I have emailed Discovery but to date have not heard anything aside from a note saying they forwarded my letter to the right people. I haven't yet called, but will try to make a point to do that. I agree that 20/20 years ago, did a much better job. Not to toot my own horn, but ok, I do like to brag a bit, but Amanda and I were on that 20/20 episode back in 1995. I did much soul searching whether to do it or not, but being assured from them and knowing the question that they asked that they would indeed expand to discuss the medical concerns of the CAH child, I decided that it was much more important to make people aware that this condition could be fatal, and the quote that they said on the episode was "The life and death issues that can face these children daily is far more important to parents than the ambiguity of their genitals at birth" was a good statement. (it was something to that affect) It enrages me that these Intersex groups sensationalize the genetalia of these children, and it might some day cause my daughter embarrassement and to question her identity. They really need to focus on the health issues of CAH. These children are females through and through. Eileen
