The single dad later learned that the boys had two sisters, Marionna and Makayla. They lived in the same foster care system but went to separate homes. The siblings hadn’t seen each other for six months.

When Robert brought the brothers to the foster home to see their sisters, all burst out crying. They all missed their siblings and didn’t want to separate from each other.
There was something that tightened inside when the single dad saw that scene. He could feel what the siblings felt as he used to live in foster care. He even had 9 siblings and didn’t see his youngest brother from the time he was two until he was sixteen. This hurt.

Siblings are very important for children in foster care homes. They are the only people whom they find comfort. Their sibling’s presence helps them adjust to their new living environment.

Robert couldn’t see 5 siblings separate from each other. They didn’t want them to suffer the pain of separation. And, he decided to expand his family, adopting Marionna and Makayla on October 30, 2020.
“They didn’t want to leave each other, and at that moment, I knew, ok, I have to adopt all five,” he said.
