If this is true (probably not)… yeah, never mind, this isn’t true. No way.
Anon has an epic weekend

1/14000 chance a US citizen is a sibling incest baby, though I can’t locate the study at present. I don’t offhandedly know the percentage of babies given up to foster care, but If I had to guess based on foster care’s current numbers? 1-2%.
That’s a one in a million baby. An experience so rare that it’s less mentally taxing to even consider their circumstances as a human being. Even if it’s real, it’s fake until I meet them in person.

An incest baby would be much more likely to be put up for adoption though.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
I would think the percentage of children given up for adoption is higher in stigmatized circumstances, one of which would be incest.

I’d imagine there might be just a bit of under-reporting. People probably try to hide it.
I live near some polygamist colonies where they pretty… nested. And they definitely don’t talk to the government about it.

older siblings. or aunts and uncles. or parents who remembered changing diapers. one of my nephews, when he was 3 he liked to pretend he was a cat. then we discovered he liked to eat cat food. and we couldn’t keep him away from the kibble. we had to put it in the attic when he visited.

I read this as siblings adopting a kid, which is almost kinda wholesome? I mean if a brother and sister live together but aren’t romantically involved with one another (maybe, for whatever reason, they don’t need romance? Like they’re aroace or something? But they do love each other in another sense and figure being a couple works financially for them, even though they don’t sleep together or kiss or anything like that? I dunno, could happen I suppose, maybe, who knows anyway. But if it did, would there be a moral or ethical issue with them adopting? I think the issue is most prevalent if they’ve been together 7 years or more (or whatever per the area they’re in) and are considered to be common law married, even though there’s no sex or romance between them, they’re just building a household as sort of… a business venture? Like it’s economically viable to both of them to have a partner, but they don’t want sex or romance? I dunno. That’s where my brain went.

No its siblings who banged and had a kid and gave the kid away.

Yeah, I see… Guess I’m just an optimist. Like I said, that’s what I thought coming in.

Ah yes the genetic order you get after you’re born. Makes sense.

The sequence of events checks out to me, it’s just that he didn’t know he was an adopted incest baby until right then

Epigenetics are exactly that, things you are exposed to after birth which impact gene expression.
I’m not aware of any epigenetic disorders, as such, but the field of epigenetics is pretty new, so I wouldn’t rule it out entirely.

Smoking has known epigenetic effects

Can’t expect sound reasoning from an incest baby 4chan user.

I think this is a good idea. It should be a legal obligation of each State to make sure every child born and registered gets a genetic test as soon as possible.
This would ensure everyone is screened and warned of genetic diseases early.
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
There already is a blood spot test for rare but serious diseases that states do. It depends on the state though for a specific list of what gets tested.
