I need a baby boy

Published by

I am a 45-year-old successful business man with five lovely daughters. As the first born of my father, it is my desire to also have a son. I have read many medical journals on how to go about having a baby boy but I am not yet satisfied with what I have read. Kindly educate me. I don’t mind taking a second wife to achieve my objective.

As you should have discovered in your readings, it is the man who supplies the Y chromosome that determines that a child will be a male. Therefore, taking a second wife is not the solution to your quest for a baby boy since it is you and not your wife who will determine if your child will be a boy or a girl. With five lovely girls in your house, you should be satisfied with what God has given you most especially since girls these days can perform as well as boys or even at times perform better more than boys.
