I, myself, was born with a club foot. I had surgery at 6 months old to correct it. I never had to wear a brace. Yes, I do STILL have a surgery scar, but other than that, it did not affect my life AT ALL! I walk totally fine, none of my developmental milestones were late, I danced all through school, etc. It is TOTALLY reasonable to be upset about this. No one ever would have known if I didn't tell them. My mother considered it a tragedy when I was born like that. Anyone who judges you for feeling that way has obviously never been in this type of situation. When something like this happens, parents go through a kind of grieving process. In the end, you'll come out accepting the situation and realize that there are solutions and everything will be OK. Deep breaths. :)
