Stacey Herald, a 28 1/2-inch (72 cm) woman, had just given birth to an 18-inch (46 cm) daughter who wasn't much smaller than her mother!
Pregnancy swelled Herald’s belly to comically large proportions, the woman said.
“If I laid down, I looked like a snail,” she said, laughing. “That's how big my belly was. I looked like an Idaho potato with arms and legs.”
She kept laughing as she recalled her late-stage pregnancy.
“You couldn't see my feet,” Herald said. “You know, my legs are there you know, but my belly came out so long, that all you could see was a belly with toes."

What a hateful attitude. Millions of parents who have adopted would beg to differ with you.
Are you 28 1/2 inches tall? If this woman went to adopt kids, she would be turned down by people with the same narrow-minded and judgmental opinions that you've shown here.
Just thinking of what she's gone through just to have kids shows how strong this woman is. Oh, I forgot, you risked getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from all that paper-signing when you adopted.
Guess what? I did! Best thing I've ever done.

I never suggested she couldn't love her own kids. Just that she isn't able to open herself up enough to love those who really need it.
I'm sorry you don't consider parents who adopt as being equal to those who have their own. But I've always seen the ability to open your heart and home to a child in need as a greater thing than having your own. Only the strongest can take that journey and suffer the heartbreaks and setbacks that often occur. If you truly want to make the world a better place, start with the kids who need families.
