Can an Adult get cystic fibrosis?

From what I understand there is no such thing as Adult Onset Cystic Fibrosis. CF is a hereditary genetic disease that you are born with. That said, there are rare cases of people with symptoms so mild they were not diagnosed until there 30s-60s. Sometimes these people have had prior medical problems but their doctors didn't check for CF because of their age. It is often so debilitating that children are diagnosed within the first few days of life. I am not an expert, I am just looking for research because I was told to go in for a test today (at age 33). The hospital couldn't even administer the test in the normal lab, I need to go to the children's hospital. I am just now reading http://www.cff.org/ it has more official information.
