Ok, here's another question. Do you think society is more accepting of minority girls than minority boys? I wonder if somewhere we (white people, I mean) deep down think girls of other races (I use the term race broadly) are exotic and attractive but tend not to think of boys in those terms.
I'd hate to think that's the case, but I wonder if subconciously that comes into play when adopting internationally (I don't know if countries like Russia see as many requests for boys as girls).
So what I'm hearing is that the preference for girls is adoption related -- that the same people wouldn't also wish for a bio daughter instead of a son? Interesting, because I've known several people who adopt because they have bio boys and they want a daughter.
