Autobiography Qs

We've just signed up with an agency in Jersey and have just received some preliminary paperwork to work away on.

Both myself and my husband are CA and we have a 16 month old biological daughter already. We
hope to adopt a newborn full AA or mixed race baby boy.

One of the questions on the autobiography guide though we're a bit confused by and was wondering
if anyone here can shed some light on it.

The questions are:
Child Preferred
What type of child would you prefer? What types of things would you find unacceptable(consider medical, genetic concerns, physical, psychological characteristics, family history etc? Special concerns, issues etc?)

Now, since we have already signed up for the AA or mixed minority pool I know this is the answer to the first question(What typt of child). However on the remaining questions we're slightly unsure what exactly they mean. Let me just say that we would like a healthy newborn, but could someone possibly give us more of an in debt guideline as to what they could mean by (1)medical, (2)genetic, (3)physical, (4)psychological characteristics that would be acceptable/unacceptable and also (5)family history?

Thanks.
