Help[Opinions] As an Asian-American, I say kudos to you.

I think what you're doing is great. Not only adopting but trying to be respectful of where she's from and not ignoring or hiding it. I ended up with a full name that completely omits that side of my ethnicity (I'm not adopted but my father is white so I had a white last name). I don't mind my first name (Leigh, which is usually mistaken for Li anyway) but I wish I had a middle name that tied me to that side, rather than my middle name, which had no thought put into it other than it was trendy at the time.
Just by having her middle name reflect her culture will likely be enough. It gives her choice and for that, thank you.
I like Sonia the best (my first association is actually with Korean-born Sonya Thomas, even though I speak Russian) but Thalia might fit the sib-names better.
