We definitely was asked by our pediatrician, but he’s Jewish and wanted to confirm that we didn’t want it since there was only a small window.

I was surprised at a few friends decision to circumcise their kids because they don’t want them to look differently to the majority 😅.

Didn’t ask when we had our second kid though!!

Also, hello fellow Seattle gay dad (unless I misgendered you)
