At just 2ft 7 inches tall, 19 year-old, Cristianne Ray is now considered the world’s smallest mom.
At just 2ft 7 inches tall, 19 year-old Cristianne Ray has become the smallest living woman to give birth. She has defied medical experts who said carrying a baby inside her pint-sized body would crush her lungs and kill her.
Doctors feared for Cristianne’s life and when they first heard of her unplanned pregnancy they urged her to have an abortion.
Cristianne was determined to have her baby, despite the risks, and now, against all odds, sits cradling her newborn baby in her arms. Proud dad, Jeremy Bowden towers over the pair of them at 6ft 4 inches. Baby Kyrsten was born 4lb 8oz and 14 inches long – almost half the height of her 31 inch mum.

from stef ;) x
>sue from england says i found your story super. you can tell that you were made for each other. don’t listen to what other people say about your size. you’re daughter maybe small but she has the love of both parents. hope you have a brillent marriage. also many more children with the love you have you will be very happy.
>As I am typing this comment here,I am watching the programme.Cristianne’s an amazing girl.She got on with her life superbly and never allowed,what some people mention as ‘Littleness’, her condition interfere with it.Jeremy is just great.I hope there are alot more people like him in this world.I hope all the best for you and your family.And by the way,Krysten is so so cute.I definitely pray for the baby.ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO WROTE BAD TO YOU,I APOLOGIZE ON THEIR BEHALF.DONT MIND THEM AFTER ALL THEY ARE AS WELL HUMAN AND IT DOESN’T MATTER IF THEY ARE TALL.You take care.My regards to your family and yea HAVE A BLASTY CHRISTMAS.From Salman
>Wow Christianne and Jeremy and your beautiful baby, you two were made for each other and have a love for each other which brings tears to my eyes- it’s an unconditional love, from where I am standing, and that’s a rare, beautiful thing. F**k those people who made those comments, I guess I must be grateful myself not to walk around with that much prejudism. I’d hate that, and they’ll never find true love because they don’t have a clue what real love is. Sad for them.
p.s I think you’re a stunner Cristianne, and you’d really suit a sexy straight across fringe (just had one meself) Sarah x
>I think this girl is completely selfish and irresponsible. She became pregnant without even researching if her condition was genetic. How selfish can you be that you’ll have a child without any regard to what you pass on to it. That poor baby in all probability has her condition, and the best part is Christiane says she doesn’t care… I bet the baby WILL when she grows up to be barely a meter tall.
>Hey im watching the show right now on TLC and i just wanted to say what a beautiful baby girl you have and may you be happy and healthy in your life and future marriage! I think your a role model for all mothers out there…love can conquer all. Whether it be your size, a birth defect or just a personal struggle!
Congrats! :D
>i hate it how people say bad things about this…..i have birth defects and i would hate it if my mom got rid of me just because of that….so what is wrong with this….a woman having a baby….women do that all the time…..i do not understand how people could be saying bad things when there are a lot of bad things we should be addressing like war and global warming…..just because a woman has a baby sure shes a bit short but i am sure ‘short’ people have kids all the time……
i just hate people who say bad things about it…..i really really do…..it gets me so mad…..
so i am with ya jeremy and krysten…….rock on sista….rock on…..
>You are incredible people!! May you and your beautiful baby have a wonderful life! You may be only 2 feet tall, but you tower above most people! You rock!
>Cristianne made the excellent point that both her parents were “normal.” Though there was more of a chance of her baby having the condition, it can happen to anyone. Is it selfish for someone with a family history of heart disease to have a baby? Is it selfish for someone with arthritis to have a baby? In conceiving a child, you always take risks. No one ever knows how their child will be born. I would much rather be the two foot tall daughter of Cristianne and Jeremy, than a normal-sized daughter of someone as pig-headed as Mr. or Ms. Anonymous commenter. I commend the two of them for being the great parents they are. She’s a beautiful little girl and I wish them the best of luck.
>You are so great! The lord is on your side girl. He seen that you were a great person.I hope that you, your hubby, and you awesome daughter have the best life. Your family is truly a gift from the heavens. I also would like to say that it is so great that you have this show. It lets the world know more about people that are small. Which is still kinda crazy for some people. Rock on Girl. Heather
>Cristianne, I was just watching you on the TLC channel ‘My Shocing Story’ and when I heard you reading off the rude comments from some of the ignorant people in this world I knew I had to find a way to say what i feel. I think you are yourself, a beautiful miracle. And thank God for your own parents and family for the love you have gotten. And to see you so happy with your fiance Justin, well…it just makes my heart feel good. Don’t you ever let the rude comments from these ignoramuses upset you or your beautiful family. You go girl. I wish you all the happiness and love this world has to give you. You are so brave. The obstacles you face everyday are daunting and to see you so happy with your new baby and fiance are a testimony to you. So be happy, Cristianne. There are so many more of us out there who wish you the very best! Take care.
From Michele in NL Canada
>I think you are a beautiful family! You are a wonderful woman with a winnning spirit and I truly admire your husband. Most of us worry day in and day out about so much superficial bullshit that carries no weight. We all have our challenges in life. But how well we deal with them? People could learn a lot from you. I was feeling so bad about my situation until I turned the channel and saw your story. I couldn’t turn away. I’m so inspired. It made me realize the mistake I made in my relationships was the same. I married two men who didn’t love me for who I am. They only loved what I looked like. Once they had me, they disrespected and mistreated me. I hope one day I’m as lucky as you to experience the love that you have for each other. It’s not just your husband’s love for you. It’s yours for him as well. He should consider himself to be a very lucky man.
>This is from megan. I am 15 years old and I think it is great that you made it through the pregnancy and that your baby is healthy. everyone is entitled to a child and I think everyone should have one. I am watching your show right now and it is amazing. I wish the best of luck to you and your family. I think that your family and your daughter are beautiful. dont listen to those people who say you shouldnt have a child. I bet if they were in your position they would want children. I hope you have a great life and that your daughter grows up to be happy and healthy.
>I have Spina Bifida…my mom didn’t get rid of me and I’m happy about that! How can anyone judge another? I pray and know that if that young girl is happy and healthy then her baby will also!
>Crisianne you are an amazing, beautiful, inspirational woman. i am watching the show as i type this and i hope that one day i will able to touch someone like you have touched me. your baby is beautiful and jeremy is an amazing guy. dont pay attention to those negative comments, it doesnt matter what those people say. best of luck with your new family. xoxo.
>Hi, I am watching you try your wedding dress on, and am so happy for you. I am from the island of Jamaica, and want to say big up to you and your fiance. All the very best. Forget those losers who have nasty stuff to say….they are the ones who are defective and need lots of help. You go girl…You are beautiful and Jeremy is a very lucky man.
>When You are in a shopping cart, people stare because they are trying to get a grip on what they are seeing. A teenager in a cart, where are her legs?
Especially older people.
I have to admit, that the most annoying thing about you is your whiny (at times) voice.
;)
what is really horrible is that you are a teenage, unwed mother. (also a bit of a joke.) Once you’re married, who can complain?
Good luck with your marriage and future.
>I just wanted to say that u are a very strong beautiful person with a very beautiful baby. May god bless you guys and keep strong.
>Okay Cristianne…first of all, you need to grow up. You have a baby now. Can you stop all that irritating whining to Jeremy. And, Jeremy…stop carrying that girl around!! She can walk..gezzz!!
Show that baby that she can be independent, because he can’t carry you both!!
>You know what Chrsitianne, you go girl! Don’t worry about the negative things people say on here. They don’t know you, they do not know your ability to be a good mom and wife to Jeremy. You both have a beautiful baby and are in love. That’s great!
Keep living your life and be strong, honey. Don’t let the jerks get you down.
>i am amazed at your story. I am so happy for you and Jeremy on your marriage. Though I’ve never met either of you, I know your love for each other is real, and I so admire that. If only everyone in the world could experience such love, then maybe they wouldn’t be so bitter! I am shocked at some of the horrible comments people have made. Everyone on this earth deserves to live. And every woman deserves to to give birth to their own children if they’re able, which obviously, YOU ARE! Just look at the amazing and strong person you’ve become despite of this trial in your life. You’ve found true love, in a spouse, as well as your sweet baby! In my opinion anyone who thinks someone shouldn’t have the right to live or give life because of a disability or birth defect, then they certainly have no right to live either. I agree with every word from the comment that alicia made. Cristianne, Jeremey, I admire you both, I think you’re amazing people and you have a BEAUTIFUL baby girl! Congrats
>Hello. i think you guys are amazing parents. ignore what other rude comments other people are saying. if you want to have kids them you have them. just because your a little person doesnt mean you cant have a normal life. i hope your baby is healthy and you two have a great life together.
>cristianne i saw your show an just wanted to say GOD BLESS youre fiancee thats a real man.Keep up the good work and never let anything or anyone get in the way.GOD BLESS YOU BOTH and the baby.
>I was watching your show tonight and i just cant believe of all the rude people in this world. I think you are a true miracle from God. He placed you and this earth with a challenge. Thats what I would consider your disability to be. You have showed many Americans and others that you can do anything and nothing will stop you. I admire that. We need more amazing people in this world like you guys. You have a beautiful daughter and I personally think you should have more. She’s gorgeous! Your daughter will be so proud of you because I think that you will do your best on raising her the way you were raised. Your parents also did a wonderful job with you. I love your personality too. Good luck with your wedding. God bless you and your family.
>I saw your show today on TLC, and I wish you and your family best of luck and health. Do not pay attention to the ignorant people, just know that you are the best mother. And I admire you, because you so brave!!!
>I saw your show today on TLC, and I wish you and your family best of luck and health. Do not pay attention to the ignorant people, just know that you are the best mother. And I admire you, because you so brave!!!
>Hi, i responded earlier “lori W”. I should be ashamed of myself.
Hey Jeremy, we need more men like you. I watched the show for an hour and I was so amazed on the job that you do. Not many man would take on a task that you have gained. You are one of a kind and I think you will be recongized for all the love and hard work you do. Also I would like to say that I’m sorry to here about what happened to your mom when you were a child. God bless you.
>I will be in therapy for YEARS after the visual of this guy wandering around the flat neckid with this chick impaled on his member.
There are SO MANY reasons besides size why this girl has no reason for reproducing…
>Been watching the show…good luck with everything. I just watched where you were reading comments off the internet, and there are some complete idiots out there! Don’t listen to thim. you have a great guy and a beautiful baby! you are gorgeous, I really wish you all the best of luck…
laura
>hey I’m watching your show right now. I think you 2 are great parents. and for all of those people our there who say ohh she a midget she should die. ya know what shut up! she is a normal person just like you and me. just like she said how you guys said she is taking risk at having kids so are you cuz her parents are both tall. so please just be nice. she a normal person. start treating her like one.
>I searched for a site to post a comment after watching the TLC program and being appauled by the other comments that ignorant people left. I know that I dont have to say it but both you and Jeremy are wonderfully special people, and the world would be a much better place if there were more people with hearts as pure as yours. It warms my heart to see you two rewarded with such a precious daughter. Christianne, do not let those negative people consume your light and your spirit! Focus on the wonderful things around you and thankyou for being an inspiration. Cheers! -Alex, Canada.
>Hey! Don’t worry about all of these people leaving negative comments they’re just unhappy and jealous of the love you and Jeremy have. Congratulations on the baby and I hope you 3 have a great life together.
>I am watching this show as I write this and I think the love you and Jeramy show is this type of love we all look for , regardless of size. God bless you both.
>hi,

>I think all these people who are writting nagative comments can go to hell. It is a blessing to be a mother and to have a good man in your life. I wish you guys all the best. You tell that baby she can be whatever she dreams of in life.
>Hello Cristianne and Jeremy… my name is kurt.. i just watched your show on TLC.. i’m so happy for you two..

>God bless your family, I am 28 years old and 5 feet tall. I am not categorized as a little person, but I plan to adopt many that are. I love being “shorter” and I think that anyone who looks down upon short people need to re-evalute their priorities and judgements. Good luck in everything you seek out in life.

>Cristianne Ray I just want to say I am sorry for all the negative replies you have received. I am sure it’s not what you want to hear. I also hope that you and your family have a long happy/loving relationship together. Take care and live life to the fullest

Loved watching your story on TLC. You have a wonderful, positive man in your life and a beautiful daughter.
Stay strong and enjoy life…
>I wanted to say congratulations on the baby, I know it’s belated but I just saw the show “My Shocking Story” on you. What an amazing story it was! I give you props for being able to stand up to all of the negativity on the e-world. It’s truly unfair and God will judge them, I’m sure not too lightly!

>Hii i just finished watching your show. I honestly think its a miracle after what doctors had said about your pregnancy and the risks. I am a teenage mother myself. 17 years old my son is 6 months. people need to lose those additudes thinking we cant do it cuz we are young. but we can and will be just fine. your daughtr is beautiful. you are so strong for doing what you did for her. good luck in the future. i wish you all the best. you both are doing such a good job getting through the challenges. there is no need to listen to the negative comments becuz in the end you have your daughter to look forward to. i have faith that you will be an amazing mother. Again…good luck i wish you and your family ALL THE BEST and happiness for the rest of your lives.
>i am also watching you as we speak and it shocked me how many very rude comments you have gotten from other people the world is soo cruel and i just had a baby boy in december and i know one thing you 2 are very strong parents and i know just like every parent in the world that you would die for your child.i know you will live a life full of dreams and happiness and parent hood brings soo much joy to everyone and whatever anyone says dont let anything get you down because you are the most luckiest parents in the world

>Jeremy and Krysten … You both are beautiful people. Ignore these IGNORANT people that say “unwed teen” and the nasty things they said about your BEUTIFUL baby. The only thing that is “different” about you is your a wonderful mother with limitation taking care of your baby and you have a man that LOVES you and is going to marry you unlike some unwed teens.
My God bless you and your family.
You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers as you get married and raise that BEUTIFUL baby of yours
>Christianne and Jeremy-
I am so pleased that you televised your story. I think your story will help people wake up and make them more aware of the different types of people in the world and make it more personal. I believe a lot of the negativity is due to lack of education regarding disability and people don’t personally know or interact with people who may have them. Don’t worry about them-you both are an amazing couple with a beautiful baby girl. Many people today can’t even have children of their own! you both are so lucky to have eachother. It is so wonderful you can help guide your daughter Christianne seeing as you have been through it. Jeremy you are an amazing man-keep it up! Christianne-Don’t feel weird around others who are little people–it doesnt make you seem any “more” different. They dont want to be discriminated against just like you don’t im sure :) you are always you no matter who you surround yourself with. i wish you all the best and look forward to working with a diverse group of individuals with my future occupation of physical therapy. Congratulations and God Bless :) Liz
>I think you are all so brave and have a beautiful daughter. no matter what size doesn;t matter as long as your baby is healthy. And she has such an awsome mom who can teach her all the short-cuts to getting around in life and who has such a strong personality that nothing ever gets her down. Children are the greatest blessing and its just wonderfull to see them discover the world for the first time. Enjoy every day of it. and congrats on the upcomming wedding. Life would never be whole without children
>To Christianne, Jeremy, baby Kyrsten, and parents: Y’all are awesome, and the fact that you are willing to share your story, even to the ignorant people in the world, shows you do care about your baby. I am truly sorry about Jeremy losing his mom to cancer, you are in my prayers. Congratulations Christianne on passing your drivers test! Your parents are just wonderful. If you have a myspace account, I would love to add you to my friends list, and keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Victoria and David (North Carolina)

>what a beautiful family you have christianne! you are so lucky to have such a lovely baby and wonderful fiance. as i was watching your story i was waiting for empathetic feelings to strike me-they never did. just envy!keep on rocking!
>hi cristianne.Just wanted to say that I think you and your family are so beautiful and that I want to leave you with this thought.Every single human being has some sort of disability.you might not be able to see it visually but we all have our certain problems,whether it be drugs,mental problems,anger problems,selfishness etc. with you it is just visual,which must make life hard sometimes because of other peoples ignorance.please never forget that you,your husband and your beautiful daughter are gifts from God and that you are an inspiration to me and my family.God bless you and your family cristianne and thank you for sharing your life with us.I hope that you have as many children as you desire.
>I just saw your show on TLC. I just wanted to say you are a very lucky woman to have such a beautiful daughter and loving fiance. i wish you all the best with your daughter and marriage.
>You are both AWESOME!! And you have a very beautiful baby girl! You each remind me of friends of mine, and you each seem like you’d be awesome friends for anybody. Take care–and keep setting records okay?
>I just wanted to pass on some positive feedback :) I watched your show tonight and I hope that you do not listen to any of ignorant comments that you recieve. You are a very capable mother. I pray that God continues to keep his hand upon you and your family. You have a great spirit, and it was wonderful to see that tonight. As I was watching I was wondering if you had ever considered any occupational therapy. They may be able to make things a little easier with some great techniques. God Bless :)
>You two are beautiful people. Thanks for being who you are.
>IM WATCHING THE SHOW AS WE SPEAK,,AND I TOO AM A YOUNG MOTHER TO A LITTLE GIRL WITH A SERIOUS MEDICAL CONDITION..I THINK ITS AMAZING THAT YOUR FIANCE IS A STAND UP GUY FOR BEING SO YOUNG AND WANTING TO BE THERE.

