Comments Inside our American Girl Petition

I had to share one of my favorite old pictures of Jordan and her Bitty Baby.

Almost 5,000 signatures? Seriously? Our campaign is growing rapidly. I’m so proud to see so many people supporting the idea of offering a limb difference doll option at American Girl. We have yet to catch American Girl or Mattel’s attention. As I wrote at the start of this campaign, it’s going to take more than the not-quite 5,000 signatures gathered in the campaign that launched the new insulin pump accessory.

I launched this petition almost a week ago and the most amazing part is not the number of signatures we’re earning, it’s the comments: People who have a loved one with a limb difference, people who work with the special needs communities and some people who just care about the mainstream world looking more “real” than what we see in stores.

It’s really special. If you’re curious, you can read all of the comments on the Change.org petition. But here are some of my favorite:
