I was reading on a blog that this couple received a referral of a child with blue eyes because they requested that (I guess both mother and father had blue eyes and wanted a child that would resemble that). I had never heard that agencies would honor such requests and was curious about it. Were you able to specify certain physical characteristics such as hair or eye color?

I can see how that may aid in the bonding period and I can also understand that our human nature is to want to have children that look like us. But I thought that when you open yourself up to adopt, it is understood that those things take second place to actually being able to just parent.

What is your experience with this and what are your opinions?

We are infertile and have just started researching adoption so please forgive me if this seems like an ignorant question.

Thanks.
