Sammygirly,

First, thanks for your candor. It's great to hear a mom's take on this issue. Making such a crucial decision isn't clear sometimes is it? -- when your "preference" may not necessarily be the correct answer or what's in the long-term best interest for the child...(serious) health issues aside of course.

More and more often, it appears that "routine" circumcison is something that can indeed be delayed until much later in life

I was cut as an infant; but I don't blame my parents.
More than likely, your son won't either.

But, I certainly would have preferred to have made that all-important decision for myself when I was an adult.

Thanks again, for sharing.
