Views on 2nd Adoption

I hope this is the right forum and that I don't offend anyone... I'm just wanting to know what others' experiences with this are, or if it's a non-issue to most.

We all (DH, adopted DS, and I) are CC. I've always been open to adopting a child of any race, b/c race just isn't an issue to me. My concern now is that if we adopt a child of a different race/cultural background, is s/he going to grow up feeling like s/he doesn't "belong" in our family b/c of the difference in skin tone? I certainly don't want to put a child in that position, but I also don't want to make narrow-minded decisions just b/c society can be that way sometimes.

I guess my question is, for our profile, is it better to say we only want a CC child, or is it really a non-issue for one child in a family to be racially different from everyone else?

Ugh. I hope I'm not coming across as idiotic as I think I am right now...
