Do you remember the remarkable couple who were strongly advised by doctors not to have children? Despite the dire warnings and medical concerns, they are now proud parents of three.
Charlie has achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism, while Cullen lives with a rare condition called geleophysic dysplasia, which can lead to complications with breathing and cardiovascular health. Their eldest daughter, Tilba, and their second child inherited Charlie’s form of dwarfism, while their youngest son, born in 2021, was not affected by these genetic traits.
Against all odds, this family continues to embrace life wholeheartedly. They travel the world, share their experiences through a popular Instagram blog, and offer encouragement and support to others facing similar challenges.
Their home is filled with love, acceptance, and a deep commitment to raising their children with confidence and resilience in a world that often lacks understanding.

Their journey raises an important and sensitive question: Should individuals with genetic conditions feel empowered to make bold decisions about building a family? Their story doesn’t offer easy answers — but it certainly challenges common assumptions and celebrates the strength of love, determination, and hope.
