feeling confused

Hi.
I posted on the general board that we are going to be presented to a birthmom on Wednesday. Needless to say we are super excited and nervous! Especially since I didn't think this agency would come through for us and so quickly. We had already set our sights on "freelancing" ourselves out in January. We were also REALLY HOPING for an AA or bi-racial baby!!! The baby that we will be presented for is caucasian.
Now that the shock that there is a birthmom is settling in I'm starting to wonder...I don't want to not be presented to her. But I also really was hoping for a baby that was not caucasian. Although, I can honestly say that I will love whatever baby we get no matter what color it is! I just don't want to feel like I am "settling"...I don't want to not be presented because I know there are people that wait years for a baby and our wait has been really short. I also know that we are VERY open (several social workers have already commented positively on our openness) and according to those SWs our wait shouldn't be long period.
Sorry to ramble. Maybe I'm having second thoughts on the caucasian baby? That sounds so sad to say. Is it normal to feel that way? The birthmom hasn't even picked us yet so I know that I could be getting my panties in a twist over nothing. Thanks for letting me ramble!!
