If it's REALLY important to you, don't compromise... whatever the "request". Appearance, health, gender, age... or anything else.
DH and I wanted a healthy newborn initially, and were open to race and gender. Later, we actually narrowed our racial criteria, because we decided we did want to adopt an African-American baby. We are both Caucasian. Yes, we do get the eyeball from a lot of people at stores and the like, but I can't imagine life without my daughter.
You can see a picture of her below. She doesn't look a thing like us, but I couldn't be more in love.
