I know a white lady who adopted an African American boy. She ended up moving to a more racially diverse area specifically for her son.
I also know someone who took a lot of time to choose an egg donor with specific traits that were similar to her own. If a couple would like a child similar to themselves, then that's what they want and I don't think it's racist.
What I don't think the woman should have done is made the entire ordeal public. Her daughter might someday have issues because of it. The clinic was negligent and should pay a settlement, but hopefully this public case won't cause stress for the little girl when she gets older. If my parents sued a clinic because they got me as their child, I would probably think they thought something was wrong with me.
