WHEN Julie Harvey was reunited with the child she gave up for
adoption, she expected to feel a rush of maternal love.
But the feelings she had were far more disturbing. She was deeply
sexually attracted to her own son… and, shockingly, he felt the same
way about her.
Now, 17 months after their reunion, handsome Jeff Anderson and
Julie are lovers. And in an even more jawdropping confession, the couple
have revealed they are desperately trying for a baby – and have even
saved up for IVF to make it happen.
“Our love is pure,” insists Julie, 45.
“I never raised Jeff. I had him when I was 16 and he was
adopted. We were reunited in 2011 and immediately fell for each
other.”
SOULMATE
Office manager Jeff, 29, explains he doesn’t think of Julie as
his mum, so sex between them isn’t wrong.
“Meeting my biological mother was like meeting my sexual
soulmate. I want to spend all my spare time with her. My adopted parents
were my real mum and dad. We don’t feel guilty about our behaviour.
It’s not incest, it’s Genetic Sexual Attraction and it’s
not our fault. We’re in love and refuse to apologise for
that.”
But the couple admit they live in fear of the laws against incest.
Julie, who says she has already miscarried one baby by her son,
says: “We have moved twice and plan to move again once I’m
pregnant.”
She is now taking fertility tablets to boost her chances.
“If they don’t work, we have PS20,000 for IVF, so we can
be a proper mummy and daddy,” she says.
“Anyone who criticises us and our desire to start a family is
uneducated. You can’t stop who you love and it’s our basic
human right to have children.”
In another bizarre twist, the couple have tracked down Julie’s
first true love and Jeff’s biological father – and amazingly he has
given them his blessing.
Julie explains: “Henry, or ‘H’ as I used to call
him, was my first boyfriend and took my virginity. He left when I got
pregnant but I found him because Jeff wanted to know him. We admitted we
were ‘husband and wife’ and told him about GSA.
“He was disgusted at first, but we begged him to listen. Then
he gave us his blessing. He said, ‘Life’s too
short’.”
Jeff adds: “Meeting my biological father helped me put the
puzzle together. I can’t forgive him for leaving Julie before I was
born, but I needed to know who he was. Now Julie and I are focused on
making a baby. In my eyes Julie is my ‘wife’ and after we have
a baby, we will have a commitment ceremony. I can’t wait to become
a daddy.”
Back in 1983 in San Jose, California, Julie had been dating Henry
for more than a year when found out she was pregnant.
“I was young and in love,” she recalls. “I
desperately wanted to keep the baby. Henry was wavering and he had
college to start. His parents sent him to Canada when I was three
months’ pregnant and he cut all contact. I was heartbroken. My
parents told me adoption was my only option.”
In January 1984, Julie gave birth to her son after a 14-hour
labour. Her parents had organised a private adoption and she suffered
severe post-natal depression.
But with the help of therapy she studied business administration at
college and settled in the New York suburbs.
“I had three longterm relationships but never recovered from
the loss of my child. His adopted parents sent me a picture of him. I
would constantly look at it, seeing how beautiful he was,” she
says.
Julie tried to find Jeff when she turned 20 but the adoption agency
refused to give her any information. Meanwhile, he was growing up in Las
Vegas, adopted by an older couple.
“I had a great life and knew I was adopted from the age of
10,” he says. “I was spoilt rotten and started looking for my
mother at 18.”
His adoptive mother died of lung cancer at 64 in 2008 and a year
later his father died of a heart attack at 72. At that point Jeff hired
a detective in 2009 to find his birth mother. In November 2011 there was
a breakthrough.
“He handed me a file with a name, address and photo, and I
knew instantly it was my biological mother. I already enjoyed dating
older women and I thought she was sexy. “
Rather than calling Julie, Jeff, who admits he is impulsive, jumped
on a plane and arrived on her doorstep that December. When she opened
the door, her life changed for ever.
“I instantly knew he was my son,” she says. “I was
shaking with emotion and I invited him in and we spent six hours
talking. I cried, I laughed, I just couldn’t believe what was
happening. My dream had come true.” The pair discovered they both
loved crime shows and spicy food, had similar shaped ears and smiled in
the same way. Both are allergic to nuts and cats.
At the end of his visit, after tearful Julie took Jeff to the
airport, they talked twice a day, emailed constantly and sent hundreds
of texts. A month later she flew to Las Vegas for two weeks.
TERRIFIED
“I couldn’t stop thinking about him and while I tried to
muster maternal feelings, all I felt was a rapidly growing attraction
towards this beautiful man. I was terrified to admit it.
“At that point I didn’t know about GSA. I felt my
feelings were incestuous but when Jeff started saying I was his special
lady, I was like a schoolgirl. Then after the butterflies, came
disgust.” Five days into the visit the pair ended up drunk and at
Jeff’s apartment after a night out. “It was 1am, we were
giggling and as we walked in, Jeff kissed me. Instead of being repelled,
I returned his kiss passionately. But after five minutes, I pulled away.
I’d never felt so sexually alive but at the same time disgusted
with myself,” says Julie.
“I explained I had lusted after him since we first met but
that it was a sin. Jeff explained about GSA and the next day I went to
see a therapist with him. He talked to me about GSA and warned it was
illegal to act on it.”
Jeff adds: “I was attracted to Julie since we first met and
after we left the therapist, I took her hand. We hardly spoke on the
drive home but you could have cut the air with the sexual tension.”
That night, the couple slept together for the first time. Three
weeks later Julie invited Jeff to move to New York State to live with
her. She told friends she’d met Jeff on a casino holiday to avoid
suspicion.
“They were all so jealous I’d found a sexy toy boy,”
she says. “We also became members of GSA forums and talked to other
GSA couples about their lives. Everything was and is perfect. Apart from
a baby.”
The next step for Jeff was to find his natural father, and the
couple tracked down Henry in May 2012. “It was a difficult
meeting,” recalls Julie.
“Jeff took my hand and announced we were dating. Henry was the
first person we told. Initially he said we were disgusting, but he
finally accepted it.”
She adds: “I knew Jeff wanted kids and I knew I wanted to give
him a child. When I said I’d do anything to give him a child he was
overjoyed.”
After losing one baby, they are determined to keep trying.
Despite knowing a child could be born with defects because of
interbreeding, risks, they insist they will make amazing parents and
plan to tell their son or daughter about their “unique
relationship” at the age of 14.
And Julie adds: “After we have our child I want to
‘marry’ my son. Then our life will be perfect.”
What is Genetic Sexual Attraction?
GENETIC Sexual Attraction (GSA) is when sexual feelings develop
between two family members who first meet as adults.
It can happen to siblings, half-siblings, parents and children,
usually when one has been abandoned, adopted or raised apart due to
divorce or separation.
In Ireland, sex with a parent, child, sibling, nephew, niece, uncle
or aunt is defined as incest and is illegal. In the US, rules vary and
the state of Rhode Island actually decriminalised incest in 1989.
The term GSA was coined in the US in the 1980s by Barbara Gonyo,
who founded a support group after her experience with the son she met 26
years after adoption.
