I went through, " because I caused the dwarfism and knew the risks " . But having a child with dwarfism would most likely be easier to carry through the 9 months term. ) If I were to adopt, I would adopt a child with dwarfism. Because there are many children with dwarfism who needs homes with people who understand what it's like. But either way, I would love the child and care for the child regardless of their height or medical issues. My other wish they would be healthy of course. a > > I have a question which may be silly, but I often wonder what other people > think.
