We all make choices that will work best for our own unique situations. I'm AA, DH is CC, and we are specifically interested in an AA/CC biracial child. I was absolutely stunned when, during our homestudy, our sw asked, "Why are you interested in adopting a biracial child?" She then proceeded to elaborate that many biracial kids can be darker than full AA children (DUH!). I explained to her that it wasn't about skin color, but we feel we can offer. (I'm not sure she understood, but I was really frustrated by the experience.)
