You’re going to go through the process – put your family out there with an agency, who will be looking for a pregnant woman who chooses to put her baby up for adoption. She gets to choose the family. She will look at several - possibly hundreds of family profiles, pictures (probably), lifestyles, and make this HUGE decision of which family her unborn baby will go to.

Then the baby is born. It’s a boy. You will seriously just walk away and leave her? She would be crushed. I know, because this happened to someone I know. She cried for months when she found out she was pregnant. Agonized over hundreds of families, wanting the best for her child. Picked a family that she got to know – and who got to know her. Then, for reasons I won’t say here, when she gave birth, that family walked away. She was broken.

So, good luck in handpicking your child in a way that you pick a dog from the kennel. I really hope you decide against adoption and just be happy with what you have.

I know a family who did that. They only wanted a girl and baby turned out a boy. They were in the hospital and in the delivery room. They literally walked out from what they said and didn't care. (they never ended up adopting). I desperately wanted a girl as I knew we'd only adopt one but I got a boy and never thought about turning him down. I cannot imagine a child more perfect for our family. It was horrific what they did.
