Is not circumcision pretty routine here in the US? Two of my children were immediately given circumcision. My oldest was not because he was premature and there were more important issues. But I do not recall being asked my opinion on the other two.

Yes, it is more or less 'routine' - that is, unless you specifically tell the hospital, and your wife's doctor that you absolutely do not want circumcision.

I did that with my son with the knowledge that he could be circumcised by his own volition at a later time in life.

He has often told me since reaching adulthood that he is very grateful that I did not have him circumcised, for many reasons.
