Pregnant with Triplets
The doctor told her that one of the embryos that had been adopted and implanted had split, which results in identical twins plus the other, single embryo. Of course, Rachel was a little shocked! She already had two adopted children, Catherine and Ford, and now she was getting ready to have three more! But how did the couple even learn about adopting embryos? Did they just ask a friend to donate them and freeze them until they were ready for more children?

Why They Chose Embryo Adoption
Aaron planned to become a missionary, and the family was moving to Honduras when they initially learned about embryo adoption. Rachel loved the idea of experiencing pregnancy and was primarily motivated by statistics. About 60,000 frozen embryos could be up for adoption, according to the US Department of Health/Human Services. This has been a hot-button topic in the US for many years, which may have given Rachel the idea to go ahead with it.
