In my opinion, I believe that it is wrong for parents to choose the gender of their children.

I believe that it is in direct rebellion to the sovereignty of God and His divine will and purpose for every person born on the earth.

I am reminded of what Genesis 6:5 says, "Then the LORD saw the the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

I remember when I was pregnant with my son, it was my desire to have another daughter, but it was the will of God to give birth to a son.

It saddens me to know that there are people who are trying to choose the gender of their children and rejecting God's will!
