Wednesday's Child: Zaire

By Larry Kane
Produced by Timothy McLaughlin

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- At seven years old, Zaire loves having fun.

"I'm a person who likes to play football and who likes art," he says.

But this young man is serious when it comes to finding a family, "because you need somebody to take care of you, and you don't want to go house-to-house and never find a house."

And he says he would love a family with pets.

Gloria Hochman, of the National Adoption Center, based in Philadelphia, says Zaire is a young charmer.

"When I asked him why a family was important to him, he told me, 'Everyone needs someone.' And he certainly does."
