You should have already gotten at least 2 events in your game lost...(ornage boxes pop up, often with a choice you have to make)
There are numberous events with all sorts of outcomes.
Some of them (like the barrel of babies) will bring new villagers to your tribe.
You don't get to choose whether you get those events, or what gender the babies will be.
But it never hurts to hope for one.
