My wife wanted a girl and I wanted a boy for our first adoption so we decided to make it fair and be open to both and see where that leads us. Statistically we will be more likely to get a boy since there are more boys in the system but you never now. I will be happy either way. My wife wanted to be open to a newborn to 2 years old I was willing to be open to a child 10 or younger. We decided on being open to children 5 and younger. If we happen to come across a child in a photolisting between 5 and 10 years old we will be open that that child as an individual and take it from there. But right now we are just  waiting for the darn  to ring.
