I think there is a HUGE difference in specfying gender and specifying special needs, race etc. Gender difference do not require additional resources, therapy (SN), moving to diverse areas (race) or ongoing contact with a new culture etc. Unless your circumstance is as ocracoke stated - the kids are sharing a bedroom so it needs to be another girl/boy. Although, my son and daughter shared a bedroom for 2 years (ages 5 (boy) and 10(girl), but of course it was not long term and would not work now that they are older. |
Thank you for saying what I was trying to say, just not as eloquently as you did.

Would like to say to you but I don't know how...
Cause maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonder wall"
