Roberson Family
We would like to adopt a sibling group between the ages of 1 to 15 depending on the dynamics of the children.
We can accommodate a sibling group of 6 and
prefer to adopt a child of Hispanic, or Biracial,or Black ethnic background. We are open to children with special needs. More About The Roberson's.
Our names are Stanley and Linda.
I Linda am 53 years old and was born in Cincinnati.
My Husband is 58 years old and was born in Cincinnati, which is where our home is located. We have 5 minor female children and 1 son whom were all adopted.
Choreography and stage plays are things I love to do with some of my free time. I teach my children dance routines and sometimes they perform in front of others. Singing is another one of my hobbies. I like singing with my children and have karaoke with them.
Movies!! Stanley loves to watch family movies and we do too! He loves playing outdoor sports such as badminton and basketball with the children. Our children love to read books!! They love to write stories, create short plays, draw, color, make bracelets and they even want to plant a garden this year of watermelons, strawberries and more. We have plenty of yard space to do so. We are such a close family and we love one another. Our children are very loving and they are so grateful.In todays time, gratefulness is lacking, but not with our children. I am a stay-at-home parent and have a flexible schedule.
My Husband works full-time and has a fixed work schedule.
Every human being, no matter the age, disability or not, has rights. Has the right to be heard, respected, and valued, and as for our house hold, that is what we do for one another. Some of our favorite movies are
All of the Lord Of The Rings movies with it's Hobbit sequels Our children love playing outdoors! From simple games such as hop-scotch, find the hidden objects, jump rope, Frisbee, kick ball, base ball, foot ball, basket ball are just a few things we all do. At the parks we play Tennis and all of the park related activities. When we gather, we usually gather in Kitchen or Family Living room. When the children are at school, and my husband at works, I use that free time to manage business such as making doctors appointments, finances, maintaining the house hold, and some outdoor activities, talking with friends, some quiet time to reflect and spending time together. We take time to travel together as a family as well.

Movie theaters and many restaurants are also with in reach. Sing alongs. Depending on the age my child would have some personal time to play with blocks or toys of their choosing. Dancing for exercise. Coloring and crafts. Some errands with me when I have to do them. School based activities/ extracurricular. Bike riding. Outdoor sports. Dance classes. Cheerleading, riding bikes and Walking trails. Parenting Experience
Having cared for over 35 children in the foster care and adoption combined over many years is where our experience in caring for special needs children, comes from. We have raised 8 adult children and we have been married 26 years. I Linda, came from an under privileged background such as many of the children that have come into care. I had no father in my own life growing up, so I am understanding of children whom have experienced loss. Nevertheless, I am still a fun, young at heart mother, who also teaches her children and spend lots of time with them. My children respect me and we respect them as well.
Stanley has a great sense of humor. He is flexible and to the point, yet firm in a delicate way with speech. He can make the children laugh, especially when he tries to dance. lol
We are ready for yet another sibling group. We have experience of dealing with so many children over a time.
We will have to start our day a little earlier, and add extra time to our already daily routines. Cook extra, CPI. non violent communication techniques. Mufti ethnicity.
The training helps to keep things fresh in our mind as to how to deal with some situations, but actual living situations seem to be the best life trainings.

Home Study Requests
Providing a stable and loving family for children, is our motivation. Children bring so much life with them. There are so many children who need forever families, and sometime there are so many families who may want that one child or sibling group, but it can not happen that way. Only one family can be selected for a child or sibling group. Nevertheless, it gives us joy to help redirect children's lives, whom have been disrupted often times within their own biological family, but then to see the transition of what they often choose to do with their own lives, once having became adults is just amazing to us. We will continue to help children in this way for as long as we can. |
