They Took It Slow
The pair began to travel together on missionary trips, which helped them bond and grow closer. When the realized that they both wanted to adopt children, they knew that they were a great match. Aaron said in an interview with the Washington Post: “When we were still dating, a common bond that drew us together was the fact that Rachel and I both wanted to adopt.”
Plans For The Future
Despite the fact that they were fertile and able to conceive children naturally, they both felt compelled to adopt instead. On their reasoning, Aaron commented: “While we were fertile, we were both deeply convicted that one of the ways to be pro-life is to involve ourselves in adoption.” Once they realized they were on the same page, Aaron decided to propose. Of course, Rachel said “yes!”
