Default Combining two threads (Race and adoption)

I had a professor who was opposed to white people adopting black children. She said it was culturally confusing to the child and demonstrated that white people were still trying to subvert black society. I thought she was insane. Then I watched a white couple adopt and raise two black children. I witnessed their cultural confusion and difficulty in bonding with their parents. It seemed like many of the things my "crazy" professor predicted were happening. Now I'm conflicted. I don't see how any loving environment could be worse than a nonloving one but I can see the risks of cultural alienation and difficulties in bonding. Any thoughts on this subject by those who are more brilliant than I?
