Dwarfism is a short stature that results from a genetic or a medical condition. People with dwarfism often face discrimination and dejection from society. In recent times, however, people suffering from this condition are sharing their life stories to combat the biases against it. One of them is the Australian couple Charli and Cullen, who tied the nuptial knot in 2012. Charli, an Australian woman, has been suffering from Achondroplasia, the most common type of dwarfism. Cullen is suffering from achromic dysplasia, a condition that hinders his physical growth. The duo wanted to embrace parenthood, but were advised by the doctors against it. As per the doctors, there was a 25 percent likelihood of having a child with a similar condition, and an equal chance of a child not surviving.
Nonetheless, in 2015, Charli became pregnant for the first time. They embraced parenthood with their baby girl named Tilba. She is expecting again in 2018 and conceived for the third time in 2020. Two of the three children inherited their medical condition. The third born, however, didn’t inherit the distinctive traits of the parents.
Charli and Cullen have now launched their Instagram accounts as well. Their accounts chronicle the family’s journey from Tilba’s birth to fighting dwarfism prejudice. The couple shares how they have to encompass both accomplishments and hurdles as well. Fortunately for them, their baby girl Tilba, has grown into a cheerful and vivacious girl. They, however, have to leave no stone unturned to protect their daughter from the unpleasant remarks from the people. The couple has remained focused on their social media journey despite facing a couple of mean people online. They often share intriguing glimpses from their everyday life. In one of the recent photos that Charli posted on Instagram, she posed with her three adorable children. The caption of the picture reads, “Might be coming down from the sugar high for the next 572 days. So much fun tonight … happy Halloween”.
