This seems plausible to me. Can you think of specific ways in which they might be biased in an important way?
I suspect that families who adopt are likely to fall into a particular cluster of parenthood values, but I'd be hesitant to actually try to detail those values without reference to any actual study. I would speculate though, that they might be less invested in seeing their children grow up to be similar to themselves.
I'd further speculate that adoptive parents have on average more prior interest in raising children than biological parents.
That's a pretty plausible bias.
