Whether to have a child or not

[Guest guest]

Mindy,

Is your husband a CF carrier? There is a one in four chance of your child

having CF---ONLY if you BOTH are carriers of a CF gene.

If you and hubby want your own flesh & blood, that is up to you. There are

soooo many children out there who need someone to love them. Adopting one of

them would be great, too!

Deciding which (or both) to do is not an easy choice to make.

You have found the right place to learn more about CF. There are some really

wonderful people on this list.

We all learn and share with eachother.

Welcome aboard!

It is not as easy to adopt as one might think. Also just because

you adopt does not mean you will parent a child without CF. We

adopted (infertility)but we just found out this May our son has CF.
