I was wondering and it has been going around in my head since Friday.
I was talking with a friend and we both talked about how we are able to be around infants as long as they are the opposite gender of our placed child.
My dear friend has guardianship of a 16 month old and I love being around him. At first I was wicked afraid of being near him because I was afraid of how I would be able to be around a toddler. What I have found is that he is completely different from Little Miss and I cannot compare the 2 of them because of the gender issue.

So I guess my question or even was just wondering if others were able/are able to do the same thing?

I struggle with this. A lot.

I haven't yet come to terms with what it all entails yet, though I'm spending time in prayer and working on it with my therapist as well. But your question is why I believe (though, as I said, I struggle with it!) that I was given two boys to parent, not a girl. I haven't yet written about some of this since we had the second ultrasound but, it's becoming more solidified in my being and my understanding. I'll get there soon.

But yes, in general, boys are easier for me than girls.

I never thought about it but looking back, my bson was born 27 years ago and I had 2 daughters 18, 17 after getting married in 1985 and I unconsciously avoided baby boys until my nephew was born 13 years ago and, as everyone in the family will tell you he is now my "favourite". We like the same music, games, etc. and we are quite close. It does seem odd. All the best.
