They Were Shocked When She Gave Birth To 3 Black Children.

#1

Rachel and Aaron Halbert were unable to have children naturally. They saw it as a sign from God that they weren't supposed to have white children.

#2

Aaron grew up in Honduras. His parents served as missionaries there. He is used to being the only white person among his friends, which increased his cultural awareness and made him feel more comfortable around other races.

#3

His wife, Rachel, grew up in Mississippi and didn't have the same exposure to other cultures but she was still compassionate toward every human.

The couple finally adopted two black children.

#4

They loved how much enrichment their multicultural family brought them. They reveled in the fact that Rachel had to seek advice from her black friends about how to care for her daughter's hair or how Aaron is the only white face when he takes his son to the barbershop for a haircut. Their children have really given them a unique perspective about life.

This couple's adoption story doesn't end there. When they learned about the National Embryo Donation Center, a Christian embryo bank that accepts frozen embryos that are created during a couple's IVF treatment, the couple decided to adopt two more black children. One of the embryos divided and so Rachel gave birth to triplets!

As remarkable as this couple's story is, they often face criticism from the community. Some people are appalled by their decision to have raised children who are of a different race and the disparagement comes from both blacks and whites.

Of course, not every person looks at this family negatively. Many others are moved by the Halberts choice to have a large multicultural family.

This is truly a unique modern family.
