I don't mind offering my opinion about practically any subject broached here. But here I'll defer. If she was my child, I'd bring in LOTS of professional reinforcements, and I'd listen carefully. You have my very best wishes.

Wow...just wow. Praying God will give you clarity of mind when it's time to make this decision. I have NO idea.

I STRONGLY do not suggest permanently without her input. And definitely not at 11. I see where your concerns are but can never see it from your perspective. Just think about it and pray before you make this decision. SHE needs to have a say in the decision.

I am really shocked that you found a doctor that would agree to this. I could not find a doctor that would for my son. So we started a private time program so my son would learn that there's a time and place.

This is wrong. Any doctor who would agree to do this to a child should loose their rights to practice.
