International adoption - choosing a country

One of the issues dh and I are struggling with in choosing a country to adopt from is the impact on the child we adopt and our biological daughter. We were originally considering China because we want another girl, but are concerned about how the unwelcome attention will affect the kids. We are a blond family (my 2.5 year old daughter is as fair and blond as one can get!). We started leaning toward Russia for this reason, but want to make sure we aren't blowing the issue out of proportion before writing off China.

For anyone who has dealt with particular situation, what sort of problems have you encountered? I think our biggest concern is when they begin school/how other kids will react.

Thanks for your help!
