I don't think you are being selfish, regardless of which country you choose to adopt from. Either way, you're adopting from a country that has babies/children who need homes, and that's what it's all about when you get right down to it.

Each of us has a piece of the puzzle to fulfill. I've stated my beliefs on couples adopting across racial lines; and continue to feel that if they cannot deal with the differences, they should stay within their own race. Whether I agree with the reasonings for choosing same race, it has to do with how that family can feel about their baby.
In your case, either country you choose is dealing with babies that have a different skin tone than your own. Your experiences are vast and wide; and while it is helpful to know about the country, the bottom line is how you connect with your new baby. I think you've answered that question; and it would seem that skin tone is not an issue with you.

Good luck on your journey, regardless of the country--I hope your wait is short. My best to you!

Sincerely,

Linny
