I wanted to add that I've read that it's beneficial to have more than one adopted child, period, even if they are not of the same race. I talked to a bunch of adult adoptees, and all of them said that sharing the fact that they were adopted was just as important, and to some more important, than whether the sibling was the same race or ethnicity as them. Just food for thought...
