Expansion
Once immersing themselves in the adoption agency they decided this was the route they wanted to opt for. The couple was well aware that nonCaucasian kids struggled to find forever homes. The couple said that they would adopt any child but not a fully Caucasian child. If this would not happen it would be a sign from God that they were to have their own child. Aaron explained, “We did this with the deeply held conviction that if the Lord wanted us to have a fully Caucasian child my wife would conceive naturally.” What would happen?
Adopting Children
The agency managed to find a match quickly for the Halberts. The Halberts had made the correct decision. Rachel and Aaron fell head over heels in love with two children of African-American descent. The pair decided to adopt both the girl and the boy. Ford and Catherine would be welcomed into their family with open arms. Naturally, the couple also thought about the challenges that would arise due to them being a racially diverse family. Regardless, they knew they were well equipped to handle anything.
