I have a boy and a girl. My daughter has autism, and I made mention to the director of my angecy that I think a girl would benefit her for several reasons. However, I never really said I wanted a girl, and in my homestudy it read that while I thought a girl would benefit my daughter, we were open to either sex. We received the referral of a girl. So I am pretty sure my agency did that on purpose because of my situation. But I never requested a girl, because I didn't really have a major preference.

I have a ton of books to recommend, but none are specific to Korea adoption. I highly recommend the Holt forum boards though to understand the process more. They are extremely helpful!

Good luck! Enjoy the process!
