一對(duì)夫婦請(qǐng)求女性在她們考慮墮胎并成功的情況下去收養(yǎng)孩子,這一請(qǐng)求迅速傳播開來
Kindness comes in all shapes and forms. And while some rely on faith and religion to assess their values, it really does not matter where it comes from as long as it does good. At the beginning of this year, a married couple from Virginia – Sarah Marie and Blake Thomas – put up a Facebook post that soon went viral. They were encouraging mothers who opted for abortion, to let them adopt the baby. Fast forward to today, their pursuit proved successful.
善良以各種形式出現(xiàn)。雖然有些人依靠信仰和宗教來評(píng)估他們的價(jià)值觀,但只要它是好的,它從哪里來真的不重要。今年年初,一對(duì)來自弗吉尼亞州的夫婦——莎拉·瑪麗和布雷克·托馬斯——在Facebook上發(fā)布了一條消息,很快就在網(wǎng)上瘋傳。他們鼓勵(lì)選擇墮胎的母親,讓她們收養(yǎng)孩子??爝M(jìn)到今天,他們的追求被證明是成功的。

Sarah Marie posted an update on her Facebook page: “Thanks to everyone who has expressed interest in helping these women. At this time, we are no longer receiving messages and the women who contacted us have been referred to Pregnancy Resource Centers or adoption agencies. Thank you! Dozens of expectant mothers contacted us, many of whom were contemplating or planning abortions. Many of those mothers are now considering parenting their babies and others are actively pursuing adoption. We have had the great honor of accepting one mother’s request that we adopt her baby. It has been a whirlwind of a week and we are still processing all of it. We are so grateful for all of these babies’ lives and their mothers, and we feel so privileged and honored to be parents again in approximately 7 months!”
莎拉·瑪麗在她的Facebook主頁上更新了一條消息:“感謝所有對(duì)幫助這些婦女表示興趣的人。目前,我們不再接收信息,與我們聯(lián)系的婦女已被轉(zhuǎn)到懷孕資源中心或收養(yǎng)機(jī)構(gòu)。謝謝你!數(shù)十名準(zhǔn)媽媽聯(lián)系了我們,其中許多人正在考慮或計(jì)劃墮胎。這些母親中有許多人正在考慮撫養(yǎng)自己的孩子,還有一些人正在積極爭(zhēng)取收養(yǎng)。我們很榮幸地接受了一位母親的要求,讓我們收養(yǎng)她的孩子。這是一個(gè)旋風(fēng)般的一周,我們?nèi)匀辉谔幚硭械氖虑?。我們非常感謝這些嬰兒的生命和他們的母親,我們感到很榮幸,在大約7個(gè)月后再次為人父母!”
