Irish woman carrying her father’s child claims they’re in love

This is beyond sick, especially since it was intentional and both knew what they were getting into. But it's a very real unintentional consequence of sealed adoption/birth records for adopted people (in Ireland and here in the US). Millions of people completely unaware of their origins run the risk of meeting and becoming genetically sexually attracted to a natural family relative. And just wait till all those sperm-donation children grow up and inadvertently meet up with their brother/sister. No excuse for these two...but welcome to the consequences of secrets and lies for the rest of us.

SICK, FU*KING SICK SICK

Ughhhhhhh!

Hey Georgie -suppose that curdexter got here this way?

really sad situation,he,s wrong though,no excuses,she always yearned for the father she never had,naturally,when she found hin instead of being a real father he,i don't know what he did,twisted a natural love into something unnatural,poor girl,she deserved better,he deserves a psychiatric evaluation.if you real loved a person or child you would not go down that road what ever you thought you felt.. .

Wow, I just threw up!

DISGUSTING, SICK, INSANE. Who do they think they are, the feckin royal family ???

Haha I say screw the law if it accepts their relationship. Burn these 2 sickos. Forget the law, this is common sense. What do you really expect from that man who didn't even see her daughter's face when she was born? What an animal! and the daughter is even the worst... She was that desperate that she had to look for her dad to screw her.

there are billions out there for both. dad and the daughter? NO! she has lost everyone and her need was to find her blood relative - not a lover. dad is dad. lover is lover.

I've heard of Carl Jung's 'Electra Complex' (a female variant of Freud's Oedipus Complex). All little girls and boys want sensuuously desire their parents. But there's a reason why their has always been a social taboo against incest. Inbreeding leads to genetic abnormality in offspring

If they view themselves as "victims" then they obviously know it is wrong. Aside from the risks of physical or mental defects of the baby, it is just morally wrong. In my estimation, they are thinking self concerned and completely disregarding the consequences to their child. If they are lucky enough to have a healthy baby, physically and mentally, the long term psychological effects to this child may not turn out as well. They can hide themselves and their child for just so long. At some point the child will have to be a part of the social system. What then?

It's a one in a million. If they move to the Blue Ridge Mountains there wouldn't be a problem. Quite a few Uncle/Dads in those hills.

This is just incredibly disturbing, on so many levels. How do they expect to explain this to the child, if indeed it is born "normal"? I think they both are insane...not to mention sinful as hell.

This couple knew that they were father and daughter when they entered into this relationship as lovers. They must have know that this is wrong and they did not consider what the results of this relationship could be. The possibility that this child could be developmentally disabled is very high. Even people who are cousins avoid getting married and having children. There is something very wrong about this situation.
