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.

No I agree, I was speaking specifically on that situation. If you agree to a match in the first place, then take another match, that is clearly more risky with 7 months difference, only because of skin color? That is rude & does say one child is "Better".
I agree that they have to be prepared...but they ONLY questioned thier match when another "same race" baby came along. That is a red flag to me.
I'm just glad they didn't adopt transracially, they obvioulsy were no where near prepared to.
