Wow I find those stats incredibly interesting. We are both European, but have said that we would love to have an asian/indian baby - actually pretty much any culture. We were told by our S/W that we would have a placement in a week if they could show our profile to the b/parents of a down syndrome child - but as we would be first time parents, I'm nervous about our lack of experience. However, we have both actually said that should we choose to adopt again after the first time, it is something we would seriously consider. They are crying out for parents apparently. How amazing that you were choosen once. On one hand its really positive but on the other, I can understand the disapointment. I feel for you all. We were watching something the other night on TV (I think it was ER or something) and they had this little boy who was being abused, and my heart just went out (even tho it was fiction) and I said to dh that if the adoption thing doesn't work out, that I would like to foster. He seemed quite keen. I just can't bear the thought of kids being hurt out there and no one jumping into protect them. it just does my head in.