I WISH THE BEST OF LUCK FOR YOU BOTH AND YOUR DAUGHTER..I HOPE SHE GROWS UP TO BE AS BEATIFUL AND OUTGOING LIKE YOU. AND THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND..CONGRATULATIONS!!

>U GO Gurl Hey u look great ur baby is beutiful and u got a good man yes yes that is what its about loving someone for who they are . Its to bad that people in our world belive that we all are suppose to be and look one way how dumb are they, Just goes to show u how ignorant some pepole are . So to all those rude commentors out there on my gurl Kyrsten and Jeremy and there cute little gurl. STOP HATEIN and get a life . Keep ur head u guys god bless u Felicia J
>You’re overweight to the point of endangering your life, you can barely HOLD your baby, let alone take care of it, so your husband can’t work. The doctor tells you that your daughter has the same condition you have, and your biggest concern is getting your driver’s license and an expensive car that you have no hope of paying for. Who do you expect to pick up the tab for your support?
…..and now you want to have TWO MORE?!?!?!?
Girl, you have the mind of whiney, spoiled child. The mere thought of bringing another child so afflicted into the world is the HEIGHTH of absurdity.
GROW UP…….
>Cristianne…If you go to http://www.suregrip-hvl.com, this company specializes in providing accomodations to people who have challenges with driving. They should be able to help you out with this. Take care, and good luck:)
>Hey Cristianne…
I just wanted to say I watched your show and it was awesome..It really shows the world that there are still a few good people left out there..Honey don’t listen to those rude and mean comments made by some of the others, because your much better then that and there not that important anyway..Seems like to me they don’t have a heart..I am so happy for you Cristianne, Because you can have children and show them love no matter what there disablity is..I can’t have children and I am 21 years old and trust me it hurts to know that..I wish you all the best and hope you are doing good..I wish they would have a follow up show on you because you touched my life as well as you did many others..I thank you for letting us have a peek into your life..I know being your size and taking care of your baby is hard but, I know it is well worth it….Well may God bless you all..Stephanie-South Eastern Ky
>We watched TLC and saw your show – we think you are very courageous. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful fiance and a wonderful daughter. You have it all.
You are the cutest thing ever – you guys are the nicest people.
You deserve the best.

>PLEASE READ THIS:
i would love for every single one of you here who have said something negative about this girl, to spend one day in her shoes. i think more babies like her would be GOOD for the world, diversity is what keeps the human race alive! what would you do if your friend, neighbour, brother or sister or maybe you, had a recessive gene in your blood line for dwarfism??? you all could be hypocrites and not even be aware. If i were you i would become educated just the slightest before passing on judgement to others. because we all know noone likes it when they are the target of plain old SLANDER.
>Cristianne, I think you, your husband and your baby make a beautiful family but I was shocked when I heard you want to have 2 more children. I don’t think that is very responsible of you to bring 2 more children into this world when you can’t work and won’t realistically be able to support them without the help of others. Your husband takes care of your daughter, obviously because of your disabilities so who is going to take care of any other children? And what if they are also born with your condition? Why put them through that? You should be happy you have a healthy child and raise her to be a beautiful person. Time for you to grow up and be realistic, you were lucky thing went so well with your birth so why risk it again?
>Cristianne,
My daughter and I watched your show last night. I was so touched.
I want to take a moment and tell you that you are an amazing girl. You are truly blessd to have Jeremy. Just by watching you can see the love he has for you. God Bless you and your family. Dont let anyone put you down.
>hey my sister and i watched your show last night and we have never seen such a pretty lady whos small like you. you have been very blessed with your looks you husband and you baby, best wishes to you. see you on tv. :)
>hello i watched ur show last night. your right any normal paople could have a little baby also. im just happy your a great mom
>Hubby & I watched your show last night on TLC, and he wanted me to write and thank you. Since retiring, I’d been bugging him to move to Seatle. With the image of you behind a steering wheel burned in my mind, I’ve stopped. SERIOUSLY though, I feel sorry for your mother. She has you to care for, now Jeremy and a baby, and you want 2 more?? Get real!! Buy some dolls instead. I don’t think you should have killed your baby, she’s adorable, but I agree with the folks on here that say you need to grow up, and fast! You can’t even care for yourself, much less an innocent child. As far as Jeremy caring for your children, give it 5 years and let’s see how far he can run. He’s 19 years old and will grow up. He’s going to get tired of lugging you around and listening to your incesant whining. Unlike you, he should be able to get a job somewhere. And you want to get a driver’s license so you can — what?? Be more independent? Are you going to have an elevator installed so you can get into the car? Having someone pick you up, put you in the car, take you out when you get where you’re going, etc. is NOT independent. It’s just so you can have “fun” behind the wheel. And who’s going to pay for all these modifications to your car? The tax payers? Sweetie, you desparately need to do some growing up. I have nothing against people with disabilities, my husband and I are both disabled. However, you need to be realistic. You could start by truly trying to be more independent. Try walking more, try dieting some of your weight off for your health, stop whining about everything and do more things for yourself. Bringing a new life into the world makes most people more mature, but you’ve suffered none of the consequences of that thanks to the help of your folks and Jeremy. Maybe that’s why you seem to be crippled mentally. Wait a few years before you have more disabled children. Jeremy will be a handfull of gone, and you’re putting a helluva burdon on your parents with your irresponsible whims! You (and Jeremy) are in desparate need of a reality check.
>Christianne,
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl and your engagement! I want to tell you that I am inspired by your story! You are a very strong woman! Going out and learning to drive is such a great step! I can see by that, you are a great mother! You are setting such a great example for your daughter! A lot of Americans like to feel sorry for themselves and use their dissabilities to get other people to feel sorry for them as well! I am so happy that you are going out and makeing the best of doing all that you can do! That is wonderful!
I wanted to comment you on something you said while you were out bowling with your family. You said, “I want to sit up on the chair like the real people.” You are a real person. You have emotions. You laugh and cry just like most of us in this World! Why would you think you were’nt a real person?
You are beautiful and your personality is amazing! It isnt often that I can turn on a tv and feel like I want to meet a person because their personality was so outstanding by just watching tv for an hour. That is amazing your personality is so strong!
The comments I heard you read off the internet were insane! Those people had no right to judge you the way they did! They are nowhere close to perfect! You are right, just because they are big dosent mean they cant have a little person either.
I want to tell you I was inspired by you. My son was 12 weeks premature weighing only 3lbs 7oz. I was so emotional in everything I felt was uncomfortable for him. Even now, him being 10 months old, if his stomach hurts or when he was in the hospital even if I felt he was uncomfotable I would get emotional. Seeing your daughter struggeling while drinking her bottle and only being able to watch in hopes she starts breathing soon has to be the hardest thing you have to deal with!
I wish all 3 of you and your parents and siblings the best of luck i your future! Congratulations on your wonderful new family and good Luck with your marriage!

>By the way, reading the ignorant judgemental comments. If your shild is born and has Christianne’s condition, what are you going to do?
I have a hemangioma on my lip. I have gone through a lot of trouble and been made fun of a lot! I used to wonder why I was even alive, not only because I had the defect but also because my parents abandoned me and left me to fend for myself as just a young child 11yrs old. I have grown used to my defect.. although people still say things about it, me being 19 now. My husband loves me for who I am and obviously wasnt looking for looks but he sees me for who I truly am.. another great thing is I have a beautiful healthy baby boy! I didnt find out that it was a possibility that he could be born with the same defect until after I had him. He does not have the affect so in the future when Christianne has more children it is a possibility she does not have a child with the same birthdefect as she has.
>OH MY F’ING GOD! I just watched your show, and cristianne you are the whiniest person ever, You act like your fricken 5. I feel bad for Jeremy. You should of had an abortion! Now Jeremy can’t leave your ass because you are so dependent on him. He has to pick you up and carry you everywhere?? Loose some weight for god sakes. You can’t even hold your kid,change its diaper or carry her! Your pathetic. HEY JERMEY COME SEE ME I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT A REAL WOMAN CAN DO!!!! cristianne GROW UP and quit whining all the time. Your voice was sooo annoying how can jeremey stand you
To bad kyrsten has to grow up with you for a mother!
LOVE YA!
>Christianne, in case you see this thread, I want you to know that I think that you’re a really amazing person, and that your baby is incredibly adorable. I hope that she grows up to be as strong a woman as her mum! Congratulations on having such a beautiful daughter, and on your upcoming marriage.
Oh, and I think that your learning to drive is fantastic! I’ve had my learning permit for two years, and even though I’m a taller person, so I can reach the controls of basically any vehicle, I’m still massively nervous behind the wheel, and I don’t know if I’ll ever manage to learn properly. I’m sure you’ll do a *much* better job than I have at learning!!
All the best,
Beth H.
>Don’t let ignorant people who stare and make comments about you or your personality ruin your life they are all just ignorant and only think of yourself i think you are just fine and completely normal. I wish you all the best
All the best,
A caring soul.
>Cristianne, My name is Christina I live in the Puyallup area. When I watched your show I was so touched, on how you do your dailey business. Thats so awesome for you. You have a wonderful man and baby. When I was watching your show it felt like I have known you for years… really weird but true. YOU are so beautiful. very pretty. As weird as it is My two neices and one newphew goes to the same dr. as you. DR. Russell. It was really weird.
I want to thank you for being such a wonderful person, small or not you are awesome. Who cares if you are 2 ft 9 or 6 ft 9. it doesnt matter, God made us this way for a reason.
Your daughter is a very special little girl, I know she will be well taken care of and loved so much.
Who cares if Jeremy dont work…. Thats more preicous time that he got with his new baby girl.
And here is a note to all the rude people…
Until you have tried living a life as 2 ft 9. DONT TALK SHIT.
Of course, I would want my honey to carry me around. They just need to grow up, and if they have nothing better to do then sit around on the computer and be rude to people that have a life, then they are the ones people should be talking about…
Cristianne, I have a myspace, I want you to look me up if you have one… PLEASE.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL AND IF YOU WANT MORE BABIES THATS YOUR CHOICE.
>I don’t see how people can allow themselves to insult Cristianne. I am watching the programme as i write this. I felt extremely upset when she began reading the comments. You are no different to the next person Cristianne, you are more beautiful than many. Who does not want children? You had every right to become pregnant, no one would know how your baby would grow and no one should care how she does. As long as you and Jeremy are that is all that matters and all you should care about. I wish you, Jeremy and your beautiful child all the luck in the world.

>hi i am watching the programe as we speak, i think you are an encredible women and it doesnt matter how tall you are, you can get on with your life and i like the fact that you are doing that. your daughter is sooooo pritty and cute. dont let them horrible people who wrote them horribel things put you down because you are truely amazing. good luck with your family life
lots of love Rebekah

>Cristianne, bless your little heart! You have more problems in your young life than you are able to realize as yet. I understand the need to be a mother, and you have done that. It’s unfortunate that your daughter was born with your condition as well, but you didn’t know at the time whether or not that could happen. However now that you do know, please please don’t bring any more children into the world who might have your affliction! Just because you have been able to adjust well and find love doesn’t mean that they will. It is very painful for a parent to see their child hurting, and that may be what you have to watch in your children. You also don’t know how well your own health will hold out. How would your parents feel if you lost your life trying to have another child? Who will care for you if you lose your parents and/or Jeremy? You could not care for your children on your own. There are just so many things to be considered. Give yourself some time to mature and grow up a bit before you make such an important decision, and pray very hard about it. God bless you and your family!
>Hey Jeremy, You are really lucky mate. You have the most beautiful little person. Christianne is really beautiful and fantastic -love your family.
Kev, London
>I cannot believe what hurtful things some people say on here! who do yall think you are to pass judgment on someone else. I guarantee everyone of you that typed something negative have a wasted nonproductive life, and it just make you feel better about yourself. I think you guys have challenges just like every new family, and it seems like you got it together. and as for having more children I think if your willing to put your own life on the line for them,that tells me you are a unselfish wonderful mom. GOOD LUCK AND MY GOD BE WITH YOU!!!
>hey cristianne, i am watching your documentary now,in Singapore, in Asia, you are truly wonderful, with your beautiful family, you are truly inspirational, your smile and your warmth brings a smile to my face just by watching your expressions, now on the tv i am watching you learn to drive, you are a hero, god bless you
>dewy from singapore, just watched the show too…i just was totally amazed. i literally just went speechless seeing you guys, all of us can only pray we will find a love like yours. you don’t need anybody’s permission to love, or give life. stay strong and amazing. all my love and respect…
dewy
>Hey,was finished watching your documentary,and it really touches life,inspired me a lots.You are really fortunate to have something while other freaks out there dont have,brains.Anyway,hope everything is doing good for you,especially that delicate precious of yours.And you are definitely included in jesus prayers,as well as your family.Rock on with your driving licence,haha wish i could have one too.LOLS
>hi Cristianne, i watched your documentary last night and i come from Singapore. youre such a inspiring person. i dont know if this will reach you, but yea. you have such a loving husband and i sincerely wish the both of you well. and of course your baby. i do wish there is some sort of way to know how you and your family is doing.

>hey Christianne,

>yalo jeremy,
juz wanted to tell u that you r one of the most loving & caring hubby in the world!
christianne, u are a very lucky woman to have this man as your hubby!
Always stay strong & positive towards your everyday life!cheers!
>Cristianne, I can tell by watching your show that you want what most young ladies your age want. The difference is that you aren’t able to care for the one child you have, much less having more. And wanting to drive is normal too, but what is the point unless it is to have fun? You can not even be independent in your own care. You need to be more realistic and get interested in things you are able to do, not all these romantic notions of being like “normal” people. Normal is what is normal for you, not the average person. I have limitations too, and it was hard to accept that there are many things I just can not do. I did accept it finally, and I found lots of things I could do without all the problems. I am much happier now and don’t live in a dream world — instead, I live in a world where my dreams are realistic and can come true. It’s much better than wishing a fairy tale could come true. I think you need to grow up some more.
Anyway, you probably won’t listen to me, it’s not what you want to hear. I know I didn’t listen to advice for a long time. I should have, and I could have been happy much sooner.
Good luck, and think about it.
>I saw your show and I think that your a very strong person and wish nothing but the best for you and your family and just ignore those ignorant people who say all those bad things about you. I think that your strong and I dont think that I would be able to go through what you have. GOD BLESS YOU
>Cristianne and Jeremy , I was watching your show tonight and I seen how dedicated your try to be for your child. I wanted you to know that you are doing a great job and God always Blesses us and puts us through trials to see how far we can go. Jeremy, you are a wonderful father. I praise you in your strength to take this at a stride. You are goning to a great father and husband . Keep up the good work you 2 and kiss the baby for me. God bless you and your family
>I am also watching the program, and frankly F the people who put you down. You have a beautiful family… those people have no right to tell you or your fiance what is right or wrong. the love you guys share,as well as you daughter, is nothing short of a miracle, a gift from whatever universal powers that be. much love and god health to you, from one mom to another. Oresama
>I’m watching the show as I type this and I just thought that I should say something about the mean things people posted. It doesn’t matter what people say about you being short. You can accomplish great things. (You already have by having a baby.) The people who have said mean things don’t have anything against you. It doesn’t matter what they say. It doesn’t matter if you’re 19. They’re many 19 year old and under that have babies. You should never be more persecuted just because you are a dwarf. You are a great person. I hope your baby stays healthy. Have and good marriage. -Catherine
>just want to bless you and your beautiful family. you are one of the most lukiest wemen in the world to reseve what you got. God has wonderful plans for you, and i know it! we love you and well pray fpr you from the bottom of my heart.

