should be 'was born of'
born of sth (slightly formal) = existing as the result of something eg With a courage born of necessity, she seized the gun and ran at him.
to bear out (to be borne out) is different, and incorrect here.
bear sb/sth out = to support the truth of something eg His version of events just isn't borne out by the facts.
'to be born out of' is used in the expression 'to be born out of wedlock' (= outside legal marriage)
