I know I picked gender but if I had been referred a boy I believe I would still have been so excited about being a mom. If I get to adopt again then I will be selecting gender again -- but this time for different reasons. I have a girl. I also have a 2 bedroom house. Since my children would need to share a room then I would select a girl again. But I would also not be doing an infant adoption this time either (I am not a baby person). My next adoption I will be looking at an older child (the 4-7 year old range). So for me gender is important for the next adoption out of necessity.

Actually, this makes perfect sense to me - thanks for responding!
