I didn't know that fact either, but Kylie thank your lucky stars. lol

lol glad i could explain! i thought people would know we arent greatly involved in religion? maybe we our ways arent well known to the rest of the world. perhaps the US needs to adopt some tacky aussie soapies.. actually, dont.

We just found out today that our fifteen month old grandaughter has CF. Our daughter is pregnant with her second child, which is due in March. She and her husband are so scared. I know that if they had known that there first child had this they would not have gotten pregnant again so soon. It is so scary.

Hello I just wanted to tell you I to am struggling with the decision to have another child. I have a 4 yr. old wo/cf and a 6 m. old w/cf and originally we wanted 4 kids. My husband wants to have more but I am not sure. I feel like now that I know the risk involved that it is a selfish act on my part to have another child just because I want one. I look at it like this I would not do anything that I thought would hurt or kill my 4 yr. old son wo/cf so why should I risk having another child that I might give a life threating disease. And then that child might be angry at me because I knew that I could give them this disease. It is a very hard decision and I wish you the best with it. I really would like to adopt a child because I want to 6m. old daughter w/cf to see that an adopted child is just as wonderful as having one of your own, just in case she might not have a chance to have her own child.

This is an incredibly difficult decision. I think, ultimately, it is completely between you, your spouse, and God. Would I prevent having my son if someone told me he'd have cf? Never. He has had a very full life and gives us so much joy. My husband and I are not prepared to make this decision just yet. Although it would be ideal to have IVF if we have another child, we cannot necessarily afford the procedure...and there are no guarantees with this either (no cf of course...but there can always be other complications). I really do see both sides. I believe there are situations when either decision is completely justified and right. Good luck to everyone.
