Edgar Cayce made a strong case by insisting that we choose our families, our parents, and even make agreements, where possible, to choose our spouses and children. This is not to infer that changes in plans will not occur, but we should be aware of the vast amount of planning that is done before our earthly incarnation.
When we are making most of our plans and agreements for our next incarnation, we do not have physical details before us. Instead we have before us relationships to others, to situations, and to those forces which have prepared us.
What are your thoughts? Were your born as the result of random gene-combinations or did you choose parents based upon the lessons you needed to learn? Do you remember your previous existence in Spirit and choosing parents?

Hello there. My name is Paul. I am 48 years old. I was happy to find a site for this specific topic and more. I will get right into it…I remember having a choice who I wanted as my father before entering this world. I got to choose from 3 men. As soon as I could talk I told my father about this vivid experience. At first, he thought I was pulling his leg, but as time went on we continued to talk this over. As he got older, his views changed and became more openminded. I shared this with my close friends only. Well, to make a long story short the people I have shared this with stand by me. Without a doubt, this has been imprinted in my memory.

Paul,
Thank you. It is undeniable that adults like yourself carry these memories as well as children worldwide.
Blessings,
Elizabeth

I am open minded person but I am still having hard time to grasp why in the world I would pick folks who are so damaged. I thought first it was for my patience, then I Underwood for a lesson and how to cope with problem and pain but now I simply see it as poor decision if it was mine. I try to give good points like having a DnA or getting myself out of their mental trap and prison but still I don’t see how is it necessary for me when I was already born as a solid human being and I knew most of things already from very young age by observing people around me. It’s not clear how and why we like to agree on the fact that we were the one who chose our family. What if it wasn’t our decision.

Hello,
I don’t share this with anyone. I’ve only told two people including my fiancé. I chose my Mom. My Dad was there too but standing behind my Mom. I always knew that they would split up one day because of this memory. I was walking down a bright hallway with an old man. The people standing were spoke statues staring straight ahead. I saw my Mom and thought she was so pretty with her bright green eyes. I could feel her kindness. I stopped and looked at the man, he nodded and that’s the last thing I remember. I was revisited by this memory as a young girl playing on the living room floor when I looked up and saw a photo of my Mom and Dad holding my older sister. The memory overwhelmed me. I’ve never told my Mom.

I was completely lost when my aunt (my mother’s younger sister) expired on February 2019 due to serious illness. I have always adored her since she has raised right from the time I was a toddler of 4 months, my Aunt was more like my own mother to me because she has upbringing till I was fully grown up until my marriage. I have spent my childhood times till my adult hood with my Aunt and I felt more like I was her very own son. But unfortunately immediately after I have entered my marriage she started to fall ill and as time goes by she could not defeat the illness and she died ultimately in the same year before my daughter could be born. Yes my daughter was born on the same year that is June 2019 right after my Aunt died 3 months prior (February 2019).
Just right after my Aunt died, I was completely shocked and dropped down, I can never be happy again, I was lost because she is my dearest Aunt- like-mother. I often visit her grave yard and I prayed that she should come back to earth again. But after 3 months of her demise, my daughter was born, so I really felt like my Aunt came back through my daughter, so I named my daughter the same name of my Aunt. Yes, my daughter would have the essence and presence of my Aunt only I really felt so.
So, could you please deliver me answer of this whole thing I have narrated, was it a reincarnation?

My mother was an abusive monster. I can’t fathom why I would choose her and the ensuing trauma and complex PTSD. There must be reasons on the other side we don’t understand here

I also have had a abusive mother and ended up living in care resulting in more abuse and still at 51 suffer ptsd from the experiences, I agree with your point.

I wholeheartedly believe I chose my parents and life-path before birth. I remember being with another soul and us having to decide who got which set of 2 parents presented to us. We both knew we’d be females in this lifetime. 1 path would be with a loving, wealthy African American family. I chose the path with the poor white broken family because my soul needed the challenge of overcoming hardships. I guess my previous lives had been “too easy”?? My soul is content with the challenges I’ve faced in this lifetime though growing up with drug & alcohol addicted parents, overcoming poverty and battling financial hardships have been hard lessons, I feel like it’s been worth it.
Fun fact. The other soul that was with me and chose the wealthy African American is a female athlete in this lifetime, I can feel it.

Do you have scientific proof that you chose your parents?
Feb 16, 2023 @ 02:19:49
My experience was like this too… I’ve been looking for someone who remembers this too for so long
Feb 20, 2022 @ 06:06:45
I remember looking down on earth and seeing choices I had a strong higher being asking me if I’ve mad my choice and a feeling of disappointment. I remember thinking in my head like I do now same voice in my head. I feel like I chose almost at random compared to how much time I had to choose. I feel like time wasn’t measured but I felt rushed to come back and do things right. I was scanning thru like a portal at woman having birth I saw my parents gaze at each other looking strong beautiful and happy. I looked no further and picked them. I remember nothing before or after until a young age near 4

My question to everyone in this forum is, “where is the scientific proof” that we get to choose our parents?” I did not find that statement anywhere in the Bible, so I can safely say that choosing your own parents is not Biblical.
Sep 21, 2022 @ 20:18:54
Krystle, how can you be sure that you chose your parents? Do you have any proof at all? I believe God chose our parents before we were born.
AND WHOEVER KEEPS DELETING MY REPLIES, YOU CAN AT LEAST TELL ME WHY THEY WERE. Nothing I have said is appropriate.
Thank you,
Marcela

Correction: I meant to say “inappropriate” in my last sentence.
Sep 26, 2022 @ 01:10:16
I agree with you, Sophi. Both of my parents were pretty damaged souls so why would I choose them as my parents. Also, how does anyone know for sure that we supposedly chose our parents. How? Where is the proof? Christians believe that God chose our families for us. So which is it? Or how about our parents chose us by simply creating us through conception?
I hope my comment does not get deleted. I don’t know who reads them and decides what stays or what is deleted.

I had a vivid dream in first weeks of pregnancy, a man told me to go into the water, like a swimming pool. He said to me your child will choose you!
I said how will I no? You will no trust me.
I saw loads of children all different ages, I saw a beautiful little boy sitting smiling at me, my first thought was how beautiful he was, instantly I knew he couldn’t be mine, he was to beautiful, I walked on into deep water past many children, bang that beautiful boy was back, smiling at me, he followed me everywhere until I understood, he was the one.
When my son was born, as he got older he looked exactly like how I saw him in my dream.

Actually. I have a question. I am wondering if my son made a choice and when it came time to be born he changed his mind in the womb. I say this because it was a difficult birth and when I was first presented with him I felt nothing as if he knew I was the wrong choice. We have had a on and off again relationship all 47 years. Anyone?