>Cristianne,
i’m watching a show about you on the discovery health channel right now and you were reading off these comments that people left you online.. saying things like “midgets should be executed” and “if your baby is little then she should be put to sleep”?? these are HORRIBLE people with some *serious* issues. PLEASE don’t take what they say personally. no one but the mentally ill or deranged would think that way, and to tell you the truth, *they* probably don’t even actually think that but are just trying to be controversial for attention. you just do what you want and what you think is right. you love that baby and are taking good care of her and that’s all that matters. you seem like a really fun person and more power to you for doing what you want to do, no matter the obstacles! you’re an inspiration :)
>Hey you guys just keep working on your family love each other and that will be the best come back you can do to the ignorant folk who say such horrible things. We are all born flawed human beings and it who we become on the inside that determines our worth and certainly not how tall we are. I think it is wonderful that you found each other. I have had over 29 operations myself and I am 5’6. I wish you all the best and dont let anything any dingbat says bother you, Rae, Georgia
>Oh, and PS- you’re not the only one that sucks at bowling ;) i’m of average height and am awful!
>Just watched your story on tv. The two of you make a wonderful couple. I commend you for going ahead with your pregnancy and you now have a beautiful daughter due to your courage. Jeremy should be commended too…what a caring and loving person he is. To take care of his Mother at such a young age and to be so involved now. You can tell that he loves you both so much. All the best to you in your lives ahead. Lori
>Dear Cristianne and Jeremy,
I’m watching a re-run of the show. I just wanted to tell you that you’re both beautiful people inside and out. Cristianne, my dear, I loved seeing you smile. You are so pretty!
I know it’s hard when people stare at you and say hurtful things. The same thing happens to me all the time and I just tell myself that I don’t have a problem THEY are the ones with the problem.
Continue to surround yourself with people who love you. You have a beautiful daughter. She’s very lucky to grow up with two parents who obviously love her very much.
Bless you,
Kimberly
>To Cristianne and Jeremy…I just got done watching your show and I Instantly had to look you up online because I got terribly angry at what you were reading off of the computer what comments people were leaving. Ignore what people say because they will just get the best of you. And that was exactly what they wanted to hear Is that they actually hurt your feelings. There are some truly horrible people In this world and they should definitely not be a judge of character. They forgot one little thing…a little thing called karma, they want to talk about whats wrong with you well they better watch out when there child is born because karma might come around to bite them in the ass and if there child is already born that same thing could still bite. People are cold and heartless and just think of how they will raise there children to be just like them cold and heartless. Your baby will not be like that because you are a good person. Remember real beauty is on the inside but as I can see on you It Is also on the outside. You are a beautiful girl and dont let anyone tell you differently. And that baby Is absolutely BEAUTIFUL so screw what people say. I wish you and jeremy and that beautiful baby the best and all the happiness in the world!!
>I’m watching your show today on the Health Channel. I live just north of Seattle! And this is the first I have heard of you and your story – my head must be in the ‘sand’. LOL! I think you and Jeremy are very brave. I’m very glad that you are going to live your life the way you want to regardless of any challenges and/or hardships. Eliz
>Cristianne, I noticed you reading posts on your computer, on your show. I could not believe the odasity of the people that left those lame comments. The funny thing is that besides your bones every aspect you is normal. In fact more normal than most. You are different physically but others are far worse in there polluted insecure minds. You are the American dream and you are my new inspiration, thank you.
>Hello! Discovery health is showing Worlds Smallest Mom, now. First, Cristianne is absolutly beautiful, Jeremy is very handsome and Krysten is just gorgeous! I think all of you are just so wonderful. I want to wish you all the best of luck and wanted to let Cristianne know about something we have in Maryland. Its duckpin bowling, the balls and pins are smaller and I think you would enjoy it alot. Anyways, best of luck and wishing you all the happiness in the world.
Hugs

>Hey Cristianne Ray and family! You and your family are truely blessed. i think that the people who leave negative comments are bitter because a person with your condition can find love and they cant. they’re just haters and will always be bitter and lonely. they cant find one person to love them and you have millions who love you. much luv
>Cristianne,
It upset both my wife and I when we heard the comments you read from what we call “ignorant people”. They don’t appreciate life or the love of someone special no matter the size or other needs of the person. If these people had a child which was small or of special needs and didn’t want them then they could send the child/children our way. We appreciate your and your family’s story being told on Discovery Health.
Our daughter was premature with health problems of her own. We were told if she lived past preschool age that we would have to institutionalize her and she would never walk or talk. They were wrong on all accounts we are glad to say.
You enjoy your family and don’t let those “ignorant people” get you down.
Peace, Blessings, and Love,
Rev. Robert E. and Rev. Denise S. Murchison, Vision Ministries, Sallisaw, Oklahoma
p.s.
How are you, your daughter, and your husband doing. Since the show was filmed you should have had your wedding by now. Hope you are all doing fine.
>In just watched your show, and I think your a beautiful and wonderful person! And your daughter is beautiful! As for anybody who gives you a negative comment,just ignore them. Some people are just like that, so I hope you ignore them. I wish you the absolute best for you and your family!
>I justed watched your show….you both are brave, beautiful, loved and cared for by your family, friends and many people around the world. It is sad that people can say such hurtful things…but just remember..they are living a sad life. Do your thing..be happy..and just love on your wonderful daughter. I wish you three nothing but happiness.
>Hi Cristianne and Jeremy,
Alexandra here….I just saw your show and I think that you both have a lot of love for each other and Kyrsten of course. It broke my heart to hear of some of the terrible things that people are saying about you. You have something very beautiful together. It’s what is on the inside of a person that counts. Not the outside that people can harshly judge you by, these days. I grew up with learning disabilities and I have Bipolar Disorder, and I know what it is like being judged. You both make very, very loving caring parents to Kyrsten, and I do hope that you have more children one day. Take Care!
>I want to thank you for doing your show. I just finished watching it. Just remember there are some small minded people out there in the world. You are a wonderful lady and mother. Bless you for telling the world about you and your family.I wish you all the happiness in the world. Good luck with your marriage.
>I don’t get it. Any of it. Kids having kids, out of wedlock is always a bad idea – CHOOSING to become pregnant and carry to term, knowing what debilitating congenital conditions you could pass on is deplorable behavior. Selfish comes to mind. Now that you’ve had this child (and locked in your man) Cristianne the least you could do is pull your weight by not being eternally whining and annoying. You got that way by being babied because of your conditon, a failure that many parents of special needs children make. Well, you have a baby now. With the same condition you have. So even if the show is about you, stop acting like a spoiled brat. You couldn’t pass your driving theory test to maybe alleviate some burden from Jeremy (God Bless him)? Come on girl. And is it just me, but how in God’s name has this girl been around for 17 years & can’t reach a doorknob in the house, food in the fridge, or climb into bed on her own? I don’t see one lick of handicapped accesible ANYTHING in that house to allow her independence. I know little people who can barely even walk and are fiercely independent. And that shade tree mechanic of a brother who is going to rig up brackets in the Jeep so she can drive and ….what, kill herself or someone else? Have they not heard of the handicapped accesible industry there?!! Cant they buy her a properly equipped car w/ the TV money (so we could have even more drama). This whole deal makes no sense at all – I just don’t get it. Codependcy personafied.
>hi! i just watched the show and i wanted to commend you on being a great mom. the person that said that all little people should be killed should be shot himself. i think you will be a great mom. im sure you will have some hard times with everything but you seem like a very strong person. i am a navy wife and i have two children. even i have hard times and i am a so called normal height. so im sure you will have your fair share. dont let anyone tell you that you should never have children. if you want them, there should be nothing stopping you. i had my oldest when i was 19 too. i hope your baby has a happy and healthy life. i wish you and your fiance the best of luck. believe in yourself and you can do anything. hey, think about it this way, you were a strong enough woman to get pregnant and keep the pregnancy going great and have a beautiful little girl. keep up the great work. remember, you are a strong woman and an awsome mom! take care! lesley
>Cristianne, I just wanted to tell you that It hurts to read the things that people say. You appeare to be a great mom and are trying to get the things that you need to take care of your baby. People are just mean these days and dont understand that little people as yourself need to have a normal life to, have kids get married , it is all part of life and with out life we have nothing. I dont have and disabilities myself but my brother lives with spina bifida and I see how it affects him. It is hard and I am very happy to see that you are going on with your life. Just remenber God gives special kids to special people so he abviously thought that you are special so dont listen of pay and attention to what the bad people have to say. Good luck with your baby and your marrage and if you can get through the petty things then you can get through anything
Sincerly, Tyna
>Jeremy,
I would like to say your an amazing person and father! You are truly blessed. I know your mother would be proud of you! You do such a great job with your beautiful daughter, keep up the hard work, not every man can do it. I wish the best to you and your family. Dont give up, the lord is with you!
Cristianne,
I would like to say you have a beautiful daughter, she will be kept in my prayers. Dont pay attention to all the negitive feedback from people, they are ignorant and dont know any better. Continue to love your daughter to the maximum and take good care of Jeremy. He is a great guy the lord gave you so you need to treat him good. I would like to say you can kind of be bossy and needy just because you know Jeremy will do it. Just take care of him and your new precious daughter! God Bless.
>Hey just seen your show.I think your very brave for having a baby with your limitations.Also I think its a show of such loyalty and love on Jeremy’s part to take on such a task like this. He is in my eyes the most wonderful man alive.You should thank God everyday for this man in your life.There will never be another one.
>Hello Christianne ! First of all LOVE YOUR SMILE and your facial features.Cute voice to get your way !! LOL,Soo snuggly looking. God bless you and your boyfriend it was meant to be.I saw your show on discovery health,you brought smiles to me for days and made me cry also.But please one thing my little one,dont have your boyfriend pull u by 1 arm when your in the bowling alley or any where else,that killed me u need to be treated like platnum.And for all the people that leave rude comments about you F — them.Cant belive how u made my heart jump.Take care snuggly,lil snuggler,and boyfriend and ur mom. Jimbo
>I think that is great hat you can stand it all. Being stared at and stuff… There is nothing wrong with you or you baby, and I’m sorry about the cleft pallet, that is just the way God wnated you to be. Don’t listen to people who think there is something wrong with you. I may be only 12 but I think that you are a great person. You live your life, found love, and had a beautiful baby with your husband. People who make fun of you just don’t understand that you have feelings too. Have a good life. And tell your husband to react to these comments a bit more!
>Hi Cristianne,
Your show came on last night here in Jacksonville, NC. Girl you have got what it takes to be a great mom. I wouldn’t let anyone in this world put you down at any cost just because of your size. I just want to wish you and Jeremy the best along with your daughter. She is so beautiful. You have made so many accomplishment in your life. Keep on going girl! Take care of that little one! God Bless you and your family!
>I saw the show the other day, and all I can say is geez. Christianne kept sayin how she “lives normal” and everything but she’s so dependent, especially on Jeremy. She is completely whiney too, I almost couldn’t stand watching and listening to her. “Mooooove, I can’t seeeeeeeee” It was unbelievably annoying. “Drag me” do this, do that, whine whine whine. I won’t watch anything else involving her. You could see the frustration on Jeremy’s face at having to take care of two babies.
>My sister and I watched the show last night in California and we LOVE you guys. We are soo proud of you and Jeremy and yout love that conquers all. You have an awesome family…..stick with what you’re doing.. It works. ;) Lots of love sent your way…..
Laura and DeeDee
>GOD BLESS YOU n your family ALWAYS i really truly ADMIRE YOU.
>Blah, blah, blah, … all you well-wishers. Do your balloons ever land?? People, please. I don’t want to be cruel, but this girl (notice I didn’t say woman) is living in fantasy land and you’re all encouraging her. It’s true she can’t help her condition but she could try to be responsible for her actions. To me it seems comparable to the situations of drug addicted or alcoholic mothers. They have a disease as well and run the risk of having deformed or retarded children. Do we encourage them to keep having more even though they can’t care for the ones they have?? Where’s all the “God bless you” comments when a crack mama brings another innocent child into the world with disabilities she caused? That turns you off, but would it be better if we called them “chemically challenged”? Would that make it ok? Christianne is just as selfish, immature, and irresponsible as they are, if not more so. At least they can change their disabilities — she cannot. She makes no serious effort at even trying to become more independent (and the whole driving thing is a joke). What this girl needs is not your admirations. She needs a serious reality check!!
And who’s really to blame is her parents. NO child of mine, handicapped or otherwise, is going to lay up in my house with their boyfriend having babies. Her parents need to stop babying her and get a grip on things!
>Hey there cristianne and jeremy!!
i just want to say that you should not let ignorant people get on your nerves!! i can already tell yall are going to be amazing parents and love each other for a very long time!! congrats on your wonderful daughter! MUAH!!
>I m personally impressed with your story !
Please remeber we don’t choose the way we look, it is a God given thing. but we can choose our atitude.
Good luck to each one of your family
God Bless
>I’m watching your show and I think you are all amazing. Jeremy seems like a great guy and he is great with the baby. Your mom is great. . . she’s there for you! You are very pretty. I think it’s great that you have this beautiful baby and you and Jeremy are doing the right thing. Don’t listen to stupid people that say stupid things. I wish you all the best of luck!!!
>I just saw the show for the first time on Discovery Health. I think you’re great! You are very lucky:) Where did you find your man, girl? Never have I ever met a man that has such a big, wonderful heart! You better hold on to him tight. There’s just nop others like him, and if so, it’s far and few! I wish all of you the best of luck, especially to your daughter. She is so adorable! God Bless you all!
>hello i am watching you all as i am typing this i enjoy seeing that you all have aa good outlook on life and wish you the best
i pray that your family lives a long healthy life we all have some kind of problems in our lifes me i have epelipsy and is fixing to no longer have a dl cause of it but life goes on and am glad to see you have found somone you love and care about you two are truely blessed my prayers go out to you and your family have fun in life and GOD bless. your baby is beautiful take good care of her they grow up fast
>i know this has to be very late,
but your baby is gorgeous. your story is amazing. dont listen to all them close-minded people because they dont know the struggles that you’ve been through and the struggles you will go through. i remember a part on your show where you said that you only wanted to be normal. well, you are extordinary. and normal is the absence of individuality. god bless your family, and keep your heads up like your noses be bleedin’. =]
>I fully support folks having children who are mentally, financially, and psycholically ready to have children.
Christianne is NOT. Neither is Jeremy. Shame on her for putting him in that situation. It’s bad enough he spent the majority of his childhood careing for his mom who had cancer… now he’s to spend the rest of his life carrying around Cristianne?!
How long does she think he’ll put up with her whinny, pitiful attitude?
Her baby was choking and she couldnt so much as crawl off her stool to help. She may not be able to walk, but I as a mother would do anything in the world to get to my child to at least suction her nose, etc.
>I just got done watching your show and I just wanted to say that your family is beautifula nd I hope that you do have more kids…your a great mom. Your marriage gives me hope that no matter who u are there is always someone(soul mate) out there for you. So GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!
>Christianne and Jeremy you both are amazing. Life is cruel in so many ways and it is sad that so many people have such negative minds. Congrats on the marriage and what a beautiful sweet daughter you have. “God” created Jeremy for you and what a man! He stands so proud of you, it just makes “Love” a beautiful thing and the way he looks at you with all his heart OMG. You got it going on girlfriend!!!!!! Keep up all the positive things you do, you are “My Hero” for just being you.
jerrse
>Good luck you guys,great family story. Cute kid and Kyrsten and Jeremy are the cutest couple ever. Stay together, life is not easy.
>Christianne and Jeremy
You are an inspiration to all who know you. I think you have a beautiful daughter. I see no reason why you should not have more (Jeremy, 7 is too many even for someone average heighth :)Congrats on your upcoming wedding. You should get a myspace so we who care can keep updated with how you guys are doing. Thanks for the inspiration. Dawn
>Hi chritianne I was watching your show today. There was a part you was reading the mean comments people have left. I don’t want to say I can’t believe that there are people who would say such mean things, but there are people out there and that is so sad.
I think that Jeremy and your relationship is love and that is all that matteres. You both have a beautiful daughter and you have family who love you all.
Someone said you was winning to much.. well they should of just changed the channel if they did not like it, but I bet they watched the how show huh..
My daughter 17 and myself loved the show we was like awwwww all through the end.
There is someone out there for someone and you found him and i may say he is a cutie.. CONGRADULATIONS on your wedding day.
Your a beautiful person love your personality.. I loved when you said drag me when you was bowling.. we lol..
okay well just leave a comment ..
princess :)
>Don’t let anyone put you down for who you are. God makes people the way they are and no one else has the right to say things that are mean, you have a beautiful family.
>Jeremy, I love you. You are a wonderful person, with a big heart for love. You have a great family. Your baby is beautiful.
Cristianne, You are a wonderful person, who wants the best out of life. We all want the best out of life. You and Jeremy are a match made in heaven, you know he love you.
Your show had me with tears in my eyes. I wish you both the best and lot of happinnes in the future. Love is not about looks and size. It’s all inside the heart. And you two have it.
I saw how sad you were as you were reading those nasty messages. Don’t worry. There are alot of insecure people out there, that don’t have a life or someone to love and they have to take it out on someone. Those type of people don’t know what love and life is really about. So there for they judge just to satisfy them self.
You two are what life and love is all about to make it to the end. I hope your wedding is golden. And your baby is going to love you no matter what. Keep in touch, would love to keep tabs with you and Jeremy. mcktktintrepid@yahoo.com

