[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child with a birth defect (cosmetic only, his has no health issues associated with it--though some people with the same issue do (Port wine stain birth mark--Sturge Weber syndrome).

I understand fully that some people might think it makes him ugly, and it breaks my heart.   I still think he is gorgeous.[/quote]

That just makes him all the more special and gorgeous.  People can be nasty, but not everyone thinks that way.  :)[/quote]

I wouldn't think that way either, first PP.  But, fwiw, my DD (age 5) also has a birth defect (also cosmetic only -- it's on her face -- she was born w/ cleft lip/cleft palate -- it's repaired, but we have many plastic surgeries still to go up until she is about 18 and her face is adult-sized) and I know exactly what you mean when you wonder what other people think.  We haven't run into any negative feedback yet but I am told kids start noticing and commenting on things like this in about a few years, so I don't know how things will go when she gets older.:*(  Also, we've been in the same daycare/school since she was 3, so everyone just knows her for who she is, not what she looks like, but we are starting a new school next year as she enters kindergarten, so it will be a whole new community for us.  :*([/quote]
