My husband and I are going through the home visit stage in the adoption process. So far everything is going well and we are very excited by the prospect that maybe next Christmas we could be a family but for one problem we are at odds when it comes to deciding if we would like to adopt a boy or a girl.
We realise that we would be blessed to have the opportunity to love and cherish any child but when we sit down and talk about gender my husband says he would like to adopt a boy and I say I would like a girl. We have discussed perhaps siblings of each sex but are thinking one child may be enough so that we could give the child all our attention and love. Has anyone else had this dilemma as I don't know how to resolve this?
