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.
Michael is a charming, sweet boy with an incredible smile. He is usually in a good mood and is always up to try something new. Michael is a curious child who isn't afraid to ask questions. He is open minded, friendly and likes to have a good time. Michael is also very active and likes to keep busy or entertained. Michael has many interests from animals to computer games to Pokemon cards. In his spare time he likes to play outside or play video games but Michael's favorite pasttime is dancing. He admits he isn't that good but he enjoys it anyway because it is fun. When he grows up, Michael says he wants to be a police officer because they help people. For now, he is enjoying his third grade class, especially math which is his favorite subject. In a family, Michael needs warm, patient people who are willing to meet him at his level and work with him to deal with his feelings. The family needs to have experience with children who have emotional special needs and be willing to advocate for services Michael may need in the future.

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.
