They wanted to keep serving their community in Mississippi. They were missionaries and felt like the work never ends. Rachel taught at the local school while Aaron worked as an intern and youth director at the Second Presbyterian in Yazoo City. They started to consider adoption more at the time. “We see the protection of children not as charity, nor as part of a political agenda, but as something near to the heart of God,” Aaron explained when he spoke to the Washington Post.

They also considered returning to Honduras for some time. Aaron grew up there, and they knew the needs of that community. They went back on a mission with the Presbyterian Church of America. They tried to conceive naturally as well but visited a Mississippi adoption agency. They were ready to begin their own family and wanted a child I need. They spent a day at the agency and found out many things.
