On my father's side there were almost no girls in the last four generations. The ratio is 10:1 (which is me). I once had a talk with my brother about the number of children we wanted. Then I remarked that according to tradition he'd probably have an all-boy family and he was like: "Shush!!! Be quiet! You are jinxing my chances!"So... there you have a guy who wants daugthers very much :)My best fri...

Hello ladies [:)]I need your help. My uncle already has two boys (4 and 6) and they are now expecting a third one. Apparently an oopsie-baby. Nobody seems to be thrilled about him and I know for a fact that they would love to have a girl. My brother also confessed that he is not that excited because our new cousin is not a girl.Although he is not born yet I feel sad for him. I am thrilled abo...

Hey there - I am 10 years older than your daughter but I remember exactly how I felt when I was that age. I also started obsessing over my body and once shouted that I was ugly and locked myself in my room (my mother must have felt like you did [:(] ) The worst thing was that I thought that didn't matter because of my body - that only perfect girls mattered.My body image became better once I start...

Horrible story... but she might change her mind. There was a lady on here who wanted to adopt her daughter out but after the baby was born she could no longer do it. In that case she will break the adoptive parents heart... I hope she makes a decision that is right for everyone.

Just wanted to update: They both have a family now! However, there are still so many waiting like Lisa and Mirabel.

She is absolutely precious. I really hope she finds someone who helps her fight against that horrible condition. Fortunately more people now consider adopting a child with HIV as the disease has become more manageable. I also have some favorites among the older children like Yasmine. She looks so cute and kindhearted. It is so sad that they have been abandoned or lost their parents in some other w...

I just wanted to bring this cute guy to your attention: http://reecesrainbow.org/38091/pashaIt happens so rarely that such a young child is listed in the "Other Angels" (not Down Syndrom) category! I hope he finds someone soon [hearts]

[quote user="Chellilovespuff"]I
have decided not to go through with an abortion. I have done the research and
listened to my heart, and have realized that I simply could not live with
myself if I terminated my pregnancy. [/quote] Hey again! I am so glad that you took time to reserach abortion and decided against. I also genuinely hope that you find a way to keep your little peanut [he...

I can assure you that I know quite a lot about adoption. It is actually one of my passions and I follow about 30 blogs of people who have either adopted or are themselves adopted. Please don't assume that I am uneducated or that I just repeat lies made up by the adoption industry. These blogs includes domestic, international, special needs, older child, foster care, open, closed and semi-ope...

First of all, I am so sorry that you are in such a dark place. [:(]I would like to point out that this baby is your child and your friends and family have no saying in his or her upbringing. Fullstop. Adoption is a reasonable and adult solution if you feel unable to provide for the child. Open adoptions are now much more common than closed adoptions - so you could still be a part of your childs li...

I found a documentary about unwanted girls in India on Youtube. In the last part you can see how a woman changes the mind about her baby girl [hearts] You can watch it here. Its really touching [:)]

First of all congratulations on your healthy baby! Please don't let society poison you with GD and darken your happiness about your precious first child! Your friend does not sound like a friend [:'(] Maybe you could ask her why she sounded so begrudging? Maybe she has secret GD and longs for girl and this is the way to protect herself. There is a lot of secret GD in this world - but al...

Yes there is no guarantee [:(] But the same applies for the PP mom's. They do have a boy and a girl but their families are still completely different.Are there any options to guarantee that you get a girl next time? (Usual suspects: HT and adption) Other people's GD definetely sucks. My grandmother had a gender desire for a daughter. She has three sons, three grandsons and one granddaug...

First of all congratulations on your baby [hearts]! I am sorry that you are struggling. It must feel really unfair. But I wanted to point out that you also get to experience something that the others will not experience: the bond of brotherhood between your sons [DS][DS][HH]You really must feel left out between all those PP moms but dont forget that you also experience something very sp...

Its sad for the women and girls but I also think it is sad for the boys (look at the picture of that boy who is chained to a lamppost!) Mothers of boys constantly have to worry that someone might kidnapp their sons. And young men don't find wives because of the lack of young women. I think its just sad for everyone involved [:(]

I don't think that people see the bond between sisters as more important. There is a majority of moms on here who have more than one boy and who want a girl/girls. So... I think in most cases the argument "I want to give my daughter a sister" just comes from the fact that there are already brothers in the family - and there is no longer a need to give a son a brother. And I also agree that it is a...

I think Theo, Gus, Carl and Pippa sound awesome [hearts] And Pippa is a really girly name in my opinion. I really like your unique style!

First of all: Congratulation on you baby! [hearts][hearts] I am sure that her big sisters already adore her [HR]On a different note: Have you ever considered adoption? I know it is not for everyone but there are many boys in the US (especially African American and biracial boys) who end up in the foster system as newborns because many adoptive parents prefer Caucasian girls. Very sad but stil...

Hey there [:)]I don't have kids yet but there are plenty of ladies on here who want a boy - so you are definitely not alone! That lady at the salon was just rude and ignorant. There is no such thing as "boymaker" and "girlmaker". Every man has X and Y sperm. The gender of the child is like flipping a coin - 50:50. Next time you could say something like: "If you really think that you obviousl...

First of all: Congratualation on your pregnancy!GD really sucks but keep it mind that your girl (if it turns out to be a girl) is not just any girl - she's your daughter! And in the first years of her life she will be more baby than girl. So there is plenty of time to bond! You could have gender neutral clothes and a gender neutral nursery. There is some much more than just pink and blue! Yo...

I agree that it is something "typical American" because it wouldn't happen in Germany either. There are generally few stereotypes about boys and girls and people really don't care whether you have boys/girls/both or whatever. People can however be judgemental when it comes to family size - so its not a perfect place either. Still it is astonishing just how rude people in the US can be when it come...
