I cannot thank God enough for finding this message board and for all of you who have shared your stories. Like you Laurie I still deal daily with the mistake the doctors made when my daughter was born. They said she was a boy, too. Just today as I was blow drying my hair, out of the blue, I totally relived the whole thing and was in tears before I knew it. I have argued with my husband that I do not want to tell our daughter about it. Only our family and my two best friends know. I don't mind telling her about the surgery and that they had to do an ultra-sound and chromosome tests after she was born, but I am so worried about what she will think about being called a boy. I know it probley sounds really stupid, but it is something I am scared of. As far a social issues go we let Lauren go and do everything. She is only 2 1/2, but she went downtown at Christmas with friends and stays with family when my husband and I do romantic weekend getaways (still got to put the marriage first) and we will be gone for a week this coming month and she will be just fine. She wears alert bracelet and everyone knows to contact us immediately. I would prefer for her to be taken to hospital if anything requiring injection and we could not be there within 30 min. The bottom line is that you have to do what you are comfortable with and I know God will take care of my child. Does that mean things will go perfectly for the rest of her life or that He even intends for her to live a long life, I do not know. However, I do know that His will is perfect.
