Couple Alyssa Biddle and Jonathon Tripp were both born with dwarfism, and their genes carried on after having children, as their elder daughter, 3-year-old Sienna, was born with dwarfism as well. Biddle and their daughter Sienna have a form of dwarfism known as achondroplasia, while dad Jonathon has a similar, though unique, type called hypochondroplasia.
After having a second daughter who was born without the condition, 29-year-old Biddle noticed that their family started to routinely get questions challenging whether the two sisters were really related. So the mom decided to speak out, hoping to clear up some misconceptions she’s heard surrounding dwarfism and families.
