Bobbie and Vic Sterner, parents
Title
Bobbie and Vic Sterner, parents
Text
Bobbie and Vic (pseudonyms) live in Southern California with Lizzie, her sister and two brothers.
As foster parents, they took in medically fragile infants. They are good humored and philosophical about the challenges their kids have faced. Indeed, Bobbie points out that one of their sons, who is not adopted, has autism. Parenting has its challenges, adoption-related and not, they both say.
They are proud of Lizzie. She is an enthusiastic flute player, an honorary music mascot to the basketball team and, as Vic says, `a happy, healthy kid.`
Bobbie attributes Lizzie's progress to the stability and security of their family.
“Just having the structure of a home has helped her a lot,` she said. `And knowing that she’s not going to be hurt has helped her.”
