Boy or Girl
When we completed our first packet for our placement agency, we assumed a girl would be easier to get from China, so we indicated that we preferred a girl and said we were willing to adopt a child up to 24 months (thinking a girl would be more likely from China because of the one child policy). Now that we are into the process, we've learned that there are an equal number of boys and girls in the waiting children program. And 90% of adoptiong parents want little girls. It is very possible that adopting a little boy would be an easier and faster option. I'm wondering whether to tell our agency that we have changed our minds. Or do we let it ride and see what happens? What do you think?

Our neighbors in Colorado had one of each; however, the boy had physical problems. I don't know if most of the boys up for adoption have some type of problem (since Chinese seem to mostly want boys) or if they just chose him because they felt he might be "unadoptable" otherwise. Does that make sense? You should put in for the sex of child you really want since there seems to be an equal number.
