For all the criticism of places that haven't introduced gay marriage yet, Israel doesn't even recognize interracial marriages and is basically at the standards of most US states before 60s, rather than before the 00s.

I'm pretty sure marriages between black and white Jews are ok, just like between Christians, Muslims, etc.

That is, if a child has a Jewish mother the child is not supposed to be adopted by a non-Jew.  The requirement has to do primarily with religion.  The exception, which is a major one, is that an observant Jew can adopt a child from a non-Jewish family if there is a conversion process.

I'm not sure what the status of that bill is.

The Jewish family law was mainly developed around a millennium and a half ago, when Jews were not in a position of authority over any other people  - so the attempt to use it in the context of a modern state with a pluralistic population is bound to run into difficulties.    It is at least I gather more flexible that Islamic adoption law.
