A woman born with Apert syndrome who has been warned not to have children , insists she’d be an amazing mum even if she passed it on to her baby Born with Apert syndrome – a condition that causes deformities of the skull, face, hands and feet – life has not been easy for Jean Kelly.
But now, the brave 26 year old has met the love of her life and is planning to start her own family.
She has defied doctors’ predictions that she would be blind, deaf and dumb and die before the age of three and lives a full and happy life.She told The New Day
I have had to deal with strangers on the street telling me I’m ugly,”
“But as I’ve got older, I’ve learned that it says more about the person being cruel than it does about me.I’ve had to battle all my life but it has made me the person I am.Now I have met a man, we are in love and I would love us to get married and have children.
“There is a 50% likelihood that I will pass my condition on to any baby that we have, but I am willing to take that chance.
“I know that I will be an amazing mum, and if my child does have Apert syndrome, I will make sure their life is just as wonderful as mine.
Two years ago, at a day centre, Jean met and fell in love with Martin Stokes, 28, who is visually impaired and has cerebral palsy.
Jean says: “We became friends, and after a while we realised that we both had feelings for each other.I’ve always dreamed of getting married and having a family of my own. And when I met Martin, it finally felt like a possibility.
“He’s the kindest, most loving person I have ever met and he makes me feel like the most beautiful person in the world.
“We have both faced difficult times and that will put us in a good position to be good parents and help our children, should they face the same prejudices we have.”
And despite the challenges she has faced, Jean says she’s glad she was born with the condition, saying: “I wouldn’t change my Apert syndrome for the world.
“They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and I’ve learned that this also applies to people.

She defied the odds the Dr gave her. There’s also a 50 % chance her baby would be normal. Everyone deserves happiness regardless of what society thinks! If everyone swept their own porch instead of their neighbor’s porch, the world would be so much better!
I pray God gives u a beautiful baby that you deserve.
she will raise her child and be better than all these poor excuses for mothers… if she can have kids, let her have kids we cannot judge
Why don’t we focus on the 50% percent chance that the baby could be normal. The child has been conceived and should be born. I’m happy she’s taking her chances. God will see her through, she deserves to be happy and a mother .
She has the right to have a baby like any other woman, I don’t see the problem…
She gonna got her replica even more worse
What a woman
Go for it gal isn’t that what we all want when we have children?Pass on our genes to someone
