Stephanie, Congratulations on the adoption of your daughter and welcome to the board. Did you know your daughter had CAH at the time of adoption? My daughter Olivia (3) was adopted at the age of 7-months. It was not known that she had CAH. I can't answer many of your questions. But I'll try on some. Moon face (kind of like puffy cheeks) is an indication of too much Cortef (or over-supression). You don't want this. Kidney problems -- this is an interesting question. I look forward to any answers. My understanding is that the number of CAH girls that are lesbians is the same as in the "normal" population. CAH has no effect. Parent support group -- If I lived in LA, I would help your form one. You might contact MAGIC (www.magicfoundation.org). They have a networking program that is very extensive. Janet
