When Eric and Stephani Lohman's daughter was born, they found themselves thrust into a situation for which they were not prepared. Rosie was born with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), which is an intersex condition. Intersex refers to a variety of conditions that produce physical characteristics that do not fit neatly into traditional conceptions of male and female bodies. Eric and Stephani join us to discuss the condition and their part memoir, part guidebook "Raising Rosie".

Eric and Stephani have a book talk and signing at Boswell Book Company on Friday, July 27 at 7pm. For more information from Advocates for Intersex Youth, visit interACTadvocates.org.
