TLC's Seeking Sister Wife returned for an all-new episode on Monday night, and this week, tensions were seen running high as Danielle and Garrick awaited an answer from Roberta.
The couple needed to know if she was ready to move to the US or if she was going to stay in Brazil. In the end, much to their relief, Roberta assured them that she was excited to move to the US.
Despite telling Danielle and Garrick precisely what they wanted to hear, viewers were suspicious and speculated that Roberta will eventually stay back in Brazil. They claimed that she didn't want to move to the US because she didn't want to leave her mother. Some fans also speculated that Roberta didn't want to move because she wasn't that interested in their lifestyle.
Episode 12 of Seeking Sister Wife, titled An Emotional Rollercoaster, featured Danielle and Garrick in Brazil. They decided to visit Roberta in hopes of convincing her to move to the US with them and start a new family.

After talking things out and solving the ongoing issue, Danielle, Roberta and Garrick headed back to where they were staying. The next day, the Seeking Sister Wife stars broke the news to Roberta about her plane tickets to the US. They had booked it for her, and she had four weeks to move there to start a new life with them.
The couple wanted to make sure that Roberta was serious and comfortable with moving to the US and that she had no regrets. Roberta assured them that she was ready.
During her confessional, Roberta shared:
"I am very excited. But, on the other hand, I have to say goodbye for a long time. So my heart is very hurt."
She told the couple that it was a difficult moment for her as she had to bid goodbye to her mother. Roberta added that despite that, she was happy to move to the US because she had been waiting to move in with them for a long time.