>Hello, I just finished watching your show on Discovery Health Channel and I just wanted to say ya’ll are a truly beautiful family. I can’t imagine the struggles ya’ll have to face on a daily basis. I hope you won’t be discouraged by all the people who post ugly comments, they truly need help. You are an inspiration to all sizes, big and small. I wish the best for you, Jeremy and your beautiful baby girl.
Best Wishes,
Andrea
>Jeremy, you are my new hero. Of all the people facing the unique challenges of your family, you are the only one doing so purely by choice. Your attitude is truly inspiring. I’d like to buy you a beer sometime.
>You’d like to buy him a beer? Buy him A beer? ONE beer? Better buy him a CASE of beer! OMG, all that whining he has to listen to, dragging around Cristianne both at home and in public, staying at home (actually her mother’s home) to care for a sickly baby… the boy probably needs a good drunk!
Hey Cristianne, your show aired quite some time ago, then the same show just recently. When’s the follow-up? Some of us want to know if Mr. Wonderful stuck around after the cameras were off, or if he wised up. At least put a post on here to let us know. Your public wants to know if life is still just peachy…
>Hey I watched you guys and I was just struck at so many things. First, Cristianne, Kyrsten and Jeremy already have to deal with bullshit every day of their lives and to come on TV and let people see how they live takes alot of balls. Secondly, their baby is beautiful and being well cared for…they have an amazing support system and it is no different than someone who maybe has no arms and needs their spouse or parent to assist them. Thirdly,I think that all these idiots talking smack on the internet can’t grasp their tiny minds around the fact that these people love eachother and are willing to work harder than your average person to make their lives happy. I am thankful to see that there are good people out their who truly aren’t afraid to be who they are and not worry about what people say. I think Cristianne is a beautiful girl with a kick-ass attitude and I love her voice…she is great! Jeremy is the bomb…he loves her and is willing to help her because that’s what a partner does. Kyrsten has a right to be here as much as any other child…she will be loved and cherished no matter what size she grows to be. As Cristianne says, you better watch what you say, genetic disorders are a random thing and can happen to anyone…anyways,enough preaching you guys are wicked good people, and good luck in the future! :)
>I am watching your show right now and I hear you reading those nasty, cruel, comments from a truely horrible, ignorant person. I admire you and your courage, and that baby of yours is just BEAUTIFUL. (Your husband isnt bad either. LOL) YOU GO GIRL!!!!!
>I think it’s great what you’re doing. Hope your baby is happy and healthy. If she has you’re personality, she will go far in the world.
>My teenage daughter and I are currently viewing the show as I type, I watched you and your husband read the some of the ignorant emails…this is not one of them. Frankly they need prayer! God has blessed the 3 of you and EVERYTHING happens for a reason…your circumstance happens to be one of the good ones.
Congrats on getting your license! Just pray for the ignorant people too that dwell in this world~God made them too. Some people are just so miserable that they do not know how to appreciate the goodness in life. I will keep you and your beaautiful family in my prayers. I must say to you Cristianne>> You are awesome and VERY couragious…Well done!
>I, too, am watching you on Discovery Health right now. What a blessing you are! You are an inspiration to ALL people, no matter what size, shape, color or creed! Don’t waste any of your vibrant energy on people who obviously have no happiness in their own lives – We love you and your family:)
>Despite some of the bas comments written, just know that there are MANY more people that pulling for the three of you. You have your health…Keep bowling (I ‘m not good at it either) but it’s a good form of exercise, you have a wonderful, caring. loving husband and a beautiful daughter.You are TRULY blessed.
>Cristianne, I just want you to know that I admire you and Jeremy. You both show so much love for each other and even more for your daughter. Your daughter was given to you for a reason. God never makes a mistake, there is always a reason and a purpose for everything and everyone.
As for you rude people. You really have no room to talk. Everyone, and I do mean everyone has a genetic defect that can be passed on to their children. You either know you have a gentic defect and that it can be passed on. Or you don’t know if you have it,and it can be passed on. So grow the heck up yourselves. It is none of your buisness who has children or not. I am going to be rude like you,and say that all people who are prejudice should not have children. So you don’t teach them your bad, negative, and ugly traits. Shame on you for saying anything when your prejudice is the worst disease of them all!
For you rude people to know, I have a disease that can be passed on as well. And I have two children, who are fine thank you very much. But I am constantly having to take them to the doctor to make sure that they are still free from the disease. And if they don’t have it doesn’t mean that they are not carriers themselves. But I hope that they have children of their own. And yes I pray that they never get it or pass it on, but if they do, then oh well. Love is not prejudice, or picky about who it goes to. Love knows no boundaries, Love just is, and free moving. I hope God helps those that are prejudice and helps them to see the light. Hate is just ugly, let it go!
Anyways, congradulations on your little girl. God bless you and your family.
Sincerly
Rebecca White
P.S. Don’t listen to the idiots that post stupid remarks. To be honest, they are just jealous because you found the love of your life and created a beautiful daughter. :o)
>I just saw the special on Cristianne and her family. I applaud them for their positive attitudes and great parenting. God bless!
>Cristianne & Jeremy –
I hope you still read these posts. I’m very proud of both of you.
I’m watching the special on Discovery Channel as I write this. My girlfriend was 3ft 2in (she had OI)and we were friends for over 30 years. Cristianne, when I was watching, you remind me of her, so I wanted to write.
You know, being short was part of who Greer was, and I wouldn’t have changed that for anything. People use to stare at us, but I would always joke about it. Don’t take to heart any of those terrible things people say about short people. I would never let Greer feel bad about them, she was beautiful just as you are.
Greer, had been in a wheel chair from childhood, but that didn’t keep her from doing stuff. We did gym class together while in school, held fund raisers for MD and dance-a-thons. I made her do lots of thing you’d think would scare her… I strapped her to me while on a moped once and we went riding, I even took her sleding once (little hills). Greer like bowling too. She went to college (on her own by the way), went clubbing with friends, got married to the best guy for her (just as Jeremey is for you), she did finally get her license and had special van made for her. Glad you are doing the same.
One thing she never did was have kids. While she said she didn’t want kids, I think a small part of her sorta did. However, she had mom-like experiences with my kids though from getting throwed up on (lol) to my kids getting big enough to pick her up!! Your little Kyrsten is beautiful. Hope if you have more all goes well.
Please feel free to write (debbieh@yahoo.com), I’m a mom and now a grandmom even. While I’m tall for short, I’m short for average – but I know all the stuff Greer went through with being small, so I can totally relate. [Like how hard it is when you can't get somewhere when you want.]
Wishing you all the best, great happiness, health and love.
>Cristianne & Jeremy,
My daugther’s and I just saw you on tv today for the first time and you all have touched our hearts. The three of you are a blessing for this world and may your lives be full of continuous happiness. As for the ignorant people who write dumb remarks you can easily see that their brains are made of cow poop (putting it in a nice term).Don’t ever let anyone bring your spirits and hopes for your’s and your daughter’s future down. May God bless your future together and your very beautiful daughter. You are both blessed to have found eachother and are blessed with a love that can conquer anything.
>I am so tired of hearing shame on her, I am watching your show right now. Who do all these negative people think they are and what will they say for themselves when they are being judged? Everyone has the right to persue happiness, and even though her daughter may be as short as she is all of you negative people will never be half of what they have so…look up all you negative people because that is who will be judging you. As for Cristianne Ray, Jeremy and the family, never waste time on small minds shoot for the stars and love each other well. from cfrog07
>Are you people insane? Did you watch the same show that I did? Christianne is practically helpless! She doesn’t even do for herself the things she COULD do. She has Jeremy draw her butt around when she needs to be trying to get around herself, getting some exercise in. And that whining! OMG, it’s like nails screetching on a chalk board! I thought I was going to have to hit mute on the TV! And all those whims of hers — she wants to drive, she wants to have 3 more babies that she won’t be able to take care of, …..does she want to be an astronaut too? Well, buy her a space ship!
Seriously, it’s ok to wish her well, but some of you people are as ridiculous and irresponsible as she is, encouraging her to do everything except what she needs to do most, which is GROW UP! Being 2’7″ doesn’t entitle anyone with good sense to remain infantile or just plain lazy, and sit around all day thinking up stupid new things to try for the novelty of it.
Good God, wake up people! Everything about this girl is just WRONG….
>i felt sad at the begining but at the end i was smiling on my own in front of the tv. i have just seen you guys on the discovery channel. you are very lucky having each otehr.
i was just wondering if there is an account i can donate some money. not because i am sorry for you, but because i admire you both and i know your life is very difficult and especially with a child and we all know that money are very important at these situations.
I hope you learn to drive and get your car ASAP.
sorry about my english writting, its not my native language
>kyrsten ,i am all my heart with you…..your story touch my soul.you are incredible person.god bless you. kristina
>Christianne, I see from the advertisments that the show about you will be airing again next week. Are you going to be an update at any time? I first saw your show about a year ago, and I’d like to know how things are going. I’m sure a lot of people would. Did you ever learn to drive? How is your baby doing? Did you have any more? How is Jeremy and your mom? Do you still live with her? You should do an update to let your fans know what’s happening. Looking forward to seeing the show again!
>Cristianne Ray,
I can’t believe all of the nasty comments people have left you.People need to give us short woman a break.Yes I to am short.I am only 4ft7.I am 31yrs old.I find it very hard to get a boyfriend.But I am trying not to let it bother me.Congrats on your baby girl.She is georgous.
>hey my name is joe h. I am from ohio. I have two kids of my own. I think you two are absolutly wonderful! I think you guys are really such an inspiration for the whole world. I did notice in your show that you kept saying you wanted to be normal. what I think is funny about that statement is I have never met a normal person..lol..i think as far as a person and a couple for that matter you are as normal as it gets. as long as you have love and happiness that’s all the normal you need to be. however you could work on your bowling. lol… well I wish you guys the best of luck in life. you will be wonderful parents. take care of that little girl of yours and I look forward to watching you guys.
>watching your show and you are a beautiful woman and your bf is a great man and i hope all the happiness in the world for all of you and to those with close minds back off if they are happy together that is what mattters

>Christianne and Jeremy and your beautiful baby,
All of you are pretty amazing. I live in Cleveland OH, and watched your story tonight on TV. I want to wish you and your family the best of luck. You can really see it Jeremy eyes, how much he love you and your daughter. I wish Love, Joy and Happiness.
God Bless you and your family.
Pam frm Cleveland OH
>hi christianne, i just finished watching your show and i am amazed by the strength you had to have a child, you are a beautiful girl and DON’T let anyone bring you down because your not tall, it doesn’t make you a bad person. and even if your daughter has the same condition as you, it doesn’t mean a thing. she will definitely grow up to be just as beautiful as you.
you’re fiance is such a great person to have the strength to help you, raise a child and deal with the loss of his mother, you two are perfect for each other.
you have proven that anyone can do anything if you just try. i wish you the best of luck with your daughter and the marriage to your fiance. and if people say anything to you, tell them “i’m not short, i’m fun-sized” :) you have definitely changed the world!
>Hi my name is tonya i have watched your show obviously and i cant imagine why the hell these people are writing nasty comments i think that they must just be mad that their lives dont seem as normal as yours even though you have a disability it is your moms choice to help you my mom helped me plenty i just want to say that i think you gave birth to such a cute baby and i am really glad that you found someone who truely loves you i think you and your family are precious and seem to be wonderful people and by the way i think you are very very pretty so i can understand what jeremy must have seen in you.good luck and if you want someone to talk to i would absolutely love to have updates on you and your family please return a email at apreciousfew@yahoo.com
>I applaud Cristianne and her family she’s an amazing woman! I’m short too only 4′ 7″ and I had a perfectly fine baby who is now 13. Anyone who left an ignorant and rude comment about Cristianne and her boyfriend are brain dead she’s only doing what a woman should do is have a family! She’s doing just fine with her baby yes there are challenges with having a baby but she has over come them. Don’t let anyone or anything stand in your way YOU GO GIRL!!
>Dearest Cristianne, Jeremy and Kyrsten…
For starters, please forgive me if I have spelled any of the names wrong!!!
Having said that…
Thank you for sharing your story and letting me into your life. The 3 of you have become such an inspiration to me. I have shunned love for so long out of a pointless fear of losing it. I have shunned the idea having children because I was afraid (s)he may take on some of the “unfavorable” genetics of my family. What I have learned from you is that, even though I consider myself an “open” “tolerable” “understanding” person, my outlook was nothing short of ignorant. I will not waste my time punishing myself for this ignorance, however, I will now begin to see things in the way they should be seen. There are no “unfavorable” genetics. A child is your child. Your lover is your lover. Your family is your family. Love is the common thread. And the amazing thing about love, is that it unconditional. I did not realize the truth behind that until I got to watch your story. I don’t know if you will ever read this comment. I don’t know if you will ever know what you have given. Either way, I know what you have given me. I wll be eternally grateful that you have opened my eyes! I will be eternally grateful that you have allowed me to become an honestly good person. Everything I thought I was is nothing to who I am now. I only hope now to actually partake in the wonder of being pregnant and having a child of my own. I hope to be able to see how the 3 (and maybe one day more) of you are doing as time passes! Feel free to contact me at poetic_faith@yahoo.com.
>Christianne and Jeremy and your beautiful baby,
Hi I had just seen your story for the first time to night just have to say that when I heard you read out some of the comments the human side of me was angery then the christine side of me was sad for those people because they most not have GOD in their life so I will say a special prayer for them tonight.. For as your family I think that baby is so blessed to have you to in her life I hope that things are going good for you in 2008 if you are ever have time to just chat please IM me @ Novabomb27@yahoo.com wish you well
Misty
>I am also watching your show as I am typing. and I was watching you get upset at those assine comments. They can piss off. You have a beautiful baby girl. Good luck with everything.
>I think you are speacial you and jeremy and the baby are.Dont let those other with small brains get to you. Hope your wedding day turns out bright and beutiful gl
congrats Jscott
>I’m watching your show right now. The part where you were reading peoples comments upset me. I cant believe how closed minded people are! As a young mother myself, I understand how hard it is to raise a child. I am amazed by you, not because of your size but because of your ability to brush it off. I think you are an awesome mom and your little girl is beautiful. I have high hopes for the three of you.
>I wish all the love and happiness to you and Jeremy and kyrsten .You are a beautiful and strong person who has found a special person to spend your life with and you have a beautiful baby . Your are a lucky person to find love in your life . Stay strong good luck in your life…..You rock !!!! Never give up…..You can do anything….Love, Cassandra ~
>Youre beautiful for a little person.
You looked stunning in your dress.
I hope all goes well :)
>In regaurd to all the jerks that comment on here they need to realize that little people have children all the time!! Big people have little children all the time! I hope one of you jerks have a little child and realize how amazing they are and that they are people to!! You people are the selfish ones because you wont open your eyes and mind to different things!! Cristianne is a great person and a great mother!! She may not be able to everything that tall mothers can do but she does everything she can! If Jeremy want to marry her then let him!! Its love nothing matters to people that are in love. No body really talks about different races dating and getting married so SHUT YOUR MOUTHS and find something else to talk about!!

