The CF Trust have tweeted a family tree to explain how the condition is inherited. Someone (be it them or the people they've been working with at EE) are poor when it comes to the details. They claim that Jimbo Wicks died in the 1990's, but he actually died in April 2001. Carly and Dean were in a car crash on the 5th anniversary, as Dean had been behaving erratically and was driving as such.
Doesn't exactly encourage optimism.

I believe in giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, but considering Jade's foster dad was willing to take money to let a stranger in and take Jade's hair instead of going through the official channels... it doesn't inspire confidence, does it? Then again, they are only asking for some hair, not blood or anything, and it looks like the guy could use the cash.
CF is genetic, which means anyone in the same family is possible of getting the disease. The percentage rate of catching it gets slimmer with each generation, but even if no one catches it in a few generations there's always still a chance. Genetics are funny that way.
At least because they wanted to introduce the child into the show, they thought to write the story so that she'd only been fostered rather than adopted. The story they concocted to get Rebecca back after her adoption was ridiculous.
Re: Jade's shady and single-looking foster dad, are we supposed to think that because the child is CF, there wasn't a queue of people willing to take her on? Life expectancy is reduced after all so the families may well be setting themselves up for heartbreak. It's always possible I suppose that his partner has either left or died and he hasn't informed the authorities as he fears he would be deemed unsuitable to continue to care for Jade. In this case the household is presumably an income down also.
These things should be spelt out on screen instead of us having to assume them.
