Actually, you CAN have a biological child AND choose their gender. The proceedure is called Microsort and since your married with two boys you whould qualify for the program. Basically they "sort" out your husband's sperm so the can fertilize your egg with sperms that carry the X chromosome you need to have a girl. The only pitfall is that it not 100% accurate. You would only have a 92% chance of having a girl.
Another proceedure that is more accurate (and also more expensive) is PGD. Basically, the process is the exact same as IVF except they look at your embryos chromosomes and only implant the ones that carry the XX chromosome (the genes needed to carry a girl). The process is 99% accurate if your trying for a boy or girl.
You can PM me if you want more info on both of these options.
