White Mother Gives Birth to Three Black Babies, And Her Husband’s Reaction Is Absolutely Beautiful
Families look a lot different now than they did just 50 years ago. Interracial marriage is widely accepted, adoption and foster care means that children with bad home lives are given hope in a forever family, and it’s not uncommon for a family to be made up of parents and children of different ethnicities and skin types.
Aaron and Rachel Halbert are strong believers that the racial turmoil in our country—and predominantly where they are from in the south—should never mean sacrificing a child’s opportunity at having a family.
In fact they believe it’s their duty to embrace the beauty in our differences.
After struggling for years to conceive, Rachel and Aaron turned to a different method of creating a family: adoption. They proudly welcomed a little boy and a little girl—both with darker skin—into their forever family.
The pair adopted two African-American kids, and found their lives changing in a magical way.
The Halberts hadn’t intended to have any more children, but then they heard about the National Embryo Donation Center, a Christian embryo bank that ‘saves’ the excess frozen embryos that are created during a couple’s IVF treatment.
Usually those embryos – which comprise just a few cells – are destroyed or given to science once their biological donors successfully implant one.
But Christian centers accept ‘donations’ that can then be ‘adopted’ by couples having trouble conceiving.
They adopted two frozen African American embryos, and implanted them as directed. Inside the womb however, one of the embryos split, and six weeks later the couple learned they were pregnant with triplets!
The triplets, three girls, were born in April.
Aaron says their family is not what he and Rachel had planned 12 years ago when they were dating and discussing adoption, “but oh, how thankful we are for God blessing us with these sweet little ones He has placed in our care.”
The look on this proud papa’s face as he holds their three little ones says it all.
While the gawking stares and criticism for their interracial family have been painful for the couple at times, they still couldn’t be happier of the decision they made.
Not only is it beautiful that Rachel was finally able experience pregnancy— further—that the Halbert family of seven is a living example of what God has called us to as brothers and sisters in Christ.