>your daughter is the most beautiful baby ive ever seeeeeen
good luckk<3
>Like others have said i was watching the show and heard the rudeness of some people and decided to put what i think on here…i think that u have a wonderful future and that hopefully u and all ur family grows up happy,healthy and joyful.i have alil one of my own lil boy and a fiance and i would not trade my family or have any regret -good luck in all u do !!!!
>Hello.. I am watching your show as I type this, and it is just so inspiring to see that you and your family are all pulling together! You have so much love and devotion to eachother and your beautiful baby! Forget all those comments that you read and hear, you give a whole new meaning to unconditional love! Watching this brings tears to my eyes as I am a mother of 3 children and I couldn’t even imagine what I would do if I was put in your situation. You two are so strong willed, determined, persistant, loving, caring and devoted parents! I also want to comment on your mom, dad, brother and of course Jeremy for helping you through all of this. It has to be one of the most challenging and rewarding thing all at the same time!
Size doesn’t measure how a person is on the inside, and that is what matters the most! I can’t beleive how closed minded some people can be! They are just jealous as they don’t have what you have! A beautiful little girl, a loving family and a strong mind!
My prayers go out to you and yours! Take care of that beautiful baby and eachother!
Blessings! Sheila and family
>I have to say you’re whiny voice is unbearable. Good God, grow up and stop acting like a 6 year-old. The part on the show where you’re bowling and saying “Jeremy drag me” or “I hate bowling, I suck” was ridiculous. Stop the whining. F**ing irritating. Give ur husband a break and stop being so lazy.
>Dear Cristianne Ray,
I am a insecure 17 year old girl and when i saw you on tv, you took my breath away. You are so gorgeous, and you seem to love yourself, something i struggle with. I thought to myself, that if you can see your own beaty, then why cant I? Espically since you had a baby, I mean omgosh, do you ever look bad? When I saw you read those nasty comments people wrote to you, I sarted to cry. You, Jeremy, and Kristen are amazing people, and dont let anyone tell you otherwise. I hope you read this, because you helped me so much in just the 60 min that you appeared on the tv screen. I hope that you and your family continue to do well and that Kristen’s opperation goes smoothly. Thank you for your time, and thank you for helping me see my own beauty.
The 17 year old girl :)
>Hello My name is amanda and I like watching your showes. I think that you are amazing women. I was born with short arms and it was hard for me to grow up. IK had to lurn to do things different then other people . It is so nice to see that you have amazing soon to be husbend. He reminds me like my soon to be husbend. He is the best thing that has happend to me he has to help to do alot of things that I cant reach or do. I hope all goes go good for you on driveing it took me a long time to drive just cause og my arms they are only 6 inches. But you will get it i know you will you have the same out look on life like I do and what I mean by that is that nothing will stop you from doing anything. “OH” when I was watching I saw that your man does not like people to stare at you eaither does mine , I just got use to it so it does not bother me has much has does him, Because when you have to deal with all of your life and every were you go. I hope your life is full with joy and just be happy in lfe.
Thank You
Amanda
>I would love for you to write me back this is amanda again Amanda_pwll@yahoo.com I would love to talk to you about something and just have a friend I dont have alot cause i am judge all the time
Thank You Again
Amanda
>You and your daughter are very very pretty. You are angles sent from heaven! Please send me updated photos of your sweet little baby girl at
corking@live.com
God Bless You!
>jeremy is SO FUCKING HOT i would love to suck that dick
>Your family is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your stories with everyone! Good luck with everything
>Your family is beautiful. Bless the differences because we all live with some handicap, Some are just more visible than others. When you have a visible handicap people either stare or completely ignore you… you are invisible. I can no longer walk because of multiple back injuries. I am now invisible. Love your bowling technique. You have given me the confidence to try to bowl again. I’ll figure out a technique that will work for me.
>you two are sooo cute and the baby is absolutely ADORABLE!! I love how strong you guys are and can brush off everyone elses comments on how “it shouldn’t” be….your very strong, and have a beautiful perspective on life. I was wondering if you had a myspace/face book or web page of your family to keep updated on your family news. stay strong and happy…lots of love.
>Hey Christianne and Jeremy. First off, you have a gorgeous baby girl. The love between you two (or three, I should say) is amazing, and I truly admire you both for not letting the stupid people that leave unnecessarily mean comments on here stand in the way of anything. It’s truly been great looking at all the positive comments posted on here, and I agree. You both are truly wonderful people, and I know Kyrsten will grow up to be a beautiful person, both inside and out, rather like you Christianne. Thanks for shedding some positive light in the world. I wish the best for you all.

>I don’t think that anyone should have told Cristianne to have an abortion because something may have been wrong with her child, but I do think that it was completely selfish of her and Jeremy to bring a baby into this world without being ready. First off Jeremy dropped out of high school and they live with Cristianne’s parents. Secondly, with Cristianne being so small she is not able to do anything on her own, especially care for a baby, or a toddler when it gets to that point. Every time she wants to see the baby someone has to bring the baby to her and situate the two of them into a position that works, she couldn’t even change the diaper without whining about how it was uncomfortable. As for the cleft the poor baby has, she sometimes chokes on milk that fills her mouth, Cristianne can’t even get off the couch to help, Jeremy or the mom have to take care of it. How will she ever be home alone with the baby? What if something happened and she needed to get the baby out of the house, she can’t even walk herself. These are all things they should have taken into consideration before they decided they were ready for a baby. They claim it wasn’t planned, but Cristianne said on an interview with ABC that the “sex is great” two kids without the commen sense to use protection are not ready to be parents.
>I watched your story last night and when I heard some of the things people were saying I wanted to voice my opinion. Cristianne, you are such a beautiful young lady both on the inside and out. Jeremy, you are more of a man then most males 10+ years older then you. I don’t know many males that would do what you do and not complain and use the poor poor me card. Heck, there aren’t many dads of “normal” children that stick around and care for their child half of how you take care of yours. Krysten is a very lucky child to have such great parents!! None of your lives will be easy, but realistically whose life is. You both love eachother and have the support of family (Jeremy I am sure your mom is looking down on you and just beaming with pride) and that is more then some “normal” couples. The comments about you shouldn’t have gotten pregnant and you shouldn’t have had the baby – people just don’t think. What is wrong with bringing a child into this world to a loving family? And the point about bringing a baby that isn’t “normal” into the world …. so what we should terminate every pregnancy in which the child might not be normal, then that would be every pregnancy. I would rather know that a child is born to a loving couple who will have their struggles then to an acoholic dad and a druggie of a mom. This world has lost sight on what is important in this world. The world needs more people with hears like yours and I am glad that you have brought one more into this world. Best of luck!!
>CHRISTIANNE AND JEREMY….IF YOU DON’T READ ANY OTHER POST…..PLEASE READ THIS ONE!…I AM THE GRANDMOTHER OF A GRANDSON, BORN WITH SPINABIFIDA, THAT’S PARALIZED FROM THE WAIST DOWN. HE IS ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST JOY THAT HAS EVER COME INTO MY LIFE…I CAN’T IMAGINE LIFE BEFORE OR AFTER HIM. THERE ARE SELFISH, VAIN, SICK PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD THAT CAN’T THINK ABOUT ANYONE OTHER THAN THEMSELVES…”THEY ARE THE HANDICAPPED PEOPLE” OF THIS WORLD. I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM, NEVER KNOWING WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT!!!! MY HEART AND HAND GOES OUT TO YOU TWO…YOU’RE HEROES IN MY EYES. THANK GOD FOR PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH LIKE YOU GUYS. PLEASE IGNORE THE SLIME THAT SOME IDIOTS WRITE….WHAT DO THEY MEAN TO US? N-O-T-H-I-N-G THAT’S WHAT!
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

>Christianne and Jeremy…
I watched the show on TLC about the 2 of you and I couldnt wait to get on the internet and express to you what wonderful people you are. I hope that the joy the 2 of you have with your daughter is one many people will never forget. You touched my life so much, within one hour, that I will keep watching as you 2 continue with your love and watch Kyrsten grow.
Much love to all of you and keep your spirits high.
>I watched a show about you and your family last night and just think its great what is going on with you, and to say that the baby is beautiful and for the people that have something bad to say about you and you family are just small hearted and minded. it really doesn’t matter about your size it’s not the outside that counts it’s the inside, and i think your doind a wonderful job and there are alot of people out there that could learn alot fron you.
I am 5’6″ but you are still an insperation to me and there are to many people out there that give up but your not one of them.
good luck in everything you do

>Wow. I have to say I think any unwed teens are irresponsible for getting pregnant, but in this case…wow. Neither one has a job. Can Cristiane work? Jeremy has to stay home to care for the child, so who is supporting the family? Probably the grandparents…and they talk of having MORE kids? How are they going to care for them and support them? Especially since the first one is going to have special needs, and perhaps the next babies will too.
How on earth could they get pregnant without looking into the possibility that this condition was genetic? What were the grandparents thinking? they say what their daughter has gone through. Weren’t they a bit concerned about pregnancy when the boyfriend moved in with them?
Love doesn’t conquer all kids. Get real and grow up. Children need more than just love to grow up safe and healthy. they need parents who have the ability to provide for them!!
>Hi Cristianne,
I have seen you for the first time on TLC last night and I would like to congratulate you and your fiance for your courage and your beautiful baby. Your life experience is very encouraging and inspiring. I wish you all the best for the future and I am sure you gonna be OK, you are beautiful you are strong and have a lovingly family and friends around you.
Best Regards,
Sabine ARAME, Montreal, Canada
>OMG! What was Cristianne’s mother thinking when she let a high school drop-out move in and start sleeping with her daughter? She went into the bedroom to tell them to get up as if everything was perfectly normal. I was disgusted with the whole show from that point on. Was she so desparate to let her daughter have a boyfriend that she threw morals out the window?
So this girl with a genetic condition is never taught responsibility or consequence. She gets pregnant, has a baby with the same condition, can’t care for it, then moves on to wanting to drive, then wants a long wedding dress, talks about having more children… It’s like indulging a spoiled child to the point of insanity.
Cristianne, you are not a “little person” in the sense you are talking about. You are a disgrace to little people. They pride themselves on being independent. You seize every opportunity to become even more helpless!
This entire situation is ridiculous!!! All I can say is OH MY GOD…
>to all those who made dumb comments, you know who you are. everyone has a right to a life no matter how small, tall, handicap,single, gay and how ever else people choose. congradulations and enjoy the blessings in front of you and the hell with all the negative comments. there are people in this world who are not happy with others good fortune. they are happiest when they are judging others, i say to those people, i feel sorry for you have nothing better to do. get a life! babies no matter how they are brought into this world are and always will be a blessing. you two have love that is so rare and obvious to all, congradulations on your up coming marriage give your daughter a great big hug and kiss each and every day.
>I just watched the show on TLC about you. I am so happy that you decided to have the baby she is beautiful just like her mom. I am glad that you have a fiance devoted to taking care of you and Kyrsten. That is a real man. Don’t let all the negative comments get you down, you did the right thing congrats on your baby and your new life. Have fun they don’t stay little very long. Laura McDonald Okc, ok
>I watched “My Shocking Story” last night, and honestly, I feel conflicted. On one hand, I think it’s wonderful that you are able to experience the joys of motherhood, however, I feel that you yourself are a child and have been kept so by your parents.
It is obvious by your lack of
independence that you have been coddled and enabled by your family. I mean, it would be so easy to do. But I feel that they have done you a massive diservice. For one thing, you whine like a spoiled child. I found it so difficult to well up sympathy for you as you whined obnoxiously in nearly every scene…to your folks and to Jeremy. It’s like he has two children to care for.
I strongly urge you to get counseling. You need to work through this unhealthy dependency and emotional immaturity. I also recommend that before you get your license, you take steps toward independence within your household first. I know, I know….who am I to cast judgement on someone I’ve only seen on television. But I hope you take this advice, and know that it is given with the most sincere hopes that you and your family live a long and happy life together. Good luck.
>I saw your show on tlc, and it was wonderful your are a true blessing, your are a very pretty girl and your boyfriend is a sweetheart…. TAKE CARE AND HAVE MORE BABIES…AND DONT LISTEN TO HATERS….LOVE FROM NYC….CARLA

>Grow up and stop whining so much. Geez you are a mom now, act like it.
>Unless Jeremy is a complete MORON, he’ll get rid of you when he grows up. You need to get a voice coach! That whine of yours could shatter glass.
>The whining and complaining nearly made me turn the TV off! Wow- your boyfriend must have selective hearing to be able to cope with that. Get over it and grow up– you have a child now! That is more important than getting a car to drive. Why can’t Jeremy drive anyway?? He seems quite capable!
The whole “Jeremy- drag me- I hate bowling” Wow, I felt like I was watching a pre-teen rather than a 19 year old with a child.
Seriously– grow up girl!!
>just watching the show in the UK on discovery,
Just thought i’d add my comment after hearing how negative some people are towards people they see as different.
However everyone is different and unique and many people have differences that can make life a little more difficult.
I think you both will have difficult time ahead, but it’s clear to see that you are happy together and will manage to get through it together. You have a beautiful baby, and i wish you all, all the luck in the world and hope everything goes well with you and baby :)

Thank you!

>Hi Cristiane,
Just saw an emission on you it was very emotional and optimistic really… I found it great how you manage your life and your couple and your little Kirsten ,a blessing… I pray that she is a healthy baby and good luck in life coz you are a beautiful person and you deserve the best in life. So enjoy life and don’t listen to others and the society coz they dont know what a wonderful person you are. Best of luck in the future and in the marriage too…. from Vani,
>Hi Christianee
I want to say that my boyfriend and I are two normal sized people and we both have work, but even though life is “easier” for us we still dont have what you and your boyfriend have and that is a family. You dont need anybody’s aproval only what makes you happy … and you are… so screw the rest of the people and enjoy life.

