Dear Roland Thank you for your response.
According to Wikipedia, as at 2011, Canada had a population of approximately 33.4 million and according to the Adoption Council of Canada the number of overseas adoptions in 2010 was 1,946 in total. Of this total, 472 were from China, 172 from Haiti and 148 from US. A breakdown of the rest you will be able to see in the link below: http://www.adoption.ca/adoption-news?news_id=56 Of these 1,946 overseas adoptions in Canada, I beg to differ from you that many of these will have been made by couples who you say consider themselves "Canadian first rather than Goan", even the very few made I feel sure will have been mostly by mixed race couples (where one partner is Canadian-Goan).
