Wednesday's Child is a part of the Freddie Mac Foundation's national campaign to increase adoptions of children in foster care. Each Wednesday (and again on Sunday mornings), a child in foster care who is waiting for a loving, adoptive home is profiled during the evening news on WNBC 4.

Meet Regine
Regine is a soft spoken and shy young lady but only until she is comfortable. She warms up quickly when she feels safe and is an engaging and communicative person. Regine is thoughtful and sweet and a pleasure to be around. She is liked by her peers but because of her maturity for her age, she prefers the company of adults.
Regine is very laid back and likes a quiet surrounding. Her free time is spent reading, writing and listening to music. She also likes to watch movies on television on the Lifetime channel. In school, Regine is doing very well in all of her classes. Although she likes all of her subjects, English is her favorite. Regine wants to be a nurse or a social worker when she grows up so that she can help others. Regine says she wants to help other children the way her workers have helped her.
In her lifetime, Regine has suffered many disappointments but these have not dampened her optimism about finding a family of her own. Regine is a bright, friendly young lady who would thrive in a loving, supportive family.

About Wednesday's Child
Wednesday's Child is hosted by NBC meteorologist Janice Huff, who encourages viewers to call the ACS Parent Recruitment Hotline at 212-676-WISH to learn more about the adoption process.
In April 1999, the Freddie Mac Foundation teamed up with WNBC 4 and the Administration for Children's Services to bring Wednesday's Child to New York City. Wednesday's Child, an award-winning program with a proven track record of success, began in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area in 1992. Its phenomenal success there encouraged the Freddie Mac Foundation to expand the program to other cities around the country.
