Honestly - I wouldn't expect to see much of anything special in a transracial home. Artifacts, artwork, books and toys are accumulated over time - they ought to have some meaning for you and your child and not just be tokens that announce your multiculturalism, KWIM? You don't need to stage your home to be prepared for a child of another race/ethnicity. Yes, it's nice to have art or statues, or what not. And books and toys that feature children of color are definitely important. But even more important, IMHO, are your social group, your child's social group, your community and the meaningful interaction you and your family have/will have/intend to develop with other ethnic minorities.
