[adoptingourfirst]

We were just presented with a birthmom who is going to be induced on Monday morning. She is currently incarcerated. She is perfectly healthy and has had a healthy pregnancy. This is her 3rd baby. Her first is living with her dad and step-mom and her 2nd was born last July and she placed her for adoption with a family. They have turned down this baby because it is just too soon for another. The baby girl they have is absolutely adorable. Perfectly healthy and so is her other daughter. Our only reservation is that she tests positive for being a carrier of Cystic Fibrosis. Now, I do not know very much about CF so please, if you do, please fill me in. From what I can tell, the only time you have to be really concerned is if the bio father is also a carrier. Then you have a greater chance of actually having the disease. The problem for us, is that they have yet to find him. From what I've read it is higher in Caucasians (which she is) and less in Mexicans (which he is). Would you be concerned?
