I have one bio-DD and never had been around little boys. So, when it came to adoption DH and I asked for a girl, because that's what I/we knew how to raise. We were matched with a little boy and took him without thinking twice about his gender.
Our second adoption we asked for a girl, because we thought it would be nice to have one of each. Again, we were matched with a little boy and again, when it came to accepting the match, the gender issue didn't even come up.
We are on the waiting list to adopt our third child.
I would love to have a little girl, just to be able to buy little dresses and hair-clips etc.
Our luck she would be the worst tom-boy in the neighborhood and wouldn't be caught dead wearing a dress.
We love our two little bandits and are totally convinced that they are the most awesome kids in the whole world..
But, isn't that so for every parent?
