I found this article by Christ Ortiz to be very interesting, especially this quote:
A white baby is in need of adoption, and two families would like to raise the child. Both families are white, and are virtually of the same status economically, emotionally, geographically, and spiritually. Which family shall the baby go with? It's difficult to say because either one would be ideal. However, let's say the baby in need of adoption is black, and the two families seeking to adopt are also equal in all respects with one exception: one family is white while the other is black. Which family shall the baby go with? If you said, "either one," you're likely in denial. If you said, "the black family," you've taken the first step towards genuine racial understanding. Why should the black baby go with the black family? Because race matters.
