Racially similar parents aren't always and predictably available. Is it better to just leave the kid to wither in state run institutions?
A baby is generally not left to fend for itself in institutions. There are generally more than enough Caucasian parent awaiting a Caucasian infant to adopt.
Moreover, Sikh culture is especially Indian in nature and not Caucasian. Its not as if these people have a mild religious culture. Its very involved. The welfare agency likely doesn't see that as a reasonable home for a White child with more options, anymore than it would seek to place such a child with Islamists, Orthodox Jews, or the Amish.

This sounds more like an issue of religion though. What if the prospective adoptive parents and the kid are of different races, but have no discernible difference in religious background?
Can they not go outside the country to adopt, like we do here in the US?
Presumably, like in the US, adopting through the local governmental agency is much cheaper and possibly faster. And they are citizens paying taxes to support that agency, why shouldn't they get the benefit of using it?

IDK. I know a few couples here who for whatever difficulties they had locally finally adopted from Russia.
Just saying if they are dealing with too much crap in the UK are they able to adopt overseas.
I mean, how would mixed race babies be handled by adoption agencies, particularly those with an unusual racial mix? Would they just have much lower odds of being adopted?

Still a no go. As I before made the argument for, and which the British child welfare system agrees with me on.
The religious argument was an additional argument against this specific adoption.
