You just make me laugh. I thank you for sharing your life with us. One for the comic relief, and two, for just giving us some insight on what our daughters may face. I'm like Karen. That seems to be the first question that people ask, "How did you know your daughter had this?" My daughter was mistaken for a boy at birth. I still deal with the "aftermath". If I could have kept the ambiguious genitalia a secret it would of helped tremendously. But its hard to when that was the first thing asked after birth, "what is it?" The sad fact is that society is not an understanding place for a person with or had ambiguious genitalia. It took every ounce of courage in me to write my story down on this message board fearing some freek would read it, but I needed DESPERATELY to find support.I almost threw up after I sent the message fearing I did wrong. I see you have great respect for your mother. She seems to have raised a great young lady.Laura
