when i saw her picture inthe newspaper i cried, not because i was feeling sorry for her but because i was overwhelmed by the courage the parents had for raising her for the past two years considering that other parents would have neglected her after birth or terminated the pregnancy. she is the most amazing creation. i wish her all the luck and bet that she wil survive. alice

I'm only 16 and I thought it was sad to see how the little girl lived for 2 years. There is nothing wrong with having deformities, all people should be treated with the same respect not matter what. When I heard about it from one of my teachers, it was really interesting. I would like to travel to that side of the world someday to help people through their problems and I just might run into that family while traveling through India, I wish this family all the luck in the world and I will make sure to pray for the surgery to go well. This is one brave family to have dealt with this for so long but when they look back on it Lakshmi may think it was a good idea anyway. Again, good luck with everything, I will be hoping and praying.
