MDJunction to me

"MDJ is so cool! I was able to work on all my problem areas separately but simultaneously. Eventually, with advice, support, direction and encouragement from a diverse bunch of genuine people, I began to heal and was able to put myself together as one unified whole. This site is one awesome tool!" (sharone)

My name is Beth and my Grandson was born on May 20, 2010 with Achondroplasia. We have looked at the LPA website and we are very interested in a support group/local chapter with other parents with children with achon.

I think this is crucial and will be very beneficial to my daughter and her husband and all of us. We have yet to connect with other families experiencing the same feelings and experiences with an infant/child with achondroplasia...

If you know of an active and current group in the Plano,Frisco area we would love to hear from you.

I thought that I would send you a message. Are you or your daughter on Facebook? We have a wonderful group on there called POLP (Parents of Little People). I googled where Plano is and I have several LPA friends in TX. There's a family that lives in Allen, which doesn't look too far from you. Katie has a 3 year old son. You can email me at jkmurphy@surewest.net I look forward to hearing from you. Jaime
