I so agree with LisaCA. I'm also a little suspect of the whole "wanting the child to look like me" statement. I know a LOT of people who are totally okay with crossing racial lines and adopting from China or Guatamalia but just are not open to adopting a black child. Our society is still very much biased against people of African American culture.

Agencies should provide images of people from all walks of life and heritages. I dated a black man who would not buy clothes from A&F because they never showed any people of color in their ads. They finally started doing so last year.

We all want to see ourselves represented in society. This goes for people of color too. -Not just whites.
