hey you 2 guys look great together. u should not bother about what the world says. u look really good i wish i had your looks and more over in today’s world and times we do not get such acceptable guys like Jeremy ya who see a persons heart and not the physical appearance of a person okay. that’s all i will say be happy and live a life of your choice and not of the world. bye take care and enjoy!
i would only say that god is great
WENDY and LARA you are a couple of stupid c**ts that need to grow up. It’s too bad there are people like you in this world. I watched the show last night and almost cried when she read out those comments. I reckon this family is awesome.
Hi there how are you all ? I just watched your amazing story here in Australia and i think what stuck out the most was your amazing beautiful daughter she has got to be the most amazing cutest little girl i have ever seen . Im have a daughter and another on the way and i sat there hoping my child would be as smiley and happy as yours to. Jermery lamb of god alright what a beautiful soul and caring nature you have if only all men took a leaf from your lifes book. Christiane you make me feel like i can do anything if i dont give up and i try . I hope you have many more children in the future and if your ever in Australia hope you know you all have a family here that welcomes you to stay . Your story melted my heart . good bless you all.Rachel Wilkinson
Hi Christiane and Jeremy wow wat can I say you guys are an inspiration to the human race. I have just watched your show and I was totally amazed. What you two have is really true love it touched my heart to see two such wonderful people tackling every obstacle there is in life together. You have the most gorgeous little girl. I think everyone needs to watch how wonderful you both are.Christiane I didnt sit and feel sorry for you because your personality out shone everything you made me laugh and that is the greatest gift. Jeremy is such a lovely guy & I can see his love for you he is so gentle and carefree person you are perfect for each other in every way. Christiane if I ever saw you & your family in the street I wouldnt stare at you I would hug you & thank-you for letting us all into your life. Congratulations to you both I hope all your wishes, hopes and dreams come your way because you all deserve the best life has to offer. Have the most wonderful life together full of all the love, joy and happiness in the world..xx
I think that your family and yourself are beautiful people
Done listen to anyone that says anything nasty they are just jealous of how happy you are.
Congrats on passing you first part of your license im sure you have your full license by now
You inspire me
Enjoy your life together and stay strong you are amazing.
You guys are truely an inspiration. I dont know what exactly deffines normal these days. I saw your story tonite on TV was absolutely amazed at how courageous you all are by shareing your incrediable story.
I see you as an ordinary person who was unfortunatly born with a bone condition, this was not your choice. You like every other women have the right to want to be *normal* have the same feelings and emotions as every one else only you are restricted by your size to be able to do as a *normal* person would. I commend you for trying to fufill all your hopes and dreams and for also trying to make your life easier to be a better parent to your adorable daughter.
It saddens me to see the nasty comments extended to you by small minded people but unfortunately that is part of life also, like you beeing small that is what makes them not *normal* also.
I dont know you but I am so proud of you for takeing into your own hands to try and make life easier for yourself to be a good mother and give your daughter every thing she needs, wich is far more then what I can say for ALOT of people in this world, alot of those *normal* people who adopt there children out or abandon them just because they dont want the responsibility, makes you far more *normal* than those.
I am blessed to have been able to have 5 children as a regular person, it is not easy I will admit that, but I love my children dearly and my heart goes out to you for everything you are doing.
Every one of us have some kind of support network, people we rely on for a little help with day to day as parents, be it daycare, nanys, babysitters excetra. You have your family with you to help, and how you do things is JUST YOUR FAMILYS WAY.
Again Im am extreamly proud of you guys and do hope to hear more of how your family is doing.
<3 xx
Hi to Christianne, Jeremy and Baby Kristen from Australia….! I just wanted to say how moved I was by your story on the ABC tonight. I think you guys are all so very blessed to have each other and to live with such fearlessness, determination and such love.

Lots of love from The Land Down Under…:-)

hi cristianne & Jeremy, i just watched my shocking story, in australia. u are both proof, that love conquers all. congradulations to u both. may u all have a happy life. and the people critising u both- well they are just jealous, coz u have it all. u are both an inspiration to us all. just forget the bad things people say, becoz in your heart, u know u both made the right decision. everyone deserves to live their life, regardless of their disabilities.
