Hi everyone,

I have been able to be in touch with some of you via PM's and some private email. I hope everyone is doing well!

I have a question I'd like to put out there for anyone who has some ideas. I have finally decided on an agency (!) which I am very excited about and relieved to have made that decision. (I'd be happy to share that via PM if anyone needs agency info.)

I have been asked if I was interested in adopting a boy or girl. Initially, since I will be a single mom I thought it might be a better choice to request a girl as it may be better/easier on us both if I adopted a girl. Then I decided that I'd leave it up to God and whatever He chose to bring me would be the child I was meant to have.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this. Now that I'm getting closer to the next phase in adopting (waiting on state legalization of paperwork now) I will be asked this again just to be clear on what my interest is as far as the sex of the baby. I know referrals tend to come quicker for boys so there is a good possibility that I'll get a referral on a boy. In that case, I'll be a single mom with a boy which I think is okay, but wondering what experiences people have had.


Thanks!

Lisa
