"No way were we going to split them up": Local foster parents adopt 5 siblings

- CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Five young children, all related, were adopted on Thursday by their foster parents.
“No way were we going to split them up.”
That was the message from a foster mom and dad who are no longer foster parents. Now they're just parents.
Every court case has a number, but behind every number there is a person, or in this case, five.
Five children, the oldest age 12, the youngest age 2, were all adopted by their foster parents.
“We can't separate them, it's about the kids,” said Wil Rom, who is now the father of the five kids.
The kids, 12-year-old William, 9-year-old Truth, 6-year-old Mariana, 3-year-old Keyora, and 2-year-old KJ are all siblings or half siblings with the same mom.
Wil and Julie Rom took the youngsters in as foster children between 2014 and 2016 and then decided to adopt them all at once.
“There was never a second guess. It was a package, a package deal,” said Wil.
Judge Ralph Winkler presided in the creation of one big happy family.
“The kids would miss each other if we had to separate them and most of the time they do get separated, which is a sad thing for the children. But these kids get to stay together forever,” said Judge Ralph Winkler.
“We went from a three-bedroom ranch to a five-bedroom two-story. But it's for the kids. It's best to keep them together,” said Julie.
Others sharing the joy on Thursday were friends, family and even a former teacher of the two oldest kids.
“I look at these two boys right now and they are alive right now. Their eyes are bright with wonder. I could not be more grateful to Julie for letting former teachers in who have a piece of their heart in these children, to let them know that they're okay and I’m grateful to you for letting me be here for this process,” said Ann Boyle, a former teacher of the kids.
A lot of the time, people who are in a courtroom are either unhappy, in handcuffs, or both. That was definitely not the case on Thursday.
Court is adjourned. The family is in session.
I took in 3 siblings they were about to split up. I’m a single mum of two so I had only planned on helping one child but when I heard about them I took them immediately and I love them so much and they all treat my youngest daughter like a queen cause she’s losing her eyesight. I love all 5 of my kids 💯
Hello

AMEN ❤

And may the blood of Jesus, continue to keep them all in the sun, and the light, and his favor.
I love that Mom has the girls hair in braids. That shows effort on her part. 🙌🏾
Tiger I. F. R. Tiger If you adopt a black kid you need to do everything you can to learn about them. Including their hair! Yes it shows she cares enough figure it out.
@Tiger I. F. R. Tiger you are an ass
Tiger I. F. R. Tiger spoken like a true person who never styled 4c hair. Thanks for letting us know you don’t belong in the convo 👍
@Tiger I. F. R. Tiger ur dumb
@Tiger I. F. R. Tiger that is huge coz taking care of black hair is like having a part time job, no kidding, contrary to popular belief we actually like to jump in the pool, but a lot of times it's the hair, coils up and gets real kinky fast
I am adopted and know how hard it is to grow up without your siblings. I just wanted to tell this couple thabk you for keeping these babies together.
They way the little girl said "I happy" melted my heart 😭❤️😭❤️

