Most or all of the sites in the above link seem to be about African-American children adopted by European-American families.

Consider that interracial adoption can include Asians and Native Americans adopted by European-Americans. In my personal experience, the results of such an adoption are great. Parents can help the child understand their birth culture, while raising the child in a more affluent and loving family than the one in which they were born.
