However, I do believe we are giving her the life of a princess and so much more than she would have gotten if she would have been adopted in Guatemala. (Since it was impossible for her bmom to parent anyway).<BR/>And requesting gender? Being with FTC as long as we have, we know that no baby goes without being adopted (that FTC gets). It is a personal choice and for me, well, after 5 boys, I was gettin my girl ;)<BR/>SeegalSighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037053472753237906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096183387503704352.post-81909077421836596292008-05-07T16:31:00.000-05:002008-05-07T16:31:00.000-05:00Hi Maria.

It will be so nice if our babies can know each other and be friends. If there is anything that I can help you with during the process just let me know. I will be more than happy to help you.

I too am thinking a lot about what I've been reading and it makes me very sad and my head is spinning sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I too struggled with whether I was being selfish specifying a girl. But, I knew this would be my only child and I had to follow my heart. And my heart was right.Alleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158345286546165294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096183387503704352.post-11451830172477570472008-05-06T21:03:00.000-05:002008-05-06T21:03:00.000-05:00Great post!

I get upset when I read of parents requesting a caucasian child when adopting domestically or from countries where some of the children are caucasian but then I think that request is no different than requesting gender or age. These are very tough issues. As you said, it should ultimately be about what is best for the child.<BR/>Kerri and Rubyveggiemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04382130007331410251noreply@blogger.com
