I wouldn't think so. A healthy child is a healthy child, and a child who is at risk for chemically generated birth defects would be less of an attractive adoption candidate.

I've read plenty of stories about how children adopted from Russia and Romania have all sorts of emotional issues as well as higher risks of having AIDS. That doesn't stop people from adopting them.
Most Chinese children that are adopted, are girls, and most of those girls were abandoned on the side of the road, and little is known of their parentage.
The other risk that is taken for adopting locally, is most US adoptions are open adoptions, there's very little from stopping the biological parent from getting involved in the child's life. Something that may more may not be good for the child. Foreign adoptions, I doubt that would be a problem.
