When I was doing my matching criteria I told my sw that I definately wanted a little girl, during the course of homestudy she "guided" me into saying that I would be happy to accept either sex as I am a bit of an old git and I am single so I would be not be first choice when it came to family finding. Well as the months have gone on I have found myself really worrying that I might be matched with a little boy ( no offence to anyone who has got one) but my heart is really set on a girl, it always has been and I believe it always will be. I am seeing my sw this week for the fnal time before panel so I have to tell her but I am dreading it because I know she will try and convince me to leave it either sex, but I dont want to be in the position of saying no just because I have been given the chance of a boy. Any advice?

we were sent loads of profiles,i had a shiver when i saw dd1 and the same with dd2. dh didnt like the look of dd2,i had to really fight him to get her.funnily enough both were sent to us by sw who thought they would be a good match.

Well I saw sw today for the last session of homestudy. She totally is on my side now in respect of my desire for a girl. She understands my reasons and is happy that I have explored my reasons fully. We have agreed to re look at the situation every 3 months if I am not matched so I can have the oppurtunity to up my age range, wait a little longer or change gender.
I am very happy tonight!

Excellent, that sounds like a sensible position on both sides

Great news :)

I am totally in love with my little girl, and cannot imagine having a different child.
I very much see it from the point of view that the right child is out there somewhere, the child that's meant for you.
What's meant to be, will be, and I'm v glad that your sw is supporting your decision.
When do you go to panel?

Sounds like a perfect solution, fingers crossed for you now x
