Reply #41: My wife & I did the same, but came to the opposite conclusion.

[Warren DeMontague]

When it came down to it, in the hospital, we both sort of had an epiphany that, if the decision was making us so miserable, maybe there was a good reason we didn't want our kid cut.

And we haven't regretted it since, either.

But I agree, individual parents need to make the call- I don't know how else you could handle it, because the practice is not going away any time soon. (Both my family and my wife's family are Jewish).. We have enough unenforceable laws on the books as it is. I happen to think we made the right decision, but everyone has to follow their own path, and your mileage may vary.
