It is a bit creepy. My husband won’t ever talk about it. I guess me teasing him about it doesn’t help matters. I have asked MANY times on this board if any one else was told the same thing and have got no reply. Either some people are too creeped out about talking about it or I just had a rare experience. It was from a genetic counselor at Children’s Hospital of Akron in Ohio. That was over 9 years ago. I will never ever forget the doctor sitting me down in this conference room. They had another woman in the room with him. He calmly told me the odds and every other thing we have read about the genetics of CAH. I asked him how this all really happened and then he told us that it was because we were related closer than most. He was most uncomfortable saying it especially when I busted laughing and said, you mean we yall’ are related? He didn’t find my sense of humore funny at all. But what else could I do but laugh? That is when he said, "Well we are all related in some large way. It is just some are closer related than others." The doc. held a straight face over my nervous laughter. It was just so odd. I assume the woman was in the room in case I freaked out. I don’t know. I guess if you dig deep enough, the world is a small place. I had a grandfather that was adopted as a young man. Who knows where he came from because his records were burned in a fire. So you just never know how closely related you can be in this world. I mean look at the odds of having a child with CAH. Pretty amazing, so if you factor in meeting someone you are some how related to, those odds seem to pan out just about equally. I wouldn’t wig out too much about it. I don’t think it could be that close. I think I may be the only one that was told this. This guy may be wrong, who knows. Whatever the case is, we created a beautiful daughter.Laura
