We don't have any children so we aren't allowed to request a specific sex which is fine with us...I am just curious if you requested a girl or were randomly given a referral of a girl. My other questions is are either of you traveling to Korea or are you using an escort? On the one hand I think an escort makes life so much easier for us but then again I think the experience of traveling would be priceless.
Last question, do you have any books on Korean adoption that you would recommend?

Debbie,
Congratulations on your decision! To answer some questions:
Different agencies have different policies on escorting. My agency requires travel, which we like.
As far as timelines to adopt, this is also highly variable between and within agencies. We filed an initial application in July 08 and our homestudy packet just went over last week.
As far as books, we didn't find one specific to the Korean adoption process, probably because it is different between agencies and constantly changing. Is there a specific topic you're interested in?
