I totally get where you are coming from, but it's odd because my daughter is not adopted and she's itty bitty. She's missing three of the four chambers of her heart and has some other health issues. Post-operatively she looks very healthy, except that she's so tiny. She was 11 pounds at a year and a half. Now she will be four next Saturday and she's still tiny. There was a two and a half year old yesterday that was A HEAD taller than her!

I was a teacher and know that kids will pick on ANY kid for ANY reason. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Lots of love and reassuring words to boost healthy self confidence does wonders. We are what we are. Some will be taller~ some smaller. In the end, love and support has gotten us through some tough times at this house, so I am hoping my little angel knows that her size is the least of her issues.
