Ann Roberts mother of 7 daughters, one "home-grown" 6 adoptive, has fostered and given respite to over 40 children over the past 35 years. Appeared on Connie Chung, Good Morning America, CNN and in magazines when they won the Lottery along with 49 other Hoover employees 2 weeks before adopting the 5 girls. Raised in Ohio now resides in South Carolina writing and illustrating children's books she wrote to help their daughters adjust and feel wanted (That's NOT Your Sister!, But I WANT To Go Swimming!, and How I Got My Mommy Dot) with her current book "The Making of a Foster & Adoptive Parent" for adults. Writing this book was healing and when started God would not have been mentioned but as Ann was molded the book formed. Years in Graphic Arts and Retail have filled in spaces between fostering along love of redecorating children's rooms, sewing, crafts, building/restoring homes. Volunteering, The love of travel, opening hearts to the possibility of fostering and/or adopting children is leading down a new path of publishing and speaking engagements and even venturing to Africa on a mission trip to visit 2 boys they are sponsoring for schooling. God is not done molding me yet and look forward to the many surprises and challenges he has ahead for us.