Hey Cristianne, just wanna say all the best and never let people and their ignorant comments get u down, ppl who say such things wouldnt last a day in ur shoes so why care for comments, complete IGNORANCE!!! Remember its not about the size of the person but the size of their heart and their conviction and u have more heart and conviction then such people, so smile and strive for all that u want in life and keep achieving all u want too dont let anyone hold u back!!!
I saw your story and just wanted to say to focus on the positive that people post about you. There are lots of haters out there and it is mostly becuase they are unhappy with where they are at in life.
You have a beautiful child, a loving man by your side and a supporting family therefore you have the whole world at your feet.
May you and your family stay safe and happy with a blessed life filled with joy.
hi i am in australia and have just watched the doco on you and your wonderful family i just wanted to say good on you for living your life the way you want to and don’t ever listen to small minded people they are just fools with no lives of their own and that i do hope you and your family have a wonderful life full of love and happiness
Hey Cristianne, just wanna say all the best , keep strong and strive for all those things u want in life, its not about size its about the heart and u have a bigger heart than alot of big people and thats all that counts…
As for people and their ignorant comments , thats exactly all that they are, IGNORANT!!! Put in that position themselves they wouldn last a day so its easy for them to say such ignorant comments, so never let their small minded comments get u down smile and be happy knowing that u are stronger than all of them…
All the best to u and ur family!!!
Hi Christiane and Jeremy: I just had the wonderful experience to see your TV show on FitTV here in Southern California. What a bright light you both are including your precious new baby. I have learned through diversity and difference growing up and my parents never made me feel different in any way like you Christanne. Congratulations on your engagement and future wedding. Can’t wait to see that televised. Remeber as do I every day: The most important thing is life is to be grateful for what we have TODAY. Love that you have found an incredible man as Jeremy. What character and integrity he has. Have a special life and God Bless you both and your beautiful baby girl.
Yeah. I am just now watching the story on fittv and some people have no intelligence what so ever. Cristianne, you are just fine the way you are and have a wonderful family who is blessed to have you in their life. Your personality is absolutely amazing and you are a beautiful person inside and out. I must say, you have the most beautiful eyes ever. Jeremy and yourself are amazing people and I must say that it would be amazing to have people like you in my life. Keep up the good work and don’t worry about what the idiots have to say. It is nothing. Your daughter is beautiful. Keep your head up and your heart wide open.
True love is not about what you have or how you look,you guys are an example of true love may god bless your family forever.Your baby is gorgous and god send you the best husband in the world.You guys are the best.:)
I just want to say to all the people that put them down for wanting a family is bullshit. Look at your own lives before you judge others, the world is not perfect and people have flaws but for you to call them freaks and whatnot is bullshit. Do you really think that Christianne’s parents thought she would be a dwarf and do you really think that their lives weren’t affected. Do you think Christianne wanted her child to be a dwarf. Probably not, but she gave birth to a beautiful little girl, she will be able to teach her daughter things you “normal” ignorant assholes can never teach your kids. Yes she is limited on what she can do for her child but there are many handicapped parents and they do a damn good job if not better then most people in this world. They fight battles daily because closed minded ignorant people can’t fucking open their eyes and see that everyone is different and everyone is special in their own way! They wanted a family, they knew the risks, and they chose together to try for a child knowing that there was a possibility she could die, the baby could die, or the baby could be a dwarf. They took those risks and they beat most of the odds so why hate on others. If you don’t like what is on tv or what you fucking read and see in the world then get rid of you tv, radio, and everything else and crawl into a cave where the world can’t affect your lives and where your stupidity can’t affect the rest of us!!
True love is not about what you have or how you look and you guys are an example of true love,congratulations.May god bless you and your family forever.Your baby is gorgous and god send you the best husband in the world.: ).
hey Cristianne and jeremy i am from india i saw your episode on nathional geogrophic i really love u both and i am inspired by you.i really feel very good for ur husband and ur sweet little daughter. i liked very much when i saw u driving awesummmmmm. i lv u and ur family vey much especially ur daughter.
