Hundreds of kids are waiting in foster care hoping to be adopted. We at KARK are hoping to help these kids find loving homes through our Wednesday’s Child Series.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Trust means everything. Sadly, so many kids in the foster care system have lost it after being let down by the people who were supposed to love and protect them.
This week’s Wednesday’s Child is a teenager who is wary but hopeful about finding a family he can believe in and who will believe in him.
Alex, 17, has big plans to go far in life, especially in a career.
“Welding. I want to weld or build stuff like houses, architecture,” he said of his future plans with a deep voice and physical strength can sometimes make you forget he’s still just a kid. “I like to play video games, play basketball, I like to go outside.”
