Chandini,
If you are still thinking of adopting, there are LOTS of Hispanic and African American children waiting for families in the state of Massachusetts (foster care). That state seems to be fairly quick at terminating parental rights, so they have quite a few younger children.
My husband and I were selected in January 2005 for three Hispanic girls, ages 7, 5, and 3, and they will come home after the school year ends in June. (Of course we inquired about them in July 2004! We were the 2nd family selected for the girls after the 1st family backed out at the last minute after being matched with another child they had been waiting on.)
We found our girls on the "Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE)" Web site (search for it on Google) through the "Online Matching" area. They never appeared on the photolisting for some reason, even though the parental rights were already terminated when we found them. So don't be discouraged if you can't find children in your preferred age range on the photolisting. The online matching feature will e-mail you children who fit your parameters (age, race, health issues). We received MARE e-mails for more than 40 sibling groups all under the age of 8 in the past year! Just be sure to call the adoption recruiter directly if you find a child you are interested in. And e-mail/mail your adoption home study to them right away. And then keep bugging them, showing them that you are interested!
Good luck!
P.S. Massachusetts is very fast with their interstate adoption paperwork! (At least in our case--less than one week!)
