Not necessarily. The baby my sister adopted is Gypsy. In Russia Gypsies are considered to be an entirely different ethnicity and an undesirable one at that. She was available for adoption by Russians for several months but no one wanted her. At her court hearing, my sister was asked repeatedly if she was sure that she really wanted to adopt a Gypsy baby.
