If you strongly identify with your ethnicity, and were going to adopt a baby, would you seek a baby with the same heritage?

Not picking on any group here, and I don’t think this has anything to do with discriminating or being prejudice, so I hope we don’t have any negativity regarding replies if people feel strongly about adopting within their own national or cultural background.

A friend of mine, her aunt and uncle who are Polish-American, when they adopted they went to Poland to adopt. I heard Giulina and Bill Rancic are going to Italy to adopt, beceause she is Italian. Here in America people might seek children with similar backgrounds to themselves? Not sure. I have heard people choose surrogate egg or sperm donors that have similar features to themselves or family, which is also a similar idea.

So, whatever you identify with, Italian, Jewish, Hispanic, Polish, Russian, etc., would you want an adopted baby to be the same, to carry on the line so to speak?
