[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I would really like to adopt a baby girl preferably biracial but would also be open to an African-American baby (we are an interracial family). However, I’m really concerned about in utero exposure to drugs and alcohol. And from reading this forum it seems that might be a tall order. Is adoption a viable option for what I’m looking for?[/quote] I am more concerned with the fact that you are looking for a girl. Putting aside the impact that girl preference has on international and older child adoptions, it is very hard to make this request in domestic infant adoption. Some expectant mothers don't want to know the sex. Others won't pick adoptive parents who express a preference.[/quote] And some agencies do not allow you to specify.[/quote]
