Introduction

“I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

This site is dedicated to support those with congenital limb differences.  Our son was born with a congenital below-the-elbow limb defect.  That is how the name for this site (belowelbow.com) originated.  Because we are Christians, we want to use this forum to glorify God for the differences he creates in all of us. We hope people from all walks of life will enjoy visiting the site and sign the guestbook.

Hello.  We are the proud parents of two precious children.  Our son was born without his left forearm and hand, it was a surprise because this had not been detected during ultrasounds.  In the weeks and months ahead, the quest for information and desire for contact with other families lead us to search the Internet.  Ongoing communication with people in similar situations through e-mail has been a huge help…..emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.  We hope this site will provide you with insights, ideas, resources and a hopeful perspective.
