Starting A Family
Charli explains the doctors told them they have four options when it comes to the genetic health of their future children: “our child could have a normal height or be born with my achondroplasia or Cullen’s acromicric dysplasia.” Cullen says they knew their options before they even consulted doctors.
But they also knew they wanted to have a family of their own more than anything! He says he’s thankful the doctors were so transparent with them, but it did make him think twice about starting a family. There was too much to lose. Were the couple really that desperate to have children? Would it be worth it?
