Your question can only require an opinion-based answer, so I'll give you one. I believe that there is absolutely no reason why a person should allow racial issues to keep one from adopting a child. Oh, there are some people who say that white people will try to raise adopted black (or other race) children to be "white" or something equally absurd, but the truth is, you can't change a child's race or color simply by raising them. Every child has a racial heritage and this cannot be erased by means of parenting anymore than it could be erased by a school teacher or other influential adult. A good parent will teach their child to be proud of their race, regardless of whether it matches their own or not. Sure, certain cultural habits will inevitably rub off on the child, but what's so bad about that? Is teaching our children to love and appreciate other cultures such a bad idea?
