[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP: I've lived overseas and I know how it can feel that you want to come back to the USA for things that feel more "normal" in regards to your children.  I had a daughter, but if I had a son, we probably would have chosen to cir. him.  At least I think we would have.  I'm not sure.

That being said, I really would suggest NOT flying back.  It sounds like it would be a BIG stress on your family.  And, once you get back, you'll still have to find someone to do the "snip" so to speak.  My suggestion is to reach out to someone in the Jewish or Muslem community first and let them know that you are very concerned about the health risks according to non-cir. and would they be willing to do the proceedure.  If not, I would ask them if THEY would recommend a doctor that they trust that they have worked with.  I know that in RARE (very rare) instances when a religous cir. has gone wrong for whatever reason, they will refer the baby to a doctor for further work up.  Which means they will have someone that they trust to work with.

Good luck![/quote]
