I'm going to go with what JustJess said: consult with doctors, run tests on genetics, hormone levels and receptivity, and so forth, and make a decision. But I would not wait until the kid reaches maturity to have the surgeons do something. I think that would end up creating massive confusion for the kid, much more so that potentially making the wrong choice. I think I make an informed choice for the sake of the kid's childhood, and if it turns out later that I chose wrong, then I say my mea culpas, and support the kid through gender reassignment surgery again.
