One important thing to consider is what your community is like. If the kid would have to deal with both being the only AA kid in the neighborhood/school/etc. on top of being the only AA kid in the family, then it could be hard on him/her. But honestly, I've worked with a handfull of AA kids who had been adopted by CC families in predominantly CC communities, and they didn't have major issues because of it (other than not knowing how to take care of their hair in a couple cases).
