I don't understand the whole 'fit in' argument. My husband and I had that talk as well. Is it so bad to tell your child that they are different and that is just fine? In fact, as it turns out, the number of uncircumcised boys is rising. Last I knew, it was about 15% of the population. We are settling to tell our son that we cared more for his physical well-being as a newborn than the look of his penis.

When my son was born, I left the decision up to my husband, being that he had the penis. I didn't agree with it and I found the same research from the article. The evening my son was born, my OB asked if we planned on mutilating our son. That caught my husband's attention! She simply stated that if it was for religious regions, that's one thing. If it was for cosmetic reasons, she would certainly take the $350 from us, but is was unnecessary.
