Robin Gelinas Berkley writes, “There have been a few changes in the Berkley house ... in November 2016, my husband and I took legal custody of our godson, Amonte, who is 13. In July 2017, I gave birth to twins, James Warren and Lauren Tipton. We’ve relocated to McLean, Virginia, ( just around the corner from the CIA – I see James Comey in the grocery store all the time, and he is VERY tall), and I continue to serve as Executive Director/CEO of a D.C.- based children’s charity called Horton’s Kids.”
