We specifically wanted to adopt a boy. (Well, to be honest, my husband was open to either, but I really wanted a boy!)
I just felt that I would make a better "boy mom" than "girl mom." Our son has been home for four months now and he is the light of our lives. We are already talking about when we'll be adopting another child and we will adopt another little boy.
I have one sister and I have always felt so lucky to have her. We have lots in common even though we are very different in personality and I think a sibling of the same gender is a unique relationship. My husband is close with his brother and not as much with his sister.
It's important to me that our son have a brother...someone who will have similar life experiences to his.
(I do have moments where I moon over all the frilly pink outfits at the Gap, though.) LOL
