My son whom most of you know has autism came up to me and his father today and said
"Mummy before I came here I chose you and Daddy"

I'm floored.....he asked if I remembered choosing him but I said no I dont but did ask if her remembered anything else and he said "No, I just chose you and Dad"

Wow it just puts me so much closer to the belief that we choose our parents before we come here so that they can help us live out a path we hope to live by to learn things we may not have in previous lives.

I am really, really interested now in hearing anything that some of your children may have said to indicate their 'life' before life!!!

Gee I just love my kids.....

That brings more evidence on the theory that children choose their parents before they come here.  I read some where that children also choose their names before deciding where they will go and whisper them in our ears while we are sleeping.

At the moment mine knows how to say bicky, mum, and dad but is trying other words.  Actually I swear he said Bridget the other day when I was playing our game of where is Bridget.  (He pulls up my shirt and pats my enormous stomach very gently)

I knew my son in this lifetime as someone else. A really good friend who died unexpectedly and at the age of 18.  He gave me a call the night he died asking for help. I had messages in my head believing they were about me, not realizing they were him talking telepathically to me at the same time. I was completely distressed for not helping him when I should have.  
When I first met this person I received a message from heaven or my higher self letting me know he would be my son and dismissed it thinking my mind was playing games on me. This thought never left me though. Sure enough to my knowledge he is my eldest son who is now about to turn 5. So yes we all choose who we want to be our parents and how our life will be before we are born, sometimes before we reach Heaven in between lives. Although how we live our lives is up to us and the people around it. It was extremely hard for me to imagine the two of them at the same time so now I concentrate on my son who I have now and fond and happy thoughts of my friend - his past life.
He hasn't said anything to me as yet. His choice in some music is enough to know where he has been before.

Flight of angelwings,

We choose the circumstances we would like to be born in and it is always to learn some lessons. We forget when we are born that it was our choosing that got us where we are. We bicker and rant that some of our relationships are not smooth especially when we were born to learn the very lesson of compormise  

I have read this several times before that kids on rare occasions talk about their past lives  and your post confirms this. THANKS!!

My daughter of 3 has said many times, when I was all grown up I had a red car. She has told me of a car accident in the red car. As she gets older she seems to talk about it less and less- I try and play games with her to get her to talk about it again, but being 3 she has the attention span of a gnat. This forum just confirmed my thoughts on this. I am so glad I found this site...Thank you all for welcoming me. I need everyone here very badly right now.
