"We get a lot of feedback from people that just don't deserve to have a voice, honestly, like in our lives," Tori explained. "It is brought up occasionally, you know, questioning our decision to have children when we knew they could have dwarfism."
Zach, 34, noted that he and Tori, 33, had a 50/50 chance of having a dwarf child during each pregnancy. However, all three of their kids— Jackson , 7, Lilah , 4, and Josiah , 2—were born with achondroplasia dwarfism .
"We have three children that have dwarfism that we chose to bring into this world," Tori shared. "And I can't imagine in what world you live in that you can look at our three kids and be like, 'Yeah, that wasn't supposed to happen.'"
She continued, "I cannot look at my kids and see anything but the grace of God and the love of Jesus."
Zach expanded on these sentiments, sharing, "And then comments will say, like, 'Why would you bring kids with dwarfism in, they're gonna get ridiculed?' And it's like, 'Hold on. That's not my problem and that's not their problem. That's those people's problems.'"
He added: "You're telling me I shouldn't have brought kids in with dwarfism because of the ridicule they're going to get from society? That's a society issue... Society needs to change."
Whatever happens with the reality TV series, hopefully, the parents of three continue to share about their lives and children on their podcast and social media accounts.
