We are going through Foster to adopt right now. ( we are waiting for our certification)
I understand how your husband feels . We would really like a girl. We are not going to say no to a boy because we truely want a child but we just seem to see ourselves with a girl. Sometimes their are no real reasons.
We were told that we could say what sex we wanted but there could be a longer wait.
In NY there are many babies that are in the foster care system.( that are also healthy) They are not in the books nor on line since they go directly to foster homes and the foster family has first rights to adopt after 1 year.
We also were looking at the pictures of kids on line and wondering where all the healthy kids and babies were. Once we looked into it more we found out that there were many but that we needed to become foster parents first and to be able to understand and handle the realities of that.
There are many different roads to take if you want to adopt. Good luck in what you pick and do lots of research a head of time.
