| It doesn't matter to me. Just wondering about other people. ↑ |

| Jessica Sue, Do you have a problem? I'm curious, making conversation. Wondering if someone wants just a girl or just a boy. ↑ |

Babies deserve a home regardless of their gender.
So you would turn away a precious little boy to hold out for your girl ?
Yes I would say I do have a problem with that. ↑ |

Hi, we are looking at adopting and we have two boys. We wuld like to have more and we are looking for two boys and two girls. We are going to possibly go thru foster care, but still undecided. We would like to go thru adoption for a baby and would like a girl but we do not care the gender.
What stage are you at in adoption, do you have children if so how old, and what if you dont mind are your names? ↑ |

| If you were pregnant yourself, you would get what gave God gave you. ↑ |

I have two boys and am outnumbered. My name is Alivia. And the reason for the name "want a baby girl" is because the girls we are talking to are both having girls. If they were having boys it would of been wantababyboy or if they were having one of each I guess it would be want a baby. I have already been given what "God" wanted me to recieve on birth children. Jessica Sue, in no way was I saying one child's gender was better to recieve than another. A child is a child. Or a baby is a baby. I would never love one child over another because of the gender.
Where we are at in the adoption process is talking still. We have an attorney, and have all talked at length with him. We finished our homestudy a few months ago. And we have finished foster parenting classes in case we decide to go thru foster care one day. Like I said the topic was for conversation. ↑ |

| Jessica Sue I am not sure who your post to but I have kids myself and still can if I want but it could kill me if I do. Now ppl have a preference to what they may or may not want. I myself have two boys and would LIKE A GIRL but this doen not mean in any way shape or form mean I only want a girl. I was going to adopt 2 boys but both parents changed their mond, one was a 2 yr old boy and she decided to parent the other was a 8 mo old boy and they let family have him. So just because someone has a preference does not mean you begrade them for it. I do think that ppl that do ONLY want one GENDER sould wake up and smell the coffee. I think if you want a specific gender you should go thru foster care. But it is not my place to say what is for another. I think it is wrong to pick one over the other. Instance is my second son I wanted a girl so bad. I even cryed when I was told he was a boy, but guess what, i love him just as much as if he would have been a girl and I would never trade him for anything. I love both my boys very much but that does not change the fact that i long for a girl also. ↑ |

Adoptionready:
In my post that you take what God has given you if you are pregnant, I was referring to Wantababygirl, not to you. ↑ |

| Cool, thanks for clarification!!!!! :)) ↑ |
| Name: wantababygirl | Date: Nov 12th, 2006 10:42 PM |
| And I answered you. I explained about the name. ↑ |
| Name: Jessica Sue | Date: Nov 13th, 2006 1:16 AM |
Your explanation of the name has no credibility. If you wanted ANY SEX BABY, you would have had the name WANTABABY.
Also, then you went on to asking others if "anyone else JUST wants to adopt a baby girl or baby boy. "That itself says it all. ↑ |

When we first started the adoption process we also wanted a little girl - there has not been a girl in our family in nearly 30 years. But when the time was right we were blessed with a son and I cannot imagine any other child as being my first and I adore him!
But I don't agree that it is wrong to want a boy vs. a girl or vice versa. Some people say if you were pregnant you would take what God gave you - and that is true. But for most of us, God took that priviledge away from us- we will never experience the joy of giving birth - so what is the big deal if we want to have some kind of say whether we want sons or daughters since the choice on how to create our families was already made for us.
True all children deserve a loving home and a wonderful life - but there are no shortages of couples looking for little girls or boys. I am 100% positve that a new born boy won't find a home because some families want a girl. Afterall, the ratio of families wanting to adopt vs, children available for adoption is at least 2:1. Sorry if you guys don't agree, but that is how I feel. ↑ |

| Well said HappyMom! I also wouldn't give up my sons for a daughter. But the girls I'm talking to are having girls so I picked that name. I think Jessica Sue has her drawers twisted for some reason. ↑ |

For the 15 years almost that my husband and I are going to be married, we wanted children. Then the infertility came along, but our wishes have not changed.
We wanted 3 or 4 children then, and feel the same way today. We still want 3 or 4 children, and at least 1 of each gender.
We were blessed with the adoption of our baby son early summer, and still look forward to adopting at least one girl somewhere along the way. ↑ |

| Carolyn, Will you go thru an agency? Or will you go independent adoption? ↑ |
| Name: Carolyn | Date: Nov 13th, 2006 4:10 AM |
We found our son through the internet; his birthmom responded to our adoption ad on surromomsonline.com
So this is called a designated adoption.
We live in CO which is a mandated agency state so the handling of the adoption must go through an adoption agency licensed in CO.
So again we will handle any future adoptions the exact same way. We will find the birthmom(s), and the agency will take over from there. ↑ |

| We don't care if we adopt a boy or girl. Either one is fine!! We would be blessed just to have another baby. I hope we get lucky soon. My daughter asks every day for a brother or sister! ↑ |

| We are wanting to adopt a baby girl. We have 3 boys and feel a girl would complete our family.My hubby feels bad when he goes and bonds with the boys and I have no one ↑ |
| Name: codyjody | Date: Nov 13th, 2006 3:51 PM |
| We hope to adopt one more time. Cody would love a little girl, so would I. But.....we would be just as happy with another baby boy. Out of all the situations we have been matched with, in the last 2 years, all have been boys, except for one. ↑ |
