Ok - here is my 2 cents for what it is worth - and I could be TOTALLY wrong here - but here is one thought...
I think that because of most adoptive parents' struggle with infertility and then the long, tedious process of the adoption itself, many adoptive parents have a much more romanticized ideal of pregancy and childbirth than couples who say "get pregnant in first month" sort of thing. So - that "romantic" idea of raising a child is transferred into ribbons, bow, dresses...and maybe the idea that girls will be more cuddly and dependent than boys will. Remember this is just an idea - not saying everyone is like this or thinks this....
We are adopting internationally and want either boy or girl, IMHO they both have their challenges and rewards!
Interesting thread though....
