Expansion
After paying the adoption agency a visit, they decided this was what they should do. They knew it was hard for non-Caucasian kids to find good homes. The couple said they wanted to adopt any kid but a fully Caucasian child. They thought that God wanted them to have their own kid if they got denied. Aaron said, “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.” How would things go for this couple?
Adopting Children
The agency was quick to find kids for the Halberts. They clearly made the correct decision. They fell in love with two kids in the end, a boy and girl of African-American descent. They could not choose and decided to adopt both of them. They adopted Ford and Catherine, making it clear that race would have a huge part in the family. Of course, the couple also wondered what challenges would come their way as a racially diverse family. Despite everything, they knew that they could handle whatever happens.
