Mom of a "true hermaphrodite"

[chuzzlewit63]

Hi all.
Thanks for letting me join. My daughter, Sara, is 2 1/2 and an is a true hermaphrodite. She was born with one testicle and one ovatestis, a penis, a vagina, and a uterus. We adopted her 1 year ago, three months after the Department of Social Services decided to have her "made into a girl." She is the light of our lives.

We've decided she will know about her beginnings. Thinking about telling her she may feel a little of both but wondering if that is too confusing for a child.

Would love input. Any support groups for kids? She is too young now, but that day will come.

Thanks
Pam Crawford
