        Target was probably the first to do this in a public manner as they mailed coupons to a 16 year old girl. Her father took her down there and yelled at the manager about sending his daughter inappropriate mail. That's when she told him. :/ Helluva story

        This info is typically based off of user-provided information by creating a child profile widget or by creating a baby registry. Either way - congratulations!!!
