do they have a chance?

of course they do its all a matter of genes. for instance (and correct me if im wrong but I thought I remembered you not being from the united states) in the united states there in a show on tv called "Little People,Big World" and its about a family of "Little People" and they have children that are both little like them as well as normal size. They even have a set of twin boys that one is little and one is normal. I'm not sure if outside intervention is a MUST but of course like most other things its always an option.

Well, I think it depends really. Genetics is tricky, because you can inherite a reccessive short gene and a dominant tall gene, and be tall or even vice versa, get two reccessive tall genes from your parents and be tall. I'm sure there is a better chance for someone to be short, if both of thier parents are short, but I don't think it's an absolute truth. My husband is shorter than normal (about 5 foot 4 inches) I am average (5 foot 6 inches) our oldest son is quite large for his age, the doctor said if he continues growing at his expected rate, we can expect him to be about 6 foot, if not more. But, i have cousins who are well above 6 foot on both sides of my family! I must make note though, that being short is not a bad thing. FOr some reason in this society, being short has a negative connotation. If you ask me, I would much rather be short than tall. I don't think that being short calls for interenvention, even people who have dwarfism, it's not a handicap, it's just how God made them. People need to be more accepting of other people regardless of thier size, weight or any other differences! (:

This struck me as really funny. Outside intervention? What? Are you going to put them on a rack and stretch them out? LOL. Just couldn't help it...

Children do not turn aout like their parents all the time.It is possible to grow tall even if your parents are short. My sister is quite short - noone else in the family are that short

I would say that they do have a chance. I myself come from a short mom and dad and am only 5 foot 2 but my sister and brother are a lot taller than me although younger. The same can be said for people with disabilities although there can be a higher chance of their children inheriting the disability they are also able to give birth to able bodied children also. It's just one of those things I'm afraid and also dependant on genes of family members that have lived way before we were even thought of.
