We adopted our middle daughter from TJ, Mexico. We has a lunch meeting with her birthmother, just prior to meeting our daughter. She asked us what religion we were, and we said Jewish. We did not know what to expect, and she preceeded to tell us that she knew that there were many Jewish communities in Mexico City. I was very glad that she was so open to it. You just never know what a potential birthmother will find important. The MOST important advice I could give would be to be honest and yourself...believe me I had many factors that I thought would work against us....like a bio child, Jewish, I was morbidly obese at the time of both of my adoptions etc.
Hope his helps and the best of luck on your adoption journey.