All i can say u guys are best (:
Christianne should be ashamed of herself. She was irresponsible about sex and got pregnant. I’m glad that she and her daughter survived the ordeal. But her ignorance about dwarfism is pathetic – of course her daughter would have a higher risk than the child of a normal sized person! Christianne should have been responsible and done things like finish school and find a job to support herself (I don’t think her boyfriend is going to stick around after his dwarf fetish wears off) and her daughter. Only now is she considering getting a driver’s license? And she’s too dumb to pass the test. I don’t care that she is a dwarf but her immaturity bothers me. And she also looks like a ham!
your documentary was BREATHTAKING and very INSPIRING. OMGeeee i was just amazed because it must be really hard being a mother (being a little person and all), but you put all the effort you could into it and i think its so motherly and cute! it almost made me cry seeing all those mean comments from those aholes who are too blind to see wat a blessing it is to be able to conceive a beautiful and healthy baby girl/boy under your condition.. and just thinking about everyone else who WANT but CANT have any kids of their own, just makes me sad! i love kids and i hope that one day (God willing), i could have kids of my own. that would be the most beautiful gift to have. dont mind those mindless f***’s because they dont know who they’re dealing with, therefor, they’ll never be happy with their own lives, but i pray that someday they will learn from their mistakes and take back whatever mean things they said. may God take care of you and bless you all!
hey my boyfriend and i were watching ur show on discovery we think u guyz are wonderful jeremy is just the best. my boyfriend and i think ur so pretty!!!!! u guyz r such a awesome family no matter what those stupid haterz say or think cause what they say or think really doesnt matter. they just put those comments cause there unhappy and they dont like 2 c anybody happy. so just keep ur head up and keep being a wonderful mom just like u been doing.
hey Cristianne and Jeremy,i’m from Somalia and a few months ago i heard your story but a few weeks ago i watched your documentary and i’m really so impressed it. it brings tears to my eyes how cute cuoples you are and how Jeremy is amazingly wonderful and mercifull creature he’s. and how he treats and adore you makes me realise that there’s a still big heart people in this world.Dear Cristianne everything is blessing from the God and i’m pretty sure that your heart is bigger than anybody else in this world i can say your heart is measured your body. so all of you is walking heart..and i hope that your beautifull child ‘ll become just like his parents. imagine all people in the world having just the hearts you two guys have. indeed the world would be better place..Dear Cristianne dont give a tinker damn those sick-minded-heartless-ugly creatures. they dont deserve to be alive in this beautifull world..and if knew them i’ll bring them some crazy Somali pirates so they can torture their dirty asses from the earth. I pray for you that u last your live the Ultimate happiness and care and wish you and your family may Allah makes you the greatest couple alive in human history.aameen..peace
I watched your story a few weeks ago but have wanted to send a response. Your story really touched my heart. I commend you both for trying so hard to overcome all the obstacles that have got in your way. Your support system is key to your success. Cristianne your strength is amazing and the support and love that your parents and Jeremy offer is invaluable.
I’m not young (39) and I’m not small but I had to evercome so many obstacles to have a child. I had to go through fertility (I have an Ovarian Defect) and once getting pregnant not one thing was enjoyable about the pregnancy or the birth. I got pregnancy induced hypertension, preclampsia, 2 placentas, I was in and out of the hospital and in the end overdue they tried to induce me for 2 days. With nothing happening they conducted a c-section. The final result a beautiful, perfect baby boy that I live and breath for.
I wish you all the best and a beautiful healthy family. Please post an update when you are able.
Sincerely,
Cat
Just watched your show the other night and I think Jeremy is a great man!!!and Cristanne your a beautiful lady:) But please, please stop whining!!! I think your both wonderful parents and people but I really noticed the whining!! I don’t know how Jeremy can be so patient with the whining lol. Thats about the worst I Could say about you guys . I think your wonderful and your baby is adorable and I wish you both the best. Ignore all the assholes that leave horrible comments on here, they are the ones with the problem!!! your beautiful people wish you health, love and happiness:)
I just watched your story on A&E last night. I have to say Jeremy you are a GREAT man. I know men twice your age who are no where near the loving responsible father & partner that you are. Your little girl is beautiful. Watching you care for her made me cry,you just love your family & don’t let anyone change who you are. If you care and love your child the way I saw you do. She will grow up to be a beautiful, strong,intelligent women. Be proud of yourself & your family.
