Not all heroes wear superhero capes. Sometimes they just decide to quietly change someone’s life. <\/p>\n

One such person is Lamont Thomas, who last year decided to adopt five siblings at once in Buffalo, New York. <\/p>\n

The reason for this was simple: otherwise these kids, who were all between the ages of one and five, would have been separated from each other.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lamont Thomas has always wanted to help children. On October 17, 2019, he proved this once again by adopting <\/p>\n

five children brothers and sisters. After the adoption was completed, Lamont became the proud father of 12 children.<\/p>\n

The ages of Lamont’s adopted children were 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, as reported here by ABC News in 2019. <\/p>\n

Prior to this adoption, the single father had seven more children. That’s not counting the dozens of foster children he’s taken care of over the past 20 years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lamont’s path to parenthood began in 2000 when he secured custody of a friend’s child. Lamont also has two biological children, Anthony and Lamonica.<\/p>\n

In 2007, Lamont adopted twins Jermaine and Tremaine, and later Jamie and Herman. After that, <\/p>\n

Lamont adopted Michael the very first child over whom the man had guardianship, according to ABC News.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lamont never abandoned a single child. He either supports them until they grow up and get on their feet, or can return to their families, or he himself officially adopts them.<\/p>\n

Lamont thought that he would no longer adopt children, until he learned that the children of one of his <\/p>\n

former wards needed a family so that they would not be separated. As he told in Good Morning America 2019\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2018They lived in four different houses, in four cities… They deserve to be close to their brothers and sisters, and that’s what I fought for.\u2019<\/p>\n

5-year-old Zendaya, 4-year-old Jamel, 3-year-old Nakia, 2-year-old Major and 1-year-old Michaela ended up in four different houses. <\/p>\n

This broke Lamont’s heart and he decided that the siblings should stay together.<\/p>\n

Small children give Lamont energy and he is so happy that he can provide for them. We hope his story will inspire others to think about raising children in need.<\/p>\n
