Racism has indeed existed since the dawn of time. Fortunately, many people decide to look past these differences and live in harmony with one another.
In this sense, we highlight the pleasantly surprising story of these young parents who decided to break the mold and adopt children of color without worrying about others’ opinions, only to receive a beautiful surprise from destiny.
Adopting a child from a different culture is not a common thing. Adoption can be done in the usual way or through embryo adoption.
Embryo adoption is intended for a couple experiencing double infertility. Thus, they can benefit from the transfer of frozen embryos donated by another couple.
One couple decided to adopt embryos and chose two African American embryos that had been frozen for over 15 years.
In 2017, a couple of future young parents made a significant decision that would change their lives: to start with, they decided to adopt two black children.
Aaron and Rachel Halbert’s action was driven by the desire and conviction to provide a home for these children, as white children had a much higher chance of finding a home and adoptive families.
The young couple loved children but faced infertility issues. They heard about the National Embryo Donation Center, an embryo bank. That’s when Rachel came up with the idea of implanting two African American embryos.
The surprise was great when they found out that one of the implanted embryos had split, and the young parents would now welcome triplets instead of the twins they were expecting.
