Wednesday's Child

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.

Happy New Year from Wednesday’s Child! The year 2020 marks 25 years of the Wednesday’s Child program, a partnership between KTTV-Los Angeles FOX 11 News and DCFS to find adopting families for a population of children in foster care who face more barriers than others in reaching permanency.

As we ring in the New Year, we take a look back at a ceremony this fall at the Board of Supervisors’ meeting, honoring FOX 11 for its on-going partnership with LA County in helping children to achieve permanency.

A special Christmas delivery for a Wednesday's Child family. See how the folks at FedEx Care's made their wishes come true.   

Cristeina (2007) is a personable child. She enjoys the outdoors and going to the movies, mall, library and the park. She also enjoys drawing; anything artsy, listening to music, putting puzzles together, and reading (especially Korean Comic books). Cristeina is always up for exploring new things and different dimensions of the arts. With that in mind, Cristeina was given a chance to see a theater production media day where members of the media interviewed the cast of the Lythgoe Family Panto’s 10-Year Anniversary production of A Snow White Christmas.

Christopher (2007) is a sweet, engaging boy with a warm and playful spirit. He’s calm in demeanor and enjoys one on one time with people he’s close to, such as his CASA volunteer and social workers. In many ways, he reminds people of an “old soul."

Meet Felipe (2006), a very kind and affectionate child with some special needs. He is friendly and polite, and enjoys engaging in conversations on just about anything. Felipe is very easy-going and gets along with everyone in just about every setting. While sports aren’t Felipe’s forte, he was such a “sport” when presented with the opportunity to go ice skating for the first time at the Bai’s Holiday Ice Rink at Pershing Square.

Happy Thanksgiving from Wednesday's Child!
