Generally, it is a longer wait for a white baby (it is also usually more expensive and the criteria for adoptive parents tend to be stricter, but I doubt that these are ever considerations if you are a rich celebrity ...).

These celebs could get white babies if they wanted to. I seriously doubt that the other white families have adopted most of the white babies across the country. If "race didn't matter and we just wanted a baby," then.....
Getting a Black baby from New Orleans (Black + Hurrican Katrina = WIN) is still no coincidence.
Just like Madonna and Angelina Jolie didn't just stumble upon Black babies and other nonwhite babies from overseas. The race and ethnicity mattered for some reason, such as attempting to help babies of different races or having a more diverse family. So, there's no reason to pretend the race and ethnicity are invisible physical, social and cultural traits that were unnoticed and didn't matter then or now.
