一对夫妇请求女性在她们考虑堕胎并成功的情况下去收养孩子，这一请求迅速传播开来
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.
善良以各种形式出现。虽然有些人依靠信仰和宗教来评估他们的价值观，但只要它是好的，它从哪里来真的不重要。今年年初，一对来自弗吉尼亚州的夫妇——莎拉·玛丽和布雷克·托马斯——在Facebook上发布了一条消息，很快就在网上疯传。他们鼓励选择堕胎的母亲，让她们收养孩子。快进到今天，他们的追求被证明是成功的。

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·玛丽在她的Facebook主页上更新了一条消息:“感谢所有对帮助这些妇女表示兴趣的人。目前，我们不再接收信息，与我们联系的妇女已被转到怀孕资源中心或收养机构。谢谢你!数十名准妈妈联系了我们，其中许多人正在考虑或计划堕胎。这些母亲中有许多人正在考虑抚养自己的孩子，还有一些人正在积极争取收养。我们很荣幸地接受了一位母亲的要求，让我们收养她的孩子。这是一个旋风般的一周，我们仍然在处理所有的事情。我们非常感谢这些婴儿的生命和他们的母亲，我们感到很荣幸，在大约7个月后再次为人父母!”
