Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Me and hubby would like to adopt, though many times I feel he is rather hesitant.
Also, recently he suggested we do it privately, but I am keen on doing it through an adoption agency.

One problem I have if we go via an adoption agency goes like this..
It is my husband' s second marriage, (mine first). He has a daughter from his first marriage. If we adopt thru an agency, then we have to go in for a boy. (though daughter is not staying with us, but with my in-laws, they are over-protective about her, do not like me to take care, and she is quite old).

==>>> My question is, if we do a private (using a lawyer) adoption, in that case are we allowed to adopt a girl?

Sanjaana replied. Hello
Adoption is a pretty tough decision. I would suggest going throuh an agency. But in case you need further info please google search for Indusladies community and browse through Family and Relationship forum to know more.
