They want to show how little people live day by day in a world that was built for average sized people. The idea is to educate the viewers in an entertaining way that although little people may look different they still live ordinary lives. They just face more physical challenges day to day; things an average -sized person can do easily and takes for granted like driving a car, opening doors, sitting in a chair, or standing at a stove coooking dinner.

I think she's very pretty.

$75K seems reasonable for a surogate parent, but it seems easier and cheaper just to adopt. Making a woman carry someone else's baby for 9 months just to give it up and making her spouse/significant other wake up at 2 AM to run to the hospital or go to the store to buy pickles and ice cream would be annoying knowing the fact that it's not even your kid.

Does Santa know they're moonlighting on tv ?

I still think the show where Bill had to masturbate for the sample was incredibly funny. He came out of the room with his hair messed up. And, Jen looked at him like she was surprised that he was able to make a contribution. LOL, LOL. Wow.

Wow, imagine having a normal sized teenager when you'tre that small? That could be a bit difficult, trying to "ground" someone or keep them from going to an iffy party or something? : )

Dr. Arnold, you're a doctor, & you went to school for many years. It is very surprising, THAT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE WORD "SURROGATE". You always pronounce it "Sar-a-git". It's pronounced "sir-a-git". You are the only doctor, & medical person, that I've heard mispronounce that word, & I am not a doctor, but I'm in the field of medicine, also. The word "surrogate" is one of the first words we learned. I want to throw my surgical booties at you, every time you do that.

Yes they can, but it is very risky. Each dwarf parent carries one abnormal FGFR3 and one regular FGFR3 gene. Since dwarfism is a dominate trait they only have a 25 percent chance of passing on two normal FGFR3 genes resulting in a child of average height. Its like playing Russian roulette with your penis. Except someone else ends up getting the shaft.

i am assuming that you are 5 foot guy.are you sad cause your a duchebag?

[missjennvmassey]

@tasceaie1493 Jen is too small to carry a child properly. Especially since there is like a 50% chance of the baby being a normal height/weight.
