There was a wonderful man named Robert Carter who showed us that love can make families grow big and strong. Robert decided to be a single dad and adopted three amazing boys: Robert Jr., Giovanni, and Kiontae, in December 2019. His heart was full of love, and his journey into fatherhood brought him lots of joy.
But one day, he discovered something special..
The boys had two sisters, Marionna and Makayla, who lived in different homes. They hadn’t seen each other for a long six months, and it made them very sad. When Robert brought the brothers to meet their sisters, something magical happened. Tears of happiness flowed, and they didn’t want to be apart any longer.
Robert understood their feelings deeply because he, too, had grown up in foster care with nine siblings. He knew the pain of not being able to see family, especially the youngest brother, for many years. This hurt his heart, and he didn’t want the siblings he had just met to feel the same pain.
Robert decided to do something incredible..
He expanded his family and adopted Marionna and Makayla on October 30, 2020. The family of four became a family of six, and it was a moment filled with love and joy. Stacey Martin, who helps with adoptions, was amazed because she had never seen a single dad adopt five siblings before. But she knew it was perfect because she saw the love they shared.
Now, Robert is raising all five children, and even though it’s not always easy, he believes it’s worth it. The siblings are finally together, living in a cozy house filled with laughter and love. Thanks to their amazing dad, Robert Carter, their dream of being a happy family came true. And they all lived happily ever after. The end.
