I'm not saying that's exclusive, but I'm thinking isn't it a better idea if you know as much about the child as possible in order to find the best adoptive family? If you know the child is indigenous, and you have two families--one who's indigenous from that cultural group here, or roughly the same cultural group as the child, and one who's not--doesn't it make sense to at least consider that as a factor? I'm not saying exclude other families for placement, but I'm saying more information is always better for the child and for the adoptive parent, and certainly for the birth parents as well.
