As for no two channelers ever mating, that's just not true. Admittedly we now nothing about the results of such children But in Shara male channelers are kept alive long enough to impregnate a female channelers, told by a forsaken and in "The world of Wheel of Time".
And such fornifications most assuredly happens at the "Isle of madmen".
Let me share my theory with you... though some of you may find it boring in comparison:
1. Avi is and has been pregnant since Rand chased her through the Gateway to Seanchan. Were they warmed each other lovingly.
It has been hinted once or twice that a channeler can postpone her pregnancy.
2. Thus She was pregnant as she was united in the bond with Rand and the other women, not only Min and Elayne but also Alanna which in turn explains the different physical differences as many believe with me is a risk of being pregnant and bonding, getting traits from the others in the bond.
3. Why are the children (almost) born with the ability to channel? I say its due to the extent of the postponed pregnancy, with everything that has happened to Avi during the time since getting pregnant and the fact of postponing it for so long itself. I'm guessing postponing pregnancy via "channeling/will of a channeler" has a time limit (based on strength in the OP) and easily can lead to miscarriage. This too long pregnancy has effected the childrens genetics and ability/affinity with the one power... let's face it Avi uses her power almost beyond her abilities as soon as she deems it fitting which is more often than not also affecting the alongated pregnancy.
Ooops, the post became a bit longer than intended. But hopefully it's interesting and not diregarded at first glance... I might have forgotten some piece of info that cracks my theory, haven't re-read the books in a while.
