Common use of Gender Preference Clause in Contracts

Gender Preference. Families are encouraged to be open to a child of either gender. Some countries do not allow families to request a child of a specific gender, except under special circumstances. While some country programs allow a gender preference, families should be prepared for a longer wait if they specify a gender preference. CAS reserves the right to close applications in particular programs to families open only to the placement of a specific gender child; this is done if the wait for children of one gender is becoming too long.
