"I don't remember" doesn't count as a valid response, as I asked "Do you think"
Please only answer this question if you're willing to think and take this question seriously.

Your question is one of identity. You ask "did you ask to be born" but that brings up two things: one, is there a "soul" (for lack of a better term) with enough consciousness to ask to be born and, more specifically, that this soul with it's consciousness is somehow you (or us in this case). If I have some form of immortal soul that is disjoined from my experiences, my personality, and my own active consciousness, I do not believe it is appropriate for me to define that thing as "me." So necessarily, my answer is no, I did not ask to be born, so much that something may have asked to be born so that it could become me.

Yes, at least 3 to 4 thousand times. Then I threatened my guardian angel, Herman, with ripping his wings off.
After I super glued his halo to his saintly butt he agreed I was no longer needed in such a heavenly place and allowed me to be born. It has to be easy somewhere in the scheme of things.
I'll have to take another approach when I come back the next time. How did it work for you?

Having never asked to be born, why is all this **** our fault? ****** people who make others into scapegoats-- that generation is the scourge of the devil!-- are running a relay race around life, passing the baton to the runner-up. But ha! I don't want it, I don't want your compromised "wealth" your heart attacks and your grief. Get away from me with that thing. I will run my fist into your abdomen.

No I don't. That would suggest that perhaps I existed before. I would like to think I would have been smart enough to stay put.
I can see myself standing in line with a bunch of other dudes, and we'd all be listening to the intercom, "Soul 171148 please proceed to life pod AB for insertion into Sudanese Body Africa-5333-FE....Now please....Soul 171148 where are you....report to your station for insertion....." To which Soul 171149 would reply...he's running...and I'm not going either...I spent two lives in that part of the world...I'm due for somewhere temperate!!!"

NO! I think i'm born in the wrong family but as they say, sometimes you pick this family to teach you things and etc. Live or die with it but when you turn 18... your free as a bird, do whateva the hell ya want.

Yes , we all wanted to be born that's why we are here. The ones that didn't want to be born are in a different place.

My mom was pregnant with another child that she miscarried six weeks before she got pregnant with me. I honestly don't know if I asked to be born, but I wonder sometimes why I was.

Sure, and then you ask for cool clothes, and a nice car, a good job, and lots of money so you can rule the world.
But, really, I think our births are planned to happen when they do.

No. I am just a biological entity that happened to come about because my dad and mum wanted to have fun. Maybe the condom slipped or there was a hole in it....hmmmm.
