[QUOTE="klmno, post: 370647, member: 3699"] I have a boy. I was asked by my dr half way thru my pregnancy (as soon as we knew it was a boy) if I wanted him circumsised. I asked why he needed to know so soon and he told me that he had to know a few months before the baby was born in order to get the paperwork that would make sure the appropriate person would arrive at the hospital upon difficult child's birth to perform it, should I choose to have it done. I have no idea what type of professional does them. I asked the dr his opinion and he said he was NOT going to give it to me. He just explained about it being a parent's choice, it is not medically necessary but pertains to religious beliefs, preference, beliefs about cleanliness, etc. Anyway, this is the ONLY decision I could get difficult child's father to make because I flat out refused to make it. LOL! It sounds like several things could have caused the ball to be dropped in this case- the dr didn't ask during the pregnancy, the parents maybe didn't know they were having a boy, the paperwork didn't go thru to have the prof at the hospital, the parents didn't get their decision back to the dr maybe thinking they had plenty of time to decide, etc. I also wonder if the parents changed their minds and don't want to admit it. (I don't know who they are or how well you know them.) If it was me and this happened with my son, I would let it go and not have it done at all but as Andy pointed out, that wasn't the nature of the post. [/QUOTE]
