For those parents-to-be who want a baby boy or baby girl, there is a new method to determine whether you are more likely to have a boy or a girl. Scientist from Newcastle University found that men were more likely to have sons if they had more brothers and vice versa if they had more sisters.</SIZE>[/FONT]

Here is the info on the study</SIZE>[/FONT]

This doesn't mean that it is 100% accurate, but it is statistically significant and it shows some correlation between genetics and baby gender.</SIZE>[/FONT]

You guys crack me up. You are trying to figure out the sex, eye color, blah blah blah. What happened to some mystery in life? ;)

lol I think that's a bunch of crap. You really never know. Anyway it has more to do with the atmosphere of the uterus. Something about acidic or alkelinik (sp?) or whatever because one sperm gender survives better in acidic and the other survives better in alkelinik so it's just however it is at the time. Or that's what I've read, anyway. Maybe it depends on what you eat. :p

We're actually talking about adoption but that's beside the point.
That's actually wonderful, and really I was only playing! :p My Aunt has nine kids, some from her belly and the rest from adoption and she and my uncle are two of the best parents I've ever met in my life. Any kid ending up with them should consider themselves blessed.

And you know that's so awesome of you! You could really change a kid's life like that, I should know. I'm thankful for foster homes and adoptive parents every day. &lt;3333 :)
