I adopted as a single my son Daniel in 2002 and had him home at 4-1/2 months. I am in the process with number 2 whichis also a boy. Studies suggest that it is really better for a single mom to have a boy. Some times single moms view their daughters as too much of "friend" and want more that relationship. YOu need to have a male role model for any one adopting as a single mother. THis was not manadated in 2002 but my home study clearly outlined the males who would play a role in my son's life. Some people just think its easlier to raise a girl than a boy but at some point all kids have issues with their parents. My son is the joy of my life and it was the best decision. I feel sorry for people who say they want to parent but won't open themselves up for a boy. Now if the family already has boys then its a little different. In most countries you don't have a choice. PGN is PGN so if the reviewer wants to pick appart your case they can. Donabanks, you will love be a mom to a boy
I encourage everyone to think about it, they are great.
