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.
Ah yes the genetic order you get after you're born. Makes sense.
Can't expect sound reasoning from an incest baby 4chan user.
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
Fireplace ash. Who on earth told them that haha
If this is true (probably not)... yeah, never mind, this isn't true. No way.
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 not worthwhile for most people to ever consider their circumstances as a human being. Even if it’s real, it’s fake until I meet them in person. But if I do, I’ll listen with care.
An incest baby would be much more likely to be put up for adoption though.
Or killed to hide the evidence of a crime. I’m not going to assign figures for either, the average is fine enough for what I needed. If someone wants to get exact numbers, they’re welcome to that madhouse.
According to the figures cited by Wikipedia somewhere between 6% and 26%, maybe, but the latter is real hinky and relies on a study that I can’t even find named or specified as peer reviewed or not (great signs!) in a book that is specifically anti-abortion.
The 6% number is from a real peer reviewed study, though. And apparently the non-rape adoption rate is around 1%.

If it's a one in a million baby there would still be around 300 of them in the US.
The chance that some lifeless fella sitting on an office chair, wearing bicycle shorts and rubbing the outline of their pud through the fabric instead wrote this is far higher.
And I could be off by an order of magnitude, given my lack of familiarity with baby abandonment. 3000-30 feels like a safe spread
Well.... it's half past 6 in the morning....and I think that's enough internet for today.....
I would think the percentage of children given up for adoption is higher in stigmatized circumstances, one of which would be incest.
