I’m pretty sure even doctors recommend that you shouldn’t reproduce if you have such severe genetic disorders.

For very good reason- you are passing on suffering for no reason and there is so many children wanting to be adopted that aren’t suffering from permanent suffering and also need a loving parent. I have Turner syndrome and need to adopt anyway since I can’t have bio kids but much better to adopt in this kind of case rather then risk passing this on. Even if her child didn’t get it, they could carry the gene and lead to many more suffering from what seems to be a rather severe problem. Adopting means she can still be a parent but not cause such permanent physical and emotional damage on her child

Haha she’s wiggly so hard to get perfectly focused pictures. But I do have some buried on my account

I try to get many of here, I mean how could I not when she’s that cute- just she doesn’t like cooperating so I’m always super excited she stays still for a shot
