I agree that you are making a wise choice for your child. I was open to any race when I first applied to be a foster/adopt parent through the state. But after my son was placed with me I knew that I would only adopt an AA/AA-biracial child after that. I am white, my whole family is white obviously and since I am single I do not have to worry about having a white husband. Not that I would worry about it but you know what I mean. If I was married to a white guy and both of us and our families were white and then I adopted one black child and one white child, I just feel that it would make things harder for the AA child.
So now I have two AA children. They are actually bio siblings as it worked out. I got the call for her a year after bringing my newborn son home from the hospital.
Not that a white siblings would have been any less a sibling in any way, just that it may make the AA child in the family feel like they stand out too much and that they can't totally relate to anyone in their family.
