Thing is we don't have the map or the plans to what was meant to be - we probably never will so it can't be confirmed.
You have a chance to make a decision - informed or otherwise but you can only calculate the outcome. The cheat answer is that whatever you decide the universe or God already planned it that way but .. where is the free will there?
The multiverse is a great counter because God would see all multiverse timelines as they all happen at the same point & go on to exist but that just gets even more crazy & infinite. We simply can't understand it so we have to make the best of our situation - even if it goes against doctrine at times.
Look at the religions that won't take blood transfusions - I respect it if it's a decision for you but deciding on your childs behalf is something else.
