Don't be embarrassed. It's the way you feel and it makes sense.
I thought I wanted a little girl "looked just like me". As the waiting months grew into years, I realized that I just wanted a little girl. I am tall, with blonde hair, fair skin and blue eyes and my daughter is from Central Asia. It's been wonderful! So...you may or may not feel this way throughout your adoption journey. That said, there are agencies that will try to match you with the child you want - even if you have to be "vague" on the paperwork, they will try. Depends on the agency! Best of luck!