>Ha! I love all the comments on how you shouldn’t have had a child because of the chances of passing on a genetic disability. Hell, any woman has a chance of having a child with downs syndrome. I guess that means we should start keeping tabs on everyone’s reproductive system. What the heck? I thought Hitler lost. When did we decide to extinguish “inferiors”. Were the naysayers jacking off while typing on blogs about “Little People, Big World” too? Because they had a mix of “normal” and dwarf children. I guess they should have aborted the little guy because he has bow legs and may have to use crutches the rest of his life. God, I love humanity.
Good luck you two. You’ll need it.
>You brought one life into the world not knowing it would have your condition. That’s fine. But to deliberately inflict this on future children is criminal and selfish. They, and you, are not ordinary dwarfs. You are helpless, except to feed your face. You can’t even take care of the one you have. You need to grow up yourself. Buy some barbie dolls, for crying out loud! Who’s going to care for all these disabled children?? Jeremy who does not even have a job?? Your mom who evidently cannot deny you?? You could be a true inspiration and example for others with handicaps. Instead, you seem to be an inspiration for those who want to do what they want to do regardless of who it hurts. You should be ashamed!
>Hi Cristianne and Jeremy! I have watched the “Worlds Smallest Mom” twice now and have to say that I really admire you both. You two make a great couple and your baby is so so beautiful – I wish I could hug her myself!! Cristianne -have you ever thought about modeling? You are such a pretty girl and would make a really cool model. Best of luck to all of you. And don’t worry about any of the stupid negative comments – those idiots are just plain ignorant! Enjoy your family and Take care. Lisa from USA.
>I think you two are amazing! Im watching the show now and I’m so happy for you two.God bless you guys.
>So i dont get why everyone is leaving rude ass comments. Talking about her whining and being unfit and all that other shit.
Does it matter??? Do YOU personally have to listen to her whining..??? So why worry about it. Its not like its YOUR problem. YOU dont wanna hear it then change the channel. Simple as that.
& that baby is already here. So quit talking about what she shouldve done and just wish her the best. Cause its her and her family that have to care for that baby.
Yall are expecting her to be all independent but anyone with kids would know that EVERYONE whos a parent gets whiny and needs ALOT of help…
Im 15 and im 4 months pregnant.
Im NOT married.
But i know i can do it.
>First of all let me start by saying F**k those MutherF**kers talking crap to you if they were so brave they would post their names and email addresses so you can post a comment back to them. They are just people with no happiness or heart in them! Thats why you all post as anonymous LOL to all those Idiots out there!
You are a beautiful girl with a wonderful family too! Everyone needs to understand that you are as normal as all of us out here and you live with your family because you need that extra help that noone will understand about! But who cares what people think You are an amazing person giving hope to many people out there having doubts in life. Having a child is a gift that God gave you so live it up to the fullest and love the people who love you to the end and forget & forgive those nasty commentators who were born without a smart brain or heart A.K.A Anonymous people LOL!!!
>Hi Cristianne, I was just watching your story on tlc. I have to say this first and foremost. Congratulation on your birth of your daughter, and being the woman your mother raise you to be. I would also say to your mother and father, you two are very special people, not just for your parenting, but for giving cristianne, the ability to become the woman she is. The reason why I say this because so many parent out here are raising their kids to believe that life is a bowl of cherries, and not teaching them the responsiblity of being independent and self-supporting at a early age. That why, I believe we have so many disfuctionally adults in this world. I applaud you for giving her the knowledge she have to think independly and to go after her future. Jeremy, I would like to say to you, is that I know you mother is looking down from heaven with the biggest smile, to see that the son she raised as a boy has grown up to be a true man. I applaud you loudly, because you have not only because a dad, but you are what I call a true testament of a man that any mother or father who love to call a son. It really made me mad when I heard you read some of the blog some of these idiot wrote, that make my point in regard to some people parenting skills. I am wishing you and Jeremy wonderful marriage and blessed and glorious marriage. I have to say this, you have really shown some of the idiot/nuckleheads of this world, that is doesn’t matter what size the individual are, ie short, tall, skinny fat, love is from the heart, mind and soul, and not just some physical aspect of life. I know she will be close to a year old about now, and I know the love you have for her will shine in her as a child well into her adult years. I don’t want to say good luck, because luck doesn’t have anything to do with your life, it is call love, the love of family. So I will say congratulation on the future and the blessings that are forth coming.

>Modeling?? Someone actually suggested you try modeling for a career?? Come on now, people! Encouragement is one thing, but let’s be real. Is Jeremy going to drag her down the cat walk? OK, I might pay to see that, just for the comic effect. I agree with most of the negative comments on here. I believe she is irresponsible, immature, and more handicapped than she needs to be. The whining voice drives me crazy, but maybe she can’t help that. She could, however, do more to become independent, or at least a little less burdon on those who have to care for her.
I don’t have a google account (yet) but those of you (Christianne too) who care to discuss it can email me. trujillobueno at yahoo.
>I just want to say this. Coming from a dwarf, who is a little older then you Cristianne, I admire you for all that you have done, and that you had a baby. I just think that the way you are handling everything is not very smart. I am 4’2″ and I am fairly independant. I think if you really want to drive or even have more children you need to sort of realize that you need to handle this on your own, and not rely on everyone else.
Jeremy, bro you are a good guy, and I admire that you stay with her. I think the best thing you need to do for her is maybe help her start exercising, and I don’t mean sex! I mean walking a little bit, and stuff. I saw that she was not even able to change the babies diaper and stuff, how is she going to be able to drive if she can do a simple task like that. You need to help her grow up mentally, and prepare for the world. Don’t be another number Cristi, prove these people wrong. Have a great day. If you do read this hey email me anytime Liltim247@yahoo.com

>I just watched the show about you on TLC. You guys are amazing! Jeremy is so cute with Kyrsten. It is so nice to see a young man who is so responsible and loving with his family. I was so sad to hear he lost his mom. Like Jeremy I hope Kyrsten has some of his mom’s wonderful personality. She is such a good baby! Cristianne you are a wonderful young lady. I send you both best wishes for a happy and healthy life together. Congratulations on passing your driving test and enjoy your newfound freedom! With much love and respect from Laurie in San Diego.
>People please. Were YOU mature at 19 years old? I think not. Stop judging others before looking at yourselves!!!
>Hi Cristianne & Jeremy
I seen your show on TV here in Ireland last night, I would like to say Jeremy your a good man for looking after your mum, and as far as it goes with you and Cristianne, you have a beautiful woman i can see how you fell in luv with her, dont mind what people say, i feel you and Cristianne have a special luv if there was more people in the world like you and your family, the world would be a better place.I wish you and your family all the best, Wolf-Spirit
>Hi, I just watched the show here in Denmark, and i most say this is an unsually situation. You have doing so well, and i wish happiness and luck for all of you.
If we choose to follow the theory of Darwin: Survival of the fittest, nature choose to give you and your daughter life, and who is who to argue with nature? If you promise to love your child and give her all the support she needs in her life, she will be strong of mind as you and have a god life – that is all that matters. There are ordinary people out there that should never have had children.
Good luck in the future.
>HI Cristianne and Jeremy..
Finally your show came to little Denmark:)
I laugh so many times, most becouse you just are who you are, your personality is so strong that i cut feel it from the tv, you are so beautiful:)
good luck with it alle;)
Lykke er vejen frem..
Love Sarah
>stop your damn whining!!!!
>I cannot stand your whining! Oh my jesus. SHUT UP. stop talking like your 2. Act your age, not your height.
>I saw the show on discovery channel
They say good things come in small packages, if that is true you are dynamite. at 4’9″ I myself believe that statement. As a future psychologist I also want you to know there is no such thing as normal. There is only average and who wants to be average. You are already beyond that.
>Tall? Small? What does it matter when you share the greatest love of all. I searched a lifetime to find a man that would love me as unconditionally as the love both Jeremy and Cristianne obviously share. How wonderful to find each other when you are both so young. Endless joy and happiness to you and your family as you relish in the most privileged gift of all, your beautiful baby girl.
>I only wish i had the same amount of courage and strength you have, Your baby girl is so beautiful i wish you both the world of luck, AND TO ALL THOSE PPL WHO HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY DONT SAY NOTHING AT ALL THEY ARE BOTH MORE WOMANLY & MANLY THAN YOU IDIOTS ARE!
Good luck on ur wedding day guys! from trinity :)
>I just watched your show.. and i think you are truly amazing. Dont let people get you down..I think you and your daughter are just beautiful and i think you are doing a wonderful job with her. Good luck to you and your husband and all the best for the future. I am sure you will raise a beautiful Daughter. Little person or not, as long as your happy with yourself and your life thats all that matters.
lots of love
Sarah.

>My name is Chloe and at the moment I am watching a show on you in Australia, Cristianne Ray, and your beautiful family and I wanted to tell you I really wish you all the happiness in the world. You are reading aloud horrible comments and I am glad to see you let it roll of your back like water off a ducks back.
>Jeremy, Cristianne & your darling Daughter.
Keep doing what your doing, enjoy life and your own individuality.
My Child (12) was appalled at the comments he heard in the program and then read. He understands prejudice and can't abide by it all. He believes everyone is entitled to an opinion, but if that opinion is nasty why say it? I say if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all. All the best with the adaptions to your car and with the wedding. Remember, little steps lead to big surprises.
Jeremy: Ever thought of Nurses Aid training or Disability Support Work? I believe you'd rock at it!
To your parents & immediate family.
You've done a great job and are all a great support network. Its clearly evident that communication has been a key factor for you all.
Best wishes from Down Under. Know that you've won some hearts here.
>Hi Chriatianne
i’m 18 years old and live in australia and am watching your show as i’m writing this. i think that you are very brave and are very lucky to have people around you to support you. i’ve been reading some of the other comments that people have left and can’t believe how nasty that they are. people can be so superficial and not realise just how much their negative comments can effect others.
from watching your show i see you as a beautiful strong person who has been blessed with a wonderful man who loves you and a beautiful daughter who has inhertited your individuality and hopefully your strength.
i wish you all the best for the future and hope that you and your family live long healthy lives.
>Hi My name is Emily and i’m from Australia and watched your show last night.
I’d just like to say that you are the most beautiful person inside and outside that i have ever seen in my life and probably ever will. I like how you don’t see yourself as different cos your not. I also liked how you didnt quite enjoy your time with the other “small” people. I wish you and jeremy and your baby girl Kyrsten all the happiness, good health and luck in the world and also my best wishes to any more beautiful children you bring into this world. Good luck. And although it’s a total cliche…. GOD BLESS YOU :):):)
>”Christianne Ray” thats a nice name I like it! :) Anyways I was just flipping through the channels on tv and when I saw you on tv I was like “Awe!She’s so cute..she’s really pretty!” Thats what I wanted to say to you and good luck on whatever you’re doing!
*Heidi*
>I want to tell you thank you for sharing your life with the world. Our culture needs to see the beauty in every human being. Your lovely family life is the antedote to our culture of death and hatred. You are truly gorgeous and your family is breathtakingly beautiful. I have 3 children and am raising them in a family which cherishes all human beings at every stage, age and health level and we all enjoyed your show on TLC. Just watching your family has brought me so much joy and please don't allow those horrible comments cause you pain. Some people are hateful to everyone, not just you. They are just people with UGLY hatefilled hearts. I wish I could be your friend in real life because you are obviously an amazing person! The three of you are so blessed to have each other. My prayers go out to you as I send this. Cristianne & Jeremy, keep enjoying every moment with your precious daughter. God Bless you
From Melissa in Florida
>The people who leave messages that say you should not have a child are totally off base. Life is precious and you certainly deserved to experience bringing a new life into the world and your precious child has every right to experience everything life has to offer. I am prolife and 100% against eugenics, to abort a baby because they have a “disability” is a human rights violation. Eugenics is immoral.People need to wake up and open their hearts, eyes and minds and see the damage the death mentality does to the human race. I speak for those who do not have a voice. Thank you for sharing your story and helping make the world a better, more loving, place.
>Hello Christianne,
I’m Alexandra, from Maryland. I just watched TLC channel that aired your show and I think you are a wonderful, beautiful, caring person. You stay positive with a “can do” attitude. Even when things aren’t going as planned. Keep up the great job. Congrats to you and Jeremy, and hugs to Kyrsten. Love ya!!
>hi cristianneray. i justwatched you on tlc. i know how your husband feels when ya,ll are in public staring at you. i,m the same way about my nine yearold son . i turn and say do we have astaring problem. my son says it doesn,t bother him but i know at times it doe,s. that,s what mama,s are for to protect. andbelieve i speak my peace when we are out. you have a beautiful little one. and i saw that your husband loves you for who you are. size does,nt mean athing in my book my son is alittle person and i love him for who he is. he,s my heart and he,s apeople person believeme. so to the people who made those comments about little people shouldn,t be allowed to have babies .they have nothing better to do then down grade others . which is saying i hate mylife and i wish i was happy and had awonderful family like her. so god bless and hope you have more babies in ya,lls wonderful life together. do you have an email address would love to chat as i have alittle one who is alittle person.heres mine fires eyes44@cox.net have ablessedday
>I am watching your show as I am writing this. Girl you are BLESSED and your child is the same. Your boyfriend (husband) is a blessing as well. You both enjoy that beautiful baby and have a prosper life. Don’t let the ignorant comments of others bother you. LIVE YOUR LIFE, you are beautifully and wonderfully made in God’s eyes. I will continue to pray for you all. God Bless!!!
>First of all i want to tell you
that you are a very strong and admirable women and that you are very lucky to have a husband that loves you and cares for you.
Your daughter is wonderful and beautiful.Dont let those negative comments get to.. live your life and appreaciate what you have by your side. you are the most lucky women on earth!!.i wish you and your family the best. dont allow anyone to break you. Besides you already have the wonderful family that every women wishes to have.
>Dear Jeremy, Cristianne and Kyrsten,
Firstly, Jeremy you are an amazing person—I don’t know how else to put it. I honestly wish there were more people in the world with your attitude and outlook on life. In fact, I wish I was more like you in many ways. You seem so laidback, but at the same time, you’re so determined to give your wife and daughter whatever they need. I can’t believe there’s someone like you! Cristianne and Kyrsten are two very lucky girls.
Cristianne, I’ve looked through some of the comments made, and I’ve noticed that there are SO many more people that admire you and find you inspirational compared to those who are simply ignorant. If I were you, I would not take any rude comments personally or to heart at all, but rather read them for the “amusement” of trying to understand the black-heartedness of those individuals.
Jeremy and Cristianne, your daughter is a beautiful blessing and is so fortunate to have you two as parents. I’m so glad that you two are the parents because that means one more person with a perfect attitude.
You guys look great together and are both beautiful, inside and out (as often as it might have been said, I have no idea what other to put it, but like that). I can honestly say that this is the best relationship and best example of love I have ever seen.
I truly wish the three of you all the best and hope that no one comes between the both of you and your love for each other.
Erika, 18

