PIECES FROM NEWS ARTICLE
Today the 26-year-old mother of two cleans, feeds and plays with her children from a wheelchair. Merri is expecting a third child in November. She is thought to be the only woman with OI to bear three children and probably will end up a new statistic in medical journals.


Merri has an associate in arts degree from Maricopa Technical Community College, where she met her husband, Allen.

She lists her occupation as mother and housewife, considering this equal to any outside job. “I would like to be an example for any handicapped person contemplating marriage and wanting to have children. I have had people who don’t really know me say I can’t have kids and shouldn’t get married.”

Merri Roberson doesn’t talk much about herself. “My breaks ended when I was 10,” she said. “My concern is for my kids now.”

“These kids are mature beyond their years,” Frame said. “They don’t feel sorry for themselves. Their mom sees to it that they lead lives as normal as possible. They’re a great family.”

“We aren’t worried about our selves,” Merri Roberson said.
