Steven- April 2001 
Robert- January 2004
These brothers are kind, loving, and funny! They need an adoptive home together. Steven can be very practical and down to earth. He can be very talkative at times, but he can also be quiet, needing his alone time. He likes Pokémon cards, drawing, and video games. He also enjoys reading. Robert is bubbly, playful, and very talkative. He likes guitar, basketball, painting, drawing, Legos, and writing stories. Both boys love animals. <
