i'm an 18 year old female with cah. my parents chose for me to have the surgery for me when i was a child. i needed 3 surgerys total. one when i was a new born, another when i was 3 and the last when i was 14. for my parents the decision wasn't a simple one but i respect that they chose for me to have it done when i was young. i don't remember ever being really aware of the possibility of looking different. my parents taught me to embrace my individuality. i would agree with Cherry. children can be cruel, no matter how normal or different you are. and anything you do for your daughter is for her best interest. i'm sure you had your reasons for making your decision. i do not think there is a "right choice" written down anywhere. you can only do what you feel is right, only you know what this really is. i don't think your daughter will have too much trouble as i assume she won't be in display for anyone for some time yet. treat her as she is, i'm sure a sweet little girl. my parents never made me feel different and i never was.
