Brotherly love

[Gob]

A young couple have revealed how they fell in love after meeting at a nightclub, moved in together, had a child – and then discovered they were, in fact, half-brother and sister.

The extraordinary discovery was confirmed by DNA testing just last month. It has left the couple stunned and shaken – but they are nonetheless vowing to stay together and have more children.

They both blame the legal system which prevented the young man from being told his true identity. He only discovered who he really was long after he and his half-sister had got together and had the child.

Aged in their 20s and living in Leinster, they have decided to speak out in a bid to help others who might find themselves in a similar situation.

Now I understand their issue with wanting to stay together despite the fact they are half-brother and sister, but surely considering having more children is a risk not worth taking?

Yep, that's what I was thinking...

Seems to me in my dim distorted and fractured memory, I've read other stories such as this.

Maybe they were attracted to each other because they were related, yet were unaware?
