A 28-year-old woman who tracked down her long-lost father last year has revealed that she is pregnant with his baby.
Penny Lawrence went in search of her
father Gerry Ryan following the death of her mother and grandparents.
The Irish Sun reports that she eventually found Dublin-born Ryan in
Houston, Texas.
After meeting, the pair embarked on a
s/xual relationship which resulted in Lawrence becoming pregnant.
However, they have insisted that their attraction is the result of
Genetic S/xual Attraction, a term previously created by Barbara Gonyo to
describe the feelings between parents and their children – as well as
siblings – who meet as adult
“We are not committing any crime, but
are victims of GSA,” Lawrence told the paper. “We’ve never experienced a
father-daughter relationship, so we’re just like any other strangers
who meet in adulthood.”
Ryan expressed fears that laws could see
the couple separated, but added: “It’s no different than if I met Penny
in a bar. I’d have fallen for her as I have now. It doesn’t feel like
we are doing anything wrong.”
The pair said that if the three-month
scan of their baby shows no birth defects, they will remain together and
raise the child. Discussing GSA, Lawrence explained: “I did some
research into it. I was stunned that some brothers and sisters,
daughters and dads and mothers and sons were actually living happily as
man and wife.”
However, her father pointed out: “GSA isn’t recognized in court.”
