Why do adoptive parents want a baby that looks like them?

Question by cowboy_fan: Why do adoptive parents want a baby that looks like them?

I asked in a previous post about people only wanting white babies. One of the prevailing answers is that people want a baby who looks like them. Why do adoptive parents want their baby to look like them? To be honest, I think this is a stupid answer. Other than that I really can’t come up with anything else. I think this makes no difference at all in the parent adoptee relationship. What are your thoughts? For some reason I can’t gather my thoughts around this so if somebody could help it would be great.
