Interesting question. While our local social worker hardly touched on the topic at all (our daughter is from Kazakhstan, she is Asian and we are adopting a Kazakh boy as well) our placement agency required (and paid for) us to take several online courses about adopting transracially as well as attachment and correct adoption language.
I believe that agencies that are accredited under the Hague will require education for their clients, I think its part of the requirements for accreditation.
As an aside, we also are lucky that my sister, my only sibling (my DH is an only child) is marrying a man of Japanese descent, while he isn't Kazakh, hopefully our children will learn that families don't have to include people of just one race.
