Angel, you asked a while back what I meant by us choosing our lives... I'll try to explain how I see it.
We are not just the physical forms that we can see with our eyes. There is a part of us that lives beyond our physical reality, our soul, our consciousness. It is always connected to the non physical realm and goes back to that realm after our physical form dies. I'm going to call it, for the sake of this discussion, the energetic realm, although I'm not sure that truly captures what it represents.
So after we die physically, our consciousness goes back to the energetic realm to look back at the life just lived. Each life is specifically laid out in order for us to learn the lessons we need to learn in that life. We cross over and analyse that which we learned, didn't learn, experienced, etc. and plan our next life according to what we missed, what our next "step" in evolution is, etc. The ultimate goal of every soul or consciousness is to evolve into a state of awareness or enlightenment. So, if we learn our lessons in one life, we can move onto the next step, one step closer to enlightenment.
This is how some people explain the idea of karma. We live one life as a "perpatrator" of some kind, then the next life we need the alternate perspective so we choose a life as a "victim" in one form or another. Or we can choose to die at birth, be miscarried, die early on in life because whatever we need to learn can be achieved in that short time.
If we can keep this in perspective with some sort of knowledge of how many lives each soul or consciousness lives, one life is, in really the blink of an eye in the big picture.
So before we come back to the physical form for another "go round" we choose our parents, our location, our siblings, and some circumstances about our life to best support that which we come here to do in that particular life. We can also choose a life of "unknown". For example, being born to a mother who is more likely to give us up for adoption, therefore a life of "unknown", not knowing who our parents are going to be or what our life is going to be like. The possibilities are endless.
There is one thing that at least most souls know before they enter this realm and that is when they are going to do. So if our parents die at a young age, we knew that as well before we coming here, part of what we need to learn.
The other thing is that once we get here we can change our "path" along the way if need be. Our consciousness or soul stays connected to the energetic realm throughout our lives, where the higher understanding or state of awareness exists, so we are in constant "counsel" regarding our "path" and the circumstances in our life that supports or doesn't support our planned lessons.
That's how I see it.
