A white, pro-life, evangelical Christian couple gave birth to black triplets, according to a 2016 article published by the Washington Post. 

Aaron and Rachel Halbert had already had it in their hearts to adopt more children into their growing family. Already adopting a Black son and a biracial daughter, the couple wilfully decided to partake in embryo adoption to expand their bunch. The couple said they wanted to conceive two Black embryos being that they already adopted Black children.

“Knowing that it is often more challenging to find adoptive homes in the United States for non-Caucasian children we informed the agency that we were willing to accept any child except a fully Caucasian child,”

Aaron told the outlet. 

However, what started as a twin embryo would later split into three, creating triplet girls. The couple gave birth to three healthy African American daughters and expressed their joy in creating a

“multi-ethnic”

family.

“The beauty of a multi-ethnic family is found there, in the fact that the differences are the very thing that makes ours richer and fuller,”

Halbert told the outlet.

“It forces you to think in a new way about the way you think, speak, act, and live.”

According to the article, the two did not struggle with conceiving on their own but had a

“shared desire”

of adopting, in hopes of helping children who weren’t fortunate enough to receive that from their own parents.

“We see protection of children not as charity, nor as part of a political agenda, but as something near to the heart of God,”

Aaron explained.
