Really?!

When I opened my browser this morning I was taken aback by an article that accosted my senses.

You can read the article HERE.

My stomach began turning into knots while reading about the multi-million dollar industry of choosing to have a child of a specific gender. Is my reaction heightened because of my struggle to become a mother? I don't know. But being mad and crying because you found out you are having a baby that is not a girl bothers me greatly! Those who become pregnant should be thankful that they are able to have children, it should not matter what gender they are. If this little baby girl that you choose to have decides she does not want to paint her nails and wear dresses but rather would like to play sports -- what then? Are you going to reject her because she is not fitting into her "role" in your life?

unfortunately, this is available in the middle east (with money, anything is available) and even heard someone talking about it because they want to insure they have a boy because they already have two girls. :(
