Hello everyone!
If any of you are interested in exploring transracial adoption, here are a few suggestions that you may find helpful.
Both of these books are a must-read:
I'm Chocolate, You're Vanilla
and
Color Complex
Here are a few sites, too:

A site dedicated to black culture.

A site about multicultural issues.
There are also many useful groups on yahoo.com dealing with interracial families, transracial adoption, etc.
Please remember that to most of America, even if you do adopt a biracial child, s/he will be seen as black, not biracial. This is something I learned after exploring transracial adoption in detail--seems odd to some, but usually true.