This is 2019, but God please bless this entire family. Guard them from public opinion and racism. Bless the mom and dad with prosperity and much love for their undertaking. Beautiful!
AMEN
@@angelayd2535 It's 2020 and Pray these kids, Adopted Mom....Do Not think her adopted Boys SHOULD be Racially Profiled or Will commit more Crime....JUST because they are Black!
Amen
@@angelayd2535 Amen and Amen
What a beautiful prayer!
I agree.
This is the other America that I love so much! I am not an American, but I know they are amazing people like this in that country. People with big hearts and filled with love. I really loved this video. May God bless them abundantly!
Samuel Williams the other America I don't know what you mean by that but the United States is the most charitable country as far as people on the individual basis in the world so I don't know what you're talking about there when people break their necks to come to this country not the other way around so yeah
american charity? at what cost to the recepients? charity my ass.
Samuel Williams what are you if ur not american🤔
Susie Bear33 in the World yeah nazi america
Dennis E at least trump isn't a criminal with a list of bodies and crimes trailing his every move like killary...🙄
You can tell by the appearance and demeanor of the children that they are cared for. Blessings to this man and women and may their lives be a healthy, happy one.👏👏👏👏👏
Wow tears running thank God for these family God bless you all I pray that everything you all wish and pray for come through this is Hart warming my blessings to you mom and Dad
MsTrish627 No you cannot. The fact is, no one can tell about many kinds of abuse until much later.
Read the cases, most of the time the horrors only come out after the kids are grown and/or 1 gets hurt. Google it.
Different races should not be allowed to adopt minority kids or to foster them.
Kids should not be "sold" to adoptive patents.
It is human trafficking.
queenbeethatme100 Your points are valid & some even make sense.. but how many minority adults are actually in line waiting to help the THOUSANDS of children currently in the system? And out of those adults, how many actually have the necessary means to provide, protect & support these children? Idk the true number but I will say its very FEW as opposed to white adults.. It doesnt make it "okay" for white ppl to continue to adopt minority kids & abuse them but facts are facts. Until more minorities STEP UP & actually heed to "it takes a village..." unfortunately our Black & brown babies will continue to be left behind, discarded and forgotten smh
at least they are out of the slums...
+Flower Power
All black people don't live in "The slums" that's being closed minded and stereotypical👎
Have you not witnessed what's considered "white, trailer-park trash" ?
There's poor people in every race, crime in every race etc.. Let's show more love towards each other and stop all the hate
I was adopted and that feeling was a amazing and I love how this story ended.. God you are so wonderful
Amen
The teacher had me tearing up 😭
Me too!
Same! Oh man! ❤❤❤❤❤
Please protect them God.
Love you beautiful
DeeRayOfSunshine I’m pretty sure the white parents are going to do that, no need for a imaginary friend
Humanless God this guyy
Humanless God gave you a brain use it well
Humanless God dumbass!
Having adopted two of my foster kids, who were siblings, I must APPLAUD this wonderful family!!!
I would love to know how those kids are doing now. I hope they have joy every single day of their lives. ❤️
I'm crying 😭😭😭 God bless this happy family
AIN'T THIS FAMILY AWSOME❤❤
Same here. Tears of happiness... ♥️
I love this! Fun fact the judge who got them adopted got my brother adopted :)
Aa thats so sweet!!
Awesome!
don't lie
@@Mhats i’m not lying lol
@@aquariusgonemad3607 lol
"Are you happy today?"
"Yah I happy"
That teacher made me cry. There are really a lot of decent people in this world and we need to see these stories every single day. I am so happy for these children. The deserve all the happiness and blessings God has for them.
Wow! What big hearts these parents have.. & color didn't matter one bit.. makes me tear up.. glad to know there are still good decent people out here. May all of you be blessed.
Mrssewhardtoplease and? We have things to get through in our country but stories like this gives our country hope. So stop it.
Mrssewhardtoplease
you got it right... I am American.. it's such a shame our country is so divided... not all but alot.. You must be European? Lucky lucky you.
Peace
Mrssewhardtoplease it takes time. It took time in Britain but they got there. And things aren't going downhill. There are more people against racism than there are for. Things are changing in this country. When I was a kid gay marriage was not possible. I was born during the time where AIDS was wiping out a lot of people and gays were being killed. Just because things seem to be going bad doesn't mean we intend to keep it that way. And I've seen a huge wave of xenophobia in Europe so please don't act like racism isn't exclusive to the states
That’s so good. This made me cry

@David Connor stop scamming people ...
They are a blessed parents to five childrens... God will provide for their kindness couple
I just left my job a month ago as a foster care worker of 11.5 years. And I never get used to hearing adoption success stories especially one of this nature! It takes incredible amounts of courage to adopt 5 children! This road may be bumpy from time to time however in the end it will be very rewarding as well💕.
May God bless this couple those were some powerful words “We couldn’t split them up we had to keep the kids together” this woman has a ❤️ of gold in her husband’s words “It’s a package deal” you can literally see the relief in those kids faces I’m glad they were able to stay together because every child deserves a loving & stable home 💯 I’m glad they allowed their teacher to be a part of this amazing event........ Keep up the great work and may God bless you all 👏🏾 all the kids look really well put together they’re in great hands 🙏🏿
TH-cam knew I needed this. Too much hate in the world. We need to be reminded there is still love
Warms My Heart💜🙏
May God continue to Bless Mom, Dad and their 5 adopted children. Beautiful🌷
Hello Teresa
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
Okay, I cried! This was so beautiful! We need more people like them!
What an amazing thing to do for eachother!! Children got parents and Parents got children. God bless them all 🙏🙏🙏
Mad love for the parents who stepped in and took on this major responsibility. Not only are they blessed to have such loving and nurturing hearts but these kids are blessed to have parents who provide unconditional love, patience, time and a home. I love how the kids adore them so much. They have such a beautiful family, God bless you all and enjoy life as one😃
Aw hearing the little girl say “yah I happy” my heart melted
So nice my heart melted may they have happy great future as a loving family
Thank you for keeping them together. My God bless you
Marvin.....thank you it's a mess lol
First of all we need to stop using the word race when it comes to humans .. there is only one human race.
Sure, we have different cultures but there is only one race.
Some are pale and some have color due to the fact of evolution and people wouldnt have survived without it.
Did you know that the color is because of the melanin in our skin? It turns that color because of the sun, and the genetics in parents make their children's skin that color too. We are all the same, but some people are too focused on color. It's sad.
@@NoName-fd6bc There are some genetic changes too but i do agree with you on that
Amen! The human race is the only one that matters!
THANK GOD!!!!!! Someone else realizes this!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Good luck with that scenario. I'm 60 and Hispanic, nice as hell but still deal with Stupid Ignorant people. Not just old generation but the new generation.
Lord help this world but we all know Earth is the Devil's playground..
So stand up to people who behave like this.
Just love one another cause one day WE will ALL BE GONE!!!
Such a beautiful loving couple with the willingness to keep these kids together. We need more love like this couple who are real heroes. May god continue to bless them all, so beautiful.
How wonderful. The children look so happy.
You can see the love in their eyes this couple 👫 is amazing.
Hello Carmen
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
This is soooo beautiful...God Bless Them.
Blacks needs to adopt white kids too. We need to share the burden.
Love from Botswana ❤.
What does that mean ?
@@liama4199 that is easily one of the most racist comment I ever read.
Do this suppose to be funny my aunt has a foster child who's 3 who we love so much because he's being with us since he was born that I hope she do adopt him my son and him are the best of friends so what's your point.
@@liama4199 Tell you what, if you find it necessary to name call then address the individual. Please don't insult an entire race of people based on one person's comment. We're not all alike and we don't all share the same views and opinions.
Love you Brother. I am White and My Mom adopted me when I was 3 years old. She was a Single Black Woman and I thank God every day for her,

