Blessed
Rachel soon gave birth to Anne, Whitley, and Ryley in 2016. Despite the fact that it wasn’t what they had in mind, it turned out to be even better. The couple couldn’t be happier. “Oh, how thankful we are for God blessing us with these sweet little ones that he has placed in our care,” Aaron said. Aaron thought of his kids as the biggest blessings in life. “As I look at my growing family, I prefer to take it a step further, daring to hope that our family picture is a little hint of Heaven,” he continued.
Interracial Family
While the kids might not have been blood-related to them, Aaron and Rachel were still proud to think of them as their children. The couple adored the miraculous idea of an interracial family. Aaron said, “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. It pushes you to think in a new way about how you think, speak, act, and live. There is something beautiful and inspirational about being the only white face sitting and chatting with some of my African-American friends as my son gets his hair cut on a Saturday morning.”
