Aw, I'm glad you're here, too Jane!
A couple of years ago I wanted to find other people with ectrodactyly. My entire life I had only read about it and even though I almost always fit in, I wanted to talk to other people who had ectro. I never considered myself disabled and still don't. But I didn't know where else to start, so I began checking out disabled groups on Myspace. On one of their threads on a message board, someone talked about Disaboom. I looked into the site and about 2 years later, here I am. I am yet to find someone here with ectro., so I've often wondered why I stick around. I mean, if I don't think I'm disabled and there's no one else with ectro. here, then why stay a member? I really don't know why, to be honest. A part of me does because I have met so many wonderful people here. Another part does because I have that small hope some other ectro. person will stumble across this site, too and I want to be here in case they should come with the same mindset I had.