I love this!! ❤ God please protect them all on this journey!! 🙏
A lot of responsibility! 😅 Thank you for loving these children!
This is such a beautiful thing what you guys did for these children. I come from a family of 6 siblings and we weren't able to stay together. Over the years we lost contact with each other and after many many years we finally were able to have a family reunion. We hadn't all been together since we were young it had been 20 something years in the making.
Hello Kate
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
I’m crying, thanking God for people like these who see a need and step up. those children are going to make you proud parents. and let me add this, Your heavenly reward is awaiting you..
wow, I can see adopting one, but all four. They are one of a kind.
That's an incredible gesture. Splitting kids up is simply cruel. There's no way it won't leave a serious mark on them mentally.
This warms my heart! It’s so beautiful they were able to keep them together!
Amen
That's What I'm talking about keeping the kids All Together☺☺
God Bless All of Them Along With the rest of the World Amen Amen. Coming From A Mother
Thank you Foster Parents. You’ve done a wonderful thing.
Bless those people. Im crying
This family melted my heart
Wow, there are good people in this world. This couple are amongst the best.
WOW, WOW !! Beautiful family. 💕💕💕💕💕
Blessings may they NEVER lack anything further for their NEW journey in Jesus name! ❤❤❤ this! GOD is ❤ not color!🙏😘
This Couple embodies A Genuine Love that’s very rare
I'm restoring my faith in Humanity. What a wonderful family..!
God bless this couple that adopted all 5 children!
9 year old Truth looks like he is ornery! 😂 That smirk on his face! I love this story!! ❤️
May God bless this couple who have so much love in their big hearts.
I would love to see a follow up story in 10 years. I'm so happy for those children. Family is EVERYTHING! I'm sure their biological mother is grateful to that couple for taking care of them while she couldn't continue to do so.
Hello 👋
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe

Beautiful family. Love has no color. We all are human and we need to see that kids don't look at stuff like that all they want is love and to see someone cares about them. ❤
Bless the couple, they gave hope for a better world 🙏
wow thank you mommy and daddy may God bless you always they are no longer to be in the system to get fondled around in prayer remember all the children that are allowed to be abused

