I do know a couple where the wife is white and her husband is Mexican, and they adopted a white baby. Also, I know of a Native American woman adopting a sib group of three blonde haired kids who looked whiter than I do, but according to their birthmother, they were 25% Native American, and according to some tribal law or something, they could only be adopted by a NA family, so they sat in foster care for like 6 years...it is really dumb, if you ask me, especially since many Native American families are underprivileged in the first place and don't have the resources to adopt....it's so dumb.

Anyway, I think the only other cases are where there are older (like teen) white kids or big sib groups and they are just trying to find any family, but I think that the main reason that many white families adopt kids of other races is because those kids need a family more, and since there are many waiting kids who are non-white, I am sure that many non-white adoptive parents prefer to adopt children of color.
