I assume that requires us to locate a birth mother and have our own adoption attorney draw up everything?

It really depends on the attorney. Some will match you while you wait with a pool of other adoptive parents and others won't.

Also, how much would we expect to spend? We know it will be steep.

It really depends on the situation. If the birth mom has high medical costs that your insurance won't cover then its going to be expensive. but most private adoptions cost between 10K-20K

I would LOVE to hear success stories about private adoption where the family gender selected (or just private adoption)!!!

I believe you should PM kelceesmom. She did a private adoption so she tell you more about the process.

Unfortunately, my husband will not consider an Asian child (where I know girls are more prevelant).

Keep in mind that being open to race may keep your wait time shorter but if your not flexible on that consider being open to birthmom visits and health issues (most of them aren't as scary as they sound)
