Where racist people struggle to divide and make distinctions between human beings. Unbelievable families still prove to us that man knows nothing and that rejecting the other is not the solution. That we must stop rejecting the other because he or she is different from us.
And to stop making hasty judgments without any reason. Every human being is born different. We don’t have the same number of hairs, the same eyes, or the same body. Our character is different and we don’t like the same thing.
But, is the fact that my neighbor is different from me or the people around me. I have to reject him, stigmatized him and blame him for all the evils when my real motives are that I am afraid of what I don’t know.
Today, we’re going to talk to you about parents like no other. White parents who gave birth to black children.
We have already seen the case of black parents who gave birth to white children and then twins of different skins. We will continue to travel the world and discover the wonders that God reveals to us and the messages of tolerance, sharing, love, acceptance of the other that are increasingly absent from this world.
People use selective reproductive technologies SRT in various family-making practices to assist with decisions about which children should be born. The practice of ‘embryo adoption’, a form of embryo donation developed by white American evangelical Christians in the late 1990s, is a novel site for reconceptualizing SRT and examining how they function among users.
Presbyterian missionaries Aaron and Rachel Halbert are the proud parents of five young children. The couple is white and all five of their children are black.
In an article written for The Washington Post, Aaron Halbert explained how he and his wife had difficulty conceiving naturally and later learned that white children are more likely to be adopted. They felt a calling to provide a home for a child who may not have otherwise been adopted.
They went to an adoption agency in Mississippi and adopted two African-American children, one boy and one girl. They said their family has been met with varying degrees of racism and acceptance.
” Aaron Halbert wrote in the Post. “We believe when you look into any human’s eyes, you look into the face of an image-bearer of God – into the eyes of a person whose soul is eternal. While that is the common thread of all humanity, it doesn’t mean our racial differences are insignificant.
We see the human family’s varying physical characteristics as awesome reminders of God’s creative brilliance. It’s not that we think race doesn’t exist, or that we don’t see it. In fact, it’s the opposite we see it, and we embrace it.”
