Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te 23 o Mei, 2010, i peia te wahine marena hou a Rachelle Friedman ki roto i te puna. I whati i a ia te kaki, ka paraire tonu ia mai i te kaki ki raro. I a ia e rere ana nga kaiāwhina, e tangi ana ōna hoa, e waea atu ana hoki tana kaumeahine i tawhiti atu i te toru haora, kotahi tonu tana pātai: Ka taea pea e ia te whai tamariki? 'Ko te mea tuatahi i whakaaro ahau,' i kii a Rachelle ki DailyMail.com. 'Kāore au i te mōhio he aha te mea ka pā ki ahau, he aha rānei te mea e tupu ana. Engari mai i te wā i aroha ai ahau ki a Chris i hiahia ahau ki te whai tamariki ki a ia. I taku hinganga ki roto i te kaukau, a, i te mea ratou i nga mea penei i te "paralyzed", kihai ahau i mohio mehemea ka taea e au te kawe i tetahi tamaiti. Ka tere ake ki te hawhe tekau tau, kua whakautua taua pātai. Ka pōwhiri a Rachelle rāua ko Chris Chapman i tā rāua kōtiro ki te ao i te 18 o Aperira, nā tētahi hoa tawhito i tono ki a rāua kia waiho ia hei tā rāua māmā. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata.

He harikoa: Ka taea e Rachelle te whakatipu tamariki engari he iti rawa te pēhanga toto. Na ka tono a Laurel, ko tana tāne me tana tama i whakaahuatia (matau), kia hapu ia i te tamaiti mo raua. Ka whānau te pēpi i te taha o te kāinga o Laurel i Asheville, North Carolina, e whā haora mai i ngā Chapman. Kāore a Rachelle i kite i a Laurel mō ngā tau e iwa engari i pāngia a Laurel e tana kōrero, ka whakapā atu ia ki a ia i runga i a Facebook. I whakaae a Chris rāua ko Rachelle he māharahara rāua, engari he harikoa ki te pōwhiri i te kotiro, kāore rāua e whakaatu i tōna ingoa. Ka mea a Rachelle, 'Kei te tino harikoa maua. He tere rawa te haere o nga mea katoa. Ka taea e te pēpi te haere mai i tetahi meneti inaianei na kua tatou i te putea rite, a kua tata katoa oti te nursery. He mea whakamiharo.' Ahakoa he kopa, ka taea e Rachelle, 29, te hapu me te hapu i te tamaiti. Ko te tikanga o tōna āhua, kua ngoikore katoa ōna waewae e whā, ehara i te mea kua mate parāoa. Heoi anō, na te tūtukitanga i iti ai tōna pēhanga toto. Kāore i taea te whakamutu i te inu rongoā, e taea ai te kino ki te pēpi, ko ia me...