One big happy family .God Bless them all
Wow, yall are good people, Bless You!!!
God bless this family and all family’s for ever amen
I hope the judge and all the necessary enforcement's have closely thought through and have done major background checks for the adopting "parents" and hope the children will be safe, not abused, nor neglected. There are too many monsters in the world sick enough to do harm or treat children less than human beings. I honestly think someone or cps should have somewhat of regular wellbeing checks, you honestly never know.
Jordy Prospero: "There are too many monsters in this world sick enough to do harm or treat chlidren less than human beings".......like their biological mother?!
No Jordy, they didn't do background checks. They just put an ad in the paper. SMH. WTF do you think the process is for people to become foster parents? Not all foster parents are good, but these people would have been thoroughly vetted for the adoption. Geeze. Where do you think those kids came from? Disney world?
All adoptions include background checks. Is it so hard to believe these people are good people? Why would you put quotations on parents, they are officially their parents now.
Hilary C Right wtf
Background checks mean nothing they can have a clean plate and still do the horror things. Everyone just pray these kids r loved and safe coz their foster dad trying to kiss the girl in the pic looks abit funny to me I just hope he is a good man and doesn’t hurt them kids. God bless them pls
That's Love...
Such a beautiful story and good people.
May God bless you .It is a blessing to grow up in a good home
Blessings to them all
My mom did this for me an my 4 sisters to keep us together and she also adopted 5 other kids ...10 in total over 20yrs!!! I'm truly blessed for this because who knows where me or my sisters would have been!!
God bless your mom... Their are great humans on earth
The woman of my dreams will be like your mom! And I’ll be the luckiest and proudest father and husband of the world...
Well, something less than 10! God bless her and you all!!
love from Italy
Wow. What an amazing angel your mom is.
YOUR MOM HAD 10 KIDS!!! WOOW! Goose Bumps! My two are working me up! Tell her that a stranger sends her much love
What a wonderful women she sounds like. I also had my 'dad' adopt me and my brother and he truly was the best gift I could of had as a child!
Never split up siblings. That is so traumatic. Yay, They are now one big happy family.
It hurts each day, being away from my son, Proud of what he has become. Mom of four, God s gift, State of IL, removed my youngest son 16 years old today, pain & love never goes away.. 1/07/2021🌹💜❤️
@@pamelademuynck8740 what happend to him?
Cantetinza17 i wouldnt spit up any family including my future cat if it has kittens because all animals are mothers too and love their children
@@itsraraxmeowd2510 Well enjoy your kitty kat family. When I was growing up my Grandmother was the same. We lived on a farm with dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, chickens, chicks, Rooster, pig and piggy the list could go on and on! Loved it!
It is traumatic and it does change everything!
I know because it happened to me and my siblings. I was the one seperated. We talk but i will never have the bond that they have with each other
dad be like “it’s a package, a package deal” ❤️✨
A perfect example of a real man stepping up to the plate...
Cute little girl said "Yeah I'm happy" in the cutest clearest voice!!
and he gets "not racist" points for it, so double jeopardy
@@Mhats what does that have to do with absolutely anything ??? He adopted them because he loves them not because of their race
Mothers and fathers come in all colors, sizes, religions and countries but they all come with love!
In this case, a very large angel !
amen preach it
Thank you. So true LOVE makes you family.
Amen..
Amen to that, Ms. Linda!
when it comes to loving a child, color does not matter. The only thing that matters is that these beautiful have loving, caring and giving parents who will give them a new life
Yeah u noticed that 370 haters some people will just hate even without any reasons stupid bastards.
Wonderfully said.
Love is colorblind. God bless this family
because color doesnt exist in human, is either dark skin, light skin, or in between tan skin or finally pale skin. And race is only one, the human race.
Samantha Harper -Truth Be Told this has got nothin to do with what went on in the vid but can I ask why did you spell colour wrong
Wish there were more people like them. "It's about the kids." Sometimes parents forget that.
Yeah their biological parents apparently did...no worries they are better off now
“Are you happy?”
Little Girl: “Ya I happy”
Awwwh 😍
She is such a cutie
@Kadeja Mccutchin who made you angry???
@rohara g a priceless quote from that adorable little gem.
That was so precious 💕
It was the cutest thing I've heard
the teacher really made me tear up, you can see the love and worry she had for them and the relief upon her knowing their safe.
Same here sadly I was one like away from your 100th 99😂
She was likely a teacher to them when they were with their birth parents. The way she talks about how seeing them happy and safe brings her joy is most likely because she saw them at their worst. Could have even been the one who made the first call to CPS. Regardless she is a wonderful human.
@@katelynwilliams7147 " is most likely because she saw them at their worst"
that is indeed likely. people either turn a blind eye, or don't want to be overzealous. she made the right call, and can be proud of herself.
@HoezMad Amen!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Same here. There are alot of good people in this world, you just don't hear enough about it.
The racism against the couple is heartbreaking. They are giving these beautiful children a future and you people are pointing out race.
AliSakurai Indeed! If the parents were supposedly suspect, they would not have bothered adopting the 12-year-old boy at least, who would probably understand and recall anything hurtful done. If they had any malign intentions, they would have simply adopted the youngest few whom could be easily influenced.
Wow,I hope you don't display this attitude in front of your poor kid.
SMiles and the Twisted MD I think you misunderstood Meme Johnson's comment. She said "parents come in all races". She just wanted to point out that good parenting is possible regardless of race, and you just accused her of being racist, you called her bitch and you tried to belittle black mothers citing stats without any sources. Well... wasn't it a bit harsh without any real reason?
I love the way these children love their parents whether blood or not. God bless this family union.
"They are giving these beautiful children a future and you *people are pointing out race."* It's what racists do.
