The answer as to whether or not there is a shortage of families who want to adopt an AA or biracial child depends very much on how you define a family. I have spoken to many agencies, ones that will only work with heterosexual, married couples, that cannot find families for AA or biracial babies. The agency I am working with, which is quite progressive and works with single parents, older parents and gay couples, has a 15-20 month wait for an AA infant.
There is no shortage of people who would love to adopt AA or biracial babies. There is a shortage of agencies that are open to working with a greater variety of prospective adoptive parents.
