BLAINE, Minn. (AP) – A woman whose husband was killed during the
2007 freeway bridge collapse in Minneapolis is realizing her dream
of starting a family with the arrival of adopted twins from Haiti.
Betsy Sathers (SAY’-thurz) welcomed 2-year-old Ross and Alyse
(ah-LEES’) to her suburban Minneapolis home just days after the

earthquake in Haiti. The 33-year-old new mom says she doesn’t feel
like she rescued them, but rather that they saved her.
Sathers still wanted to be a mother after the death of her
husband, Scott. They had been married 10 months and were planning
to start a family. He was among 13 people killed when the
Interstate 35W bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River.
Sathers says that after much prayer, she began the paperwork and
was matched with the twins last summer.
