AA adopting/fostering outside race

From my discussions with others in the adoption/foster care community (including the online community) I get the sense that it is more acceptable for CC people to adopt outside of their race than AA people

I have been asked many times why I would even consider adopting or fostering children that are not black, when they seem to outnumber the amount of non black kids that are available for adoption or are in the foster care system.

For me, it is not a matter of race, but a matter of love...To me, I just see a child who needs a home (whether temporary or permanent)

If you are AA, would you consider adopting a child that is not black.. Why or why not?

Also for everyone, do you think that it seems more acceptable for CC people to adopt outside of their race than AA people? Why or why not?
