"Matt and Andrew, had always thought of themselves as white..9 percent Native American and 11 percent northern African"
This points up the confusion between the political category "white" and biological categories of race. The twins are 91% Caucasian but their Dad doesn't seem to consider them "white".

The twins are 91% Caucasian but their Dad doesn't seem to consider them "white". Thought we had gotten rid of that, "Just one drop" nonsense. Guess not.

If he had wanted to adopt [a] minority child[ren] ... there are plenty who are in need of loving homes. If he had known that the parents of these twins he adopted were NOT white ... would he have adopted them?
Just wondering ...
Seems like nothing more than shameless opportunism to me.
