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.
That's a pretty plausible bias.
I'd further speculate that adoptive parents have on average more prior interest in raising children than biological parents.
