I see where you're coming from, but all parents who decide to adopt a child of their own skin color don't necessarily think their own skin color is "better". Sometimes it's more about being able to provide a positive role model of the same ethnic background for the child, or not wanting the child to be the only child of color in a white family (or the other way around). The parent or parents definitely have to be prepared for the looks, stares and questions that usually ensue (in front of the child) when one of the children looks different than the parents.
