Wednesday's Child: Markus loves sports and is looking for a forever family

Born in 2003, Markus is a warm and engaging teen in foster care who holds a lot of passion for a variety of interests and enthusiastic about experiencing new things. In addition to his educational pursuits, he is athletic and loves sports. Markus had never been to Staples Center for an event, so NHL Hall of Famer and current President of the LA Kings Hockey Team, Luc Robitaille made Markus his personal guest at what would be one of the final games of the season.

Wednesday's Child: Sweet siblings Mario, Emiliano, and Ivan looking for a permanent loving family

Mario (2005, Center), Emiliano (2007, Right) and Ivan (2009, Left) are brothers who describe each other as their best friends. They’re always on the go, full of energy and spontaneity.  They love being in the outdoors. That’s not all there is to these boys – they have a knack for learning, especially on the tech side. We brought them to one of our favorite learning labs – Rolling Robots in Glendale, CA for a lesson in robotics.

Wednesday's Child: Special needs teen Jemariah needs a permanent home

Jemariah (2005) is a happy and friendly teen with some special needs. He is very active and requires a great deal of support and supervision. He enjoys all kinds of food, especially tacos, salad, and cheez-its. He loves the outdoors and likes to strut his skills with a basketball. We’re told that Jemariah loves to color and being read to, so we decided to have him try his hand at painting at the Color Me Mine in Whittier, CA.
