You have to choose the country that works best for your family. If race is going to be an issue in your family then choosing a country that can give you a child that looks more like you is yor best bet. I am as white as you can get (German and English decent) adopted into a family that is half christian and half jewish. I have one cousin adopted from Korea. I have 2 cousins dating black men. I have a sister dating a black man. So in the end I thought any race would fit into my family so I ended up choosing Ethiopia. BUt you need to do what is best for you -- what you feel drawn too.

Best of luck
Samantha