>HI! I watched your show tonite and was appalled at the negative comments that you read from your website. What is wrong with people? Don’t they realize that people come in all shapes, colors and sizes? I am proud of your husband to show his love for you in spite of what people think. He saw th real you – I wish there were more people like you both in the world. I wish nothing but great things for your family. GOD BLESS!
>I just watched the show on tlc about u n ur daughter n boyfriend….1st let me say that those people with negative responses need 2 just grow up n respect u 4 who u r. children r a blessing no matter what challenges either physical or mental they face. I hope that all is well with u all. GOD BLESS U ALL!!!!!!!
>hey cristanne and jermy! me and my boy friend watched your show and i just wanted to say i thought it was so cool to see another couple going throw what we are going throw. not about your hight but watching another rocker couple take care of a new born.we to are young and now have a 2 month old little girl as well.if your little girl ends up looking like you,you better tell jermy to buy a shot gun from the boys lol.hold your head up high and dont listen to people who talk shit cause half the time its some loser sitting in his mothers basement jerking off to world of war craft lol.anyways hit me up on myspace sometime and well trade babys pics.(bloodyrose66@yahoo.com)
>I just wanted to say stay strong and keep your head up because there will always be heaters and i wish i had a headstrong friend like u .
>I watched your show the other week (in australia) and I have to say You are one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen..You and Your man are truly meant to be and I think all those idiots that were leaving such cruel comments about you on Youtube are just narrow minded bigots who seriously need to get a life!! I wish you and your family all the love, laughter and happiness in the world..Good luck for the future and may you have many more babies…Any children would be so lucky to have you 2 as parents :) Take care of yourself…Much Love ~Pammy~
>hi i saw your story on discovery channel last night, Kyrsten is beautiful, i can’t believe the comments people were putting online about you, all i can say is Karma, i wish you all the luck in the world with any other children you may have, and all the luck in the world for you, Kyrsten and Jeremy.
Jenny
>I’m watching the show right now and gotta say: The baby is beautiful. Jeremey is so patient and seems like an amazing man and father. But Kyrsten seems so demanding to those around her…ordering, telling, whining, rather than asking or showing any sort of politeness. JMO, Good luck.
>Well i want to start off by sayin to everyone who is sayin all this really mean and hurtful things you need to grow up,I mean you cant even leave your name so that just shows how much courage you have.
Critianne and Jeremy your little girl is so sweet.I to have a medical problem that i have passed on to one of my kids that i know of for sure.And most of these people of here dont understand that any medical conditon there is about a 50/50 chance to pass anything one. I am so sorry that you have to read and hear these things. Some of my own family has said those things to me. Just remember that if you werent meant to have childern God wouldnt of let you,and the only mistakes he makes are closed minded stupid people. Best of luck to your whole family-Kristi Wessel from Oklahoma
>Have you noticed that most of the “you’re amazing, awesome, strong woman, etc.” comments are coming from teens? One even admits she’s 15, pregnant, not married, and proud of it. She knows she can do it. Is she psychic as well? She needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Romantic notions get old fast when you have to face real life problems day after day.
I don’t wish any ill on you or the baby you already have, but now that you know you could pass this disease along to your children, why on earth would you want to take that chance 3 or 4 more times? Is your life so easy that you would want to visit it upon your children? I suspect that if you didn’t have your parents to cater to your every whim, you would see how hard things could really be. Your children will not have you to help them. You can’t even tend to them now. And where is Jeremy? Is he still with you? Why no update? This documentary is a few years old now and always gets a lot of attention, yet we haven’t heard anything more. Do you still read the posts here? If so, why haven’t you let people know how you’re doing? I’m willing to bet it’s because things aren’t quite as peachy as they used to be.
I find another thing strange and rather disgusting. When you met with other little people, why were you so uncomfortable around them? You even said you didn’t feel like them because you felt like you were more “normal”. That implies that all little people except you are abnormal. Really!?! You expect the world to treat you like some kind of princess, but you can’t relate to or take advice from other little people because they’re “different”. You could learn a lot from them. You want to talk about karma? You get what you give. You are a spoiled, immature brat, and that never makes for a beautiful person.
So, the next time you’re sitting around wondering why people would leave cruel comments and trying to gain sympathy from others, you should look inside yourself. You may be cute on the outside to some, but you aren’t loving, caring, accepting, or pretty on the inside. Your parents did you a disservice by spoiling you, but it’s time you take it upon yourself to grow up. If not, you’re going to make for one pathetic old woman. You’re not likely to get the “you’re amazing” comments then…
>You go girl. Congrats on your beautiful daughter and handsome fiance’,but you need to stop whinning. You are the mom. Stop acting like a baby and find ways to take care of yourself and fiance’ without the “poor me” attitude. Take life by the horns and quit acting like the bucked off cowgirl.

>Rock On Christianne!! Do not listen to those people who are so unhappy with their own lives that they must find negativity in everyone elses. You are a very strong, brave, and admirable person. Keep on Keeping on and Good luck with your and Justin’s wedding and future children.

>Hello cristianne, My name is lisa and you are truely an inspiration to many.Loved you and your husband. I think you guys are awsome parents.good luck with any further pregnancy.Don’t pay any attention to some of these evil people on here,because they are just jealous of your life.
>I am just watching your programme now, I feel the shining star in this show is Jeremy to have so much patience and ability to cope with a new baby and for Christianne’s condition makes him an amazing individual, to be so young and to have cared for his mother is a testament to his good nature and spirit. Christianne should be thankful for his love not because of her condition but it seems he is one of those outstanding people who care and cope with so much, he will be a wonderful father, she is coping amazingly as a new mum being so young, i wish them all good luck and best wishes for their families future.

>I want you to count the positive comments against the negative comments and smile knowing that there are more people out there that love the fact that you are just a couple that fell in love and had a beautiful baby girl. I wish you all the happiness that I have had myself with my wonderful husband and my three great sons. You both are truly people that the world should take note of and strive to emmulate!!
All my love,

>Dear Cristianne,
I’m watching your show as we speak. I have to say that you are a strong young girl and you shouldn’t let people get to you with their rude remarks. You are doing a great job at being a mother. Just keep your head up….everything will be alright. Know that you are truly an amazing person!! I hope your beautiful daughter grows up and lives a long healthy life.

>Cristianne, Jeremy and little Kyrsten, you are a beautiful family. There are people in this world, who are jealous of people like you, because, Cristianne and Jeremy, you have something they don’t have, you have love and you have each other. Don’t let the rude remarks of people get to you. People like that aren’t smart enough, to know any better…. Don’t ever let your hopes and dreams die. Without our hopes and dreams, we have nothing to build on and look forward to. I give you a “THUMBS UP”. On a scale from “1 to 10″, you are an “11″. You are amazing…. :)
God Bless!

>I really admire you. I think your really brave to have a baby. I’m under five foot and I’m pregnant for the first time. A lot of people are praying for twins. I will take whatever God gives me. I found a lot of simalarities between us. My husband’s name is Jeremy and he is a foot taller than me. I’ll have to get modifications to my car, so I can drive it safely while I’m pregnant. I’m the smallest in my family and was always the smallest in my classes. I didn’t want to be different and give up, so I tried not to let my height bother me. I was so determined, that I achieved my goal of making Varsity sports in high school. I figure if people have a problem with my height than that’s their problem. I know I have disadvantages, but I also have a lot of advantages. Thanks for your inspiring story. Treasure Ann
>I think she has all the rights in the world to be happy and have as many kids as she wants.
But…
She is constantly whineing. Seriously, grow up. You have a kid now. You’re short, so deal with it.
I feel sorry for her husband, she’s constantly whining at him and snaping at him and he’s doing the best he can. She acts like a two year old. She’s had her whole life to adapt to the world around her and when she can’t do something she doesn’t even try, she just sits their and whines.
She’s been given a loving family, a doting husband, a beautiful child and she doesn’t appreciate any of it.
>Hi, I have just watched the show and I am sorry to hear that there have been some very ignorant, disgraceful, ‘people’ that have written such bad comments.
Ignore them, you are a great mum and have a beautiful baby girl. It is too easy for other people to say it is ‘selfish’ to have a baby because of your condition, but ANYONE can give birth to a baby that can be born with any type of birth defect.
Good luck with everything.
>Oh and its funny how all the people leaving negative comments are showing up as anonymous.
You are all the ones who need to get lives for goodness sake!
Maybe one day you will have a child with a disability or end up with a disability through no fault of your own, then maybe your pathetic views will change!

>I am watching your show again right now on TLC. Your daugther is truly blessed to have you and jeremy as parents. Don’t listen to those nasty emails, people are stupid.
Hope to see an update soon.
>At this moment im watching your show; and let me say this is a touching story. god bless you and jeremy, its a blessing that he is able to help you out with your disability and has no problem with it, thats what you call a real husband..i wanted to say dont EVER give up on your dream just because your little..”life is way to short to give up" you dont have 2 b tall to fit in or to do certain things, what tall people can do you can do as, i can say that you are such a nice girl with a big heart of love..i know your baby girl is going to be okay wheather she is little or tall, life still goes on.. <3
>Hey! Your little girl is absolutly gorgeous! Don’t listen to what ignorant people say. You are right about any pregnancy being a risk. I was healthy my entire life, and had my daughter the day before I turned 22, and I had to have an emergency c-section. No matter if you are little or big, sick or healthy, anything can happen when you become pregnant. I hope your little girl is just as beautiful as you and has a strong spirit like you and your fiance. Take care of each other. You are an ispiration to moms of all sorts.
>Thank you for sharing your story.Gods Blessing on you and your beautiful family.Take care of each other and love eachother and that wonderful baby. Don’t give the nasty comments the time of day. Becky
>Im watching the show for the first time and im floored. completly blown away with her spirit. i wish society had half the spirit and out look she has. and for those of you who post as “Anonymous” grow a pair. if you have the balls to talk down to someone and say rude things directly toward her you should at least let have the balls NOT to hide. i think she is cute as hell and her daughter is totally beautiful. she is a very strong person who has already been through a lot. give her props for being brave enough to LET you into her life. seems some of you tend to forget she ALLOWED them to film her to LET you into her life. hats off to you my dear. congrats on the wedding and the beautiful baby! best wishes for the future!
>Hi Cristianne,
Just watched your story on TLC. Rock on girl!!! Your cool as hell. I’m so happy to see that your doing well. In love w/a baby to boot. I hope to see more of your story some day. Send me a e-mail if you have a free moment. Would love to b in touch with you. Rock on gf.
>I just watched your show and I found it to be very touching. I have I am disabled too and I have to be taken care of alot of the time. Alot of mine took place after I had my family. But I still get looked down on it. There is always going to be people to will say rude things you cant please them all. But most did not you have alot of support behind you and alot of people who care. Not only ones that knows you but people nationwide. My kids watched the show as well and they were heartbroken over the comments people made to you. I couldnt let my kids see the negitive comments on here, I feel it is completely wrong. I know ones mean well and just come across harsh and others are just flat out hatefull. But either way I want to let you know that you have our blessings. I hope that there will be updates. I am sure I will be spammed for this but it is a chance I am willing to take. If you see this message I would love to get updates you can contact me at teresa7676@yahoo.com
>I’m not a ‘tv’ watcher…but had to watch your show. You and Jeremy are amazing! God loves all of us, and no one should judge you because of your size! (The world puts too much emphasis on bodies). NEVER GIVE UP! You might not be tall, but you have tall goals! Keep it up! God is in control! :)
>Wow I just watched this show and I was so blown away and how amazing Christianne is!! Her personality is so terrific. I actually looked to see if I could find this show in the guide so I coudl tape it and show the rest of my family . Seen it twice already . Jeremy seems like a great guy .

>Hi Cristianne! I am watching your show and I wanted to tell you that I think you are great! You don’t complain about your hardships and you seem to do your best to live life to its fullest! I think that takes a lot of courage and I admire you! As for your baby, she is beautiful and I love that you had the courage to have a baby and God has blessed you and your fiance with her! You and your fiance seem like a great couple and I wish you all the best! I hope this helps because I saw how upset you were at the terrible comments left by others. Don’t let them bother you, they just don’t understand and they have closed minds. You are blessed to be unique and you should always take pride in that. God and your family love you and that’s all that matters! You go girl!

>It is Dec 30th 2008. I am watching your show on TLC. It must be a re-run since so many other people have seen the show and commented on it. I admire Jeremy for being so patient and for not stressing out when people say mean things. He is right, there is not one can do about people and their comments. It only causes stress and conflict. I also admire Cristie Anne’s family for helping out. But as far as Cristie Anne, she really NEEDS to stop WHINNING!!
She sounds like a five year old. If she is going to try to be a normal grown adult than act like one. She should treat Jeremy better and stop acting so selfish and childish.
>i just wanted to say that people who make comments about your size are just ignorant. you are an amazing girl with a beautiful daughter and i hope that your perception on life never changes. i admire you so much for the way you deal with the challenges that you face in your life. you truly are an inspiration to me. good luck with your marriage!
>I just want to say as a mother and a child of God…you are fearfully and wonderfully made!!!! Don’t listen to the negative remarks from people. We ALL take chances when we have a baby of anything going wrong with our children. Unfortunately we live in a world that has not alot of compassion for people with disabilities or people born different. But, the bible talks about us being knit together in our mothers womb. We are made the way God wanted us to be. If we were all perfect with nothing wrong with anybody…what kind of compassion would we have. With suffering we have compassion ( quoted from a movie.) Which is sooo true. People now just want to kill people who aren’t like them. Who aren’t status quo to them. But, you are who you are all 2ft 7in of you because he designed you to be perfect that way. And you are a blessed woman to find someone who loves you the way you are. Out of everyone in the world he chose YOU!! People don’t understand sometimes how someone could love someone with a disability or difformity. But, God bless the person who willingly and lovingly excepts someone and loves them unconditionally!! Didn’t God do the same? Aren’t we all fallable and imperfect..but, he loves us all anyway. Take what people say with a grain of salt. They are people who need to learn alittle compassion. You have every right to be a mom. What some people don’t realize either about people with sicknesses and diseases and disabilities, is that they don’t seem to care that they are the way they are. Alot of times because they realize that the Lord made them the way they are and they are okay with that. We could learn alot from people like you. God Bless and I hope you read this comment over those negative ones and keep being a wonderful mom and always keep your husband first. You keep him first and your children will be happy. Because they will have mom and dad together and they will feel security. You will be in my prayers. God Bless Erika G from new jersey

>Cristianne and Jeremy…My wife and I just saw the documentary on TLC and I wanted to tell you how much I admire your integrity and perservierance. Jeremy, you are a true measure of a man and I have the utmost respect for the way you handle your life and the relationship with your family. Never let negativity undermine the joy you both share. Bill Neal
>READ THIS.
okayyy, Cristianne dont listen to anybody who says anything bad about you and your family. You are a person just like anybody else, and deserves to have a baby like anyone else. I dont see you as different, your living and breathing just like me. =] And I wish you the very best of luck to you, your baby girl and husband.
>We just watched your show and we just want to say, we think you’re amazing and fuck everyone who thinks you shouldn’t be a mom. You are so gorgeous and your baby is so so cute. Don’t listen to what other people are saying about you and your baby. Go get married, have fun with your family and know that all the people in the world love you and think that you are doing the right thing by keeping your daughter, wanting more kids and making the most of your life! :)

>Hey Cristianne, I just wanted to say first GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I think that its amazing that you were able to be pregnant for over 30 weeks despite what people were telling you. Your daughter is a beautifal little gift from God and despite what all those ignorant arrogant people were saying i think you have a fantastic family backing you 100% I also give kudos to Jeremy for stepping up to the plate and being a real man instead of running away like many men would do if they found out their girldfriend was pregnant. I will be praying for your beautifal daughter and your family and yourself.
Godbless

>i think that you are an amazing mother and have huge amount of courage for taking on the task of raising a child. i watched your show and was just amazed. And I also that that who ever can sit there and judge you based upon your height needs to look around. you are a very very beautiful person and so is your daughter. I hope that you and your fiance have a very happy life. I think that your story is a very amazing one and for everyone of you that decided to bash her just because she has child because she is a small person. Really? Now that shows what kind of character you are.
>I think that you guys will have a very strong baby, and all of these people who are saying bad things have no life and should think about how she has to live her life
>I just wanted to say to all the people who have left rude comments on here about Cristianne Ray and her family. You should be ashamed of what you have said. What are you going to do when you have a child with the same conditions or worse. You never know what could happen you are suppose to love your child no matter what. She has done nothing to anybody on here to deserve this kind of comment from anybody no person should have to go through this.
Also to the lady who posted the comment on how jeremy should leave her and come to you if he wants a real women. You are a bitch i cant stand people like that. No man will ever stay with you with that attitude.
Jeremy I think you are a great father and soon to be husband keep it up. Your doing great.
to Christianne You are a great mom you have a family and family is suppose to help each other you are lucky. I wish you the best of luck for the future. Dont listen to these people they a just jelious

>CRISTIANNE I WATCHED YOUR SHOW ON TLC AND I HEARD YOU SAY THAT PEOPLE WERE SAYING THAT JEREMY WASNT MENTALLY SANE AND I THING THEY’RE WRONG WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE YOU CANT FALL OUT OF LOVE AND WHOEVER SAID THAT YOU SHOULDNTHAVE HAD THAT BABY NEEDS A MENTAL CHECK THAT BABY IS BAUTIFUL AND I HOPE THAT SHE GETS BETTER YOU ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HER AND JEREMY AND I THINK THATS SHES LUCKY TO HAVE YOU AS HE MOM GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YALL!
>Ya know, I’m sure the pair of them will be great parents and Christianne and Jeremy truly do have the cutest baby ever.
But sadly I have to agree with the comments that Christianne is the WHINIEST person I have ever seen on television REGARDLESS of stature. Her focus throughout the program seemed to be primarily on herself. Then again I don’t know many 19-year old girls that aren’t obsessed with themselves to a degree (they’re teenagers and still have a lot of growing to do, and it’s an awesome path.)
I don’t claim to know her intimately. I just hope that perhaps she will be mature enough to see that there might be a grain of truth in all the negative postings, and use it to make herself a more mature, thoughtful human being.
Also I wonder if it wasn’t partly the editing staff’s fault for portraying her as such? Man I hope so.
For all of you good souls out there telling her to ignore the negativity, bully for you. But through criticism she is allowed opportunity for emotional growth and by telling her to shun that, you are enabling her to remain stunted as a woman, mother, and wife.
Christianne like I said, I don’t know you. All I can go on is what is presented to me. Raise your baby, be a wife, rock on with the driving, but take a real good look at the footage and see if you don’t realize that your attitude and behavior can EASILY come across as unnervingly immature.
Quit whining! Be strong! Don’t be afraid of the LP community, either. By rejecting them inherently you are REJECTING YOURSELF. They have so much you can learn from if only you open yourself up to it!
Remain humble, and you will grow into an amazing woman.
>ok i have a few things to say… im still watching your show. you are trying on wedding dresses right now! first off i would like to say WOW! im proud of you. you have beaten the odd with your little girl. CONGRADULATIONS! enjoy your little bundle of joy. just remember mother to mother they grow fast so you want to be more involved in her life. i understand the troubles that you do have like changing the baby on couch. that does not work you will have to find another way!
on the flip side. now i dont know if its just your voice or if you are whinning. but i agree with the other posters an im nt being mean. but you are a mom and you need to speak like a mom or your daughter will grow up to be a whinner. and your husband has his hands full with the things that you can not do im sure if the whinning stopped and i cant do it i cant do it changed it would be a relief on his part. a marriage is only as strong as you both make it. they say your health is at risk due to your weight dont have your husband carry you! what are you going to do when the baby is to big for you to carry and your husband has to carry the little bundle of joy. what are you going to do then. you need to grasp ahold of your life and do more for yourself to show your daughter that she is her own person. show her she can over come anything in the future. MOMS dont whine, they speak like adults!
bless you and your family! happy new year. and dont except anything but the best and reach for the stars!
>I think it is wonderful that you went through with the pregnancy. You’re a very strong woman, and jeremy is an amazing man. I wish you all the luck in the world. Don’t listen to any negative comments. Your daughter already has an advantage because her mom has gone through everything already. You will be able to help her through everything. Your daughter is adorable, and congrats on such a beautiful family.
>i am watching your show for the first time and good for you. do not listen to what the losers say and you go for your dreams. you look great in your wedding dress.Jeremy hope being a dad is the greatest joy in the world you are a good father. you both as parents have had to deal with what most people dont. Adversity. take care of yourselves and that precious baby girl she is so beutiful. and if you want a new friend i have myspace. take care audra
>That’s right, don’t listen to any of the negative remarks, even if they are spot-on good advice. Yes, your baby is adorable (are all babies are), so just keep popping ‘em out until you’re bored with the idea, then onto the next whim. Beyond all your annoying whining, complaining, and the likes, your real problem is that you are a child, and a very spoiled and sheltered one at that. You are immature to the point of being deluded. The fact that you see yourself as different from the LP community is proof of that. They’re all short and weird and you’re normal. Right. Your parents have done you a major injustice in not making you face reality. You’re in desparate need of a huge wake-up call and a full length mirror.
You may one day become an amazing woman and an inspiration, but at the moment you’re just pathetic. You need to grow the hell up.
>Hi…
I think your family and baby is amazing. Your baby is so darlin’. As a 21 year old, I really was honored to hear about you and your family. My email is cmelbg22@hotmail.com

good luck to you all and big hugs and kisses to your adorable daughter..
lots of love from jayne & family in england. xxxx
>Hi Ya’ll,

(sooorryyy for my english!!!)
byeee =)
>I wish your family all the happiness Krysten and don’t take any note on the negativity of peoples comments or stares. just focus on what makes you happy! :)
>Howdy, Cristianne Ray, I saw you on tlc and when I saw you feeling uncomfortable in meeting other little people. I was reminded of my black friend, Rina, who grew up here in WV- a culture of and atmosphere of a lot of white people. She was even adopted by white people. She had a fear of black people even though she was black all the way up until she went to college this year and got to know others like herself… The more you experience life, as unique as it may be, the more you find that your life is still a lot like that of others around you. I hope and pray for your family to be successful.
>I am watching your story right now and I saw on there that the comments you read made you upset. Don’t let anyone get you down, you are doing fine and if you weren’t, your little girl would have been taken away already. You and Jeremy keep doing what you’re doing and give that little girl a full and happy life and raise her to know she can do anything she puts her mind to. I wish you all good luck and happiness with your marriage and the raising of your young one.
>I am so happy to see you guys doing well!
Gos bless you and yours :)
>First off I do wish you guys the best of luck raising that precious baby! I am trying to understand why you guys want more and I am trying not to judge but I could not imagine 3 if I really could not care for them…I have 3 and they are a lot of work! LOL Yeah that whining has to go. I know Jeremy MUST love you cause most guys would not deal with that intense whining! Also when you take that baby for shots get over yourself! When you make a big deal like that with whining and covering your eyes you are going to make her scared of the doctor! I know about shots and I hate watching my kids get them but come on your an adult act like one.
>Hi just wanted to let you know that i watched your show last night and it really touched me, bcus you have a good man on your side. and im so happy that there are still men out there who would do anything for some1 they love no matter how they look or act. but i do think you should appreciate him alot more instead of whinning and complaining all the time. but anyway, good luck with everything. and take care of yourself and your beautiful baby girl
from Huntington Beach, CA
>I am so confused about all of the comments saying “you are a great mom”! What? The only thing I saw related to her and her baby was the whining while changing a diaper and then crying when the baby was getting a shot. There is nothing great about that. And she needs to become more independent…she can walk, she was walking while she was pregnant, she needs to start walking again, which will also help with her weight gain and she needs to start trying to do things for herself. I feel sorry for the poor baby, she has a mother that will still want to be the center of attention, and she’s going to raise that baby to be dependent on people as well. I sure hope Jeremy doesn’t get tired of the whining because he’ll end up taking that baby and leaving and then she’ll be on her own. Irresponsible, not because of being short, but because of being dependent on other people financially and physically. (Oh, and did you see how the actual little people at the gathering were looking at her? THey were talking about child proofing and taking care of the house etc and she didn’t have a freakin’ clue.) You guys need to get a grip encouraging her and commending her, that is strictly because she is disabled, if she was not you wouldn’t give a hoot about a couple of kids having babies and sponging off of the grandparents, geess.
>Thank you so very much, Vanessa!! I couldn’t have said it better myself. There is nothing to be admired about someone who wants to capitalize on their disablilty and whine about it rather than do what they can for themself. The rest of you need to stop giving her a free pass to act like a brat — it’s past time to grow the hell up.
>Hello, I am watching your show right now, Im Really interested into it ad believe it or not I am only 13 years old. I totally respect the way your made and I think you are a very courageous person. I think you could be a great role model for several mothers who think they struggle with their normal lives. Love comes in all types, and im glad you found a guy out there who sees you for you and not for your anatomy. Forget all the people who think you are selfish, everyone has the right to have a child. Shame Shame Shame on them.
>Cheyenne, with every “right” comes a responsibility. Christianne can’t even be responsible for herself — her parents and Jeremy (if he’s still around) tend to her every need and whim. With so many strong women in today’s world, surely you can find a better role model… You’re only 13, plenty of time to set your sights higher.
>Cristianne, my 9 year old son came into the room while I was watching the show and when he saw how the people in the store were turning around to stare when you were in the shopping cart with your precious Kirsten he was apalled! I have always taught my children not to stare at anyone who looked different, even so, I can understand why a small child might stare because they may be curious. But,when elderly and other grown adults, who should know better,act in such a manner as they did, there is no excuse. Jeremy, it takes a special person at just 19 years of age to be as mature and responsible as you are. And Cristianne, I can’t believe some of the comments that are being made about your voice being whiny. Perhaps they are so ignorant as to the fact that, the smaller a person is the smaller and higher pitched a persons voice. It has to do with the size of their voice box. Duh! A child’s voice changes as they grow. To all of the anonymous!!! commentators, I have to wonder how whiny you might be if you were going through the frustration that Cristianne is dealing with through! Should you not be able to experience the wonder of motherhood just because you a little person.It is evident that you are trying to be more independent. Did you get your car yet? I hope so. Your baby is beautiful and so are you. Cristianne, I was just wondering …why don’t you want to cut your hair? It is hiding your pretty face.
>Hi, I’m Jo from Italy.
I’m watching the show right now.
Cristianne, I think it’s time for you to grow up now.
I’m fifteen but i act more adult than you do. My five-year-old cousin acts more adult than you do.
I just can’t stand you whining and complaining.
And Jeremy, get a grip. Cristianne is like a baby, and you’re giving her all she wants.
I hope your baby will grow up healthy and normal regardless of her bone illness.
And Cristianne, I’m not saying this just because I have something against little people or something like that. I just think you’re selfish because you didn’t even do any research about the geneticity of that illness. People like you (not short people but immature) shouldn’t have children.
>You and your baby are both beautiful. Don’t be sad about the stupid commends. Good luck.
>I kno Im a lil late but has antone noticed that anyone who leaves a bad comment does it annoymos and its because they are cowards and i feel that any person desreves to have a family and i feel u and your husband will be great parents and excel in what ever u decide to do!!!!
>okat to all the people that are making fun of the couple go and F*** yourselves. they take good care of their baby and they bleed the same colour as we do. i have a baby and i have dwarfism ( achondroplasia) and i am 5 ft nothing and have a healthy baby boy with a husband that is 6’2 and my baby is healthy and fine. to all you people that make fun of us people with short stature get alife and if you have nothing nice to say then you should shut your mouth and move on and leave us humans alone. congrats on your family . i wish the best for you to. and cristianne just think of it this way those loosers are just jealous cause we have wonderful gifts and so much to show for and they have nothing obviosuly if they are putting people down then they obvisouly have nothing better to do and no lives. also to all the people that wrote only positive things keep writeing more positive things and to the other people that are writeing negative things GROW UP AND GET A EFFING LIFE and leave this wonderful family out of this. take care cristianne and i hope to hear from you cause remember. dont laugh at me dont call me names you get your please from my pain in gods eyes were all the same and someday well all have perfect wings dont laugh at me. i love you your little one and jeremy i am thinking about you all the time xoxo!!!!hugs and kisses
>Hi. I have watched your show a few times, and was appalled at what some of the ingnorant people had to say! And the fact that some people said that you have an annoying whine! UHHH! Hello, he small stature makes her voice a higher pitch. In case you didn't know there is a 2ft girl in midwest USA that has a high pitch voice that makes her sound like she is whining. She isn't!!! She is talking!!
Anyway, I think you are a wonderful WOMAN and a strong MOTHER. Keep up the good work.
Jeremy you keep the faith and God will give you strenghth.
If you guys want to talk my email is charmedprue1988@yahoo.com.
XOXOXOXOXO Kayla
>I was just watching your show "My shocking Story" and all I have to say is that Cristianne is such a whiny bitch. I feel REALLY bad for her husband. All she does is whine and want her way. She should watch her back because someday her husband is going to get tired of her shit and leave her for someone how doesn't whine and carry on as much as she does. He is really hott and shouldn't be carrying around his wife like a baby. That bitch can walk. She should try at least so she can loose some of that weight. Give me a break she is 20 years old. What a baby! I couldn't put up with that. If I was Jeremy I would tell her to stop being so lazy and get her own things and that he is not her servant. Jeremy deserves much better. Cristianny PLEASE GROW THE FUCK UP!!
>I just want to people who have left bad comments. there the ones who should be put to death at birth. for someone to say that about someone they don't evan know are nieve. I'm native american I here coments like this from people. I feel sorry for them for being the way they are. as long as you have someone who loves you as you are and it sounds like you have a good personality. And someone who cares about you. he's a rare find don't let him go. he's a cool man.
>Cristianne don't you think that if more than a handful of ppl are saying the same exact thing that it might be true?? You ARE a whiny bitch and your poor husband. Why don't you try to act like and adult? Your husband doesn't need to be carrying you around or dragging you. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Grow up!!! Have you even watched yourself on the show? I would be embarrassed and actually take these comments into consideration. Obviously if more than 10 ppl are calling you whiny then you might want to believe it because we are all seeing the same thing. You better keep a close eye and leash on your husband. He doesn't deserve to be treated like you treat him. Jeremy you are hot and don't take any shit from your 2 year old wife. Don't let her treat you like a little bitch either. If my hisband talked to me like she does to you he would get a slap or two. You are the man in the house and you should put her in her place. Don't let her act like a little child. Cristianne, GROW UP or else you will be by yourself whining in the corner alone!!
>"Kayla" is mistaken — it's not the pitch of Cristiane's voice, she is truly whining and complaining. Watch some of the other little people shows. They're short in stature but adults, and they act and speak like it. The Foos come to mind as perfect examples.
Since we haven't had an update on Cristianne in 2 years, I'm betting Jeremy is long gone. No sane person could put up with her attitude of entitlement and constant bitching for long. He looked relatively sane to me, and I'd bet he's moved on to someone who is a little more giving a little less demanding.
>I have seen you and your beautiful family story for the first time. i was deeply hurt by the hurtful things people had to say and i am sorry we have such people in this world. I wish you and your family love and many moments to share.you have a wonderful soon to be husband. You are blessed in everything you are and have. I hope to see and hear more.
>You and yours family are may inspiration the prove of love do not stay on what the eyes seem and yes on what the heart see thanks for people like you and your family exists.
Sorry my bad english im for Brazil
Júnior.
>Eu assisti um pouco da sua vida pela TV na Discovery Brasil, parabéns, vc e sua familia são lindos, espero que vcs sejam felizes.

>I watched a rerun of your show last night & was truly amazed at how you both handle daily life. Your Mom and Dad raised a truly wonderful daughter. Your daughter is absolutely beautiful and Jeremy is such a devoted Dad & husband. When I watched him interact with both you and your daughter, I thought of how proud his Mom must be of him as she looks down upon you all. I would be very proud to have a son like Jeremy. Bless you all!

>PPL PLS UNDERSTAND THAT I`M TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING SO THAT HER LIFE WOULD BE GREAT FOREVER N I`M NOT BEING RUDE…OK first of all i`m really glad to see such a loving husband cos that`s rarely seen but on the other hand u should really try to concentrate on ur baby cos u may be short but u r like any other normal person n ur child will learn from u n if u keep whining so will ur child… I`m not being rude i just want u to set an example to ur baby.. life would really be difficult for ur folks if u equalize urself to ur child… Be a mother n that will encourage both jeremy n ur baby…Pls Forgive me if i hurt ur feelings…
