PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Last week we introduced you to 13-year-old Michael. Today, we're meeting his younger brother, Jabriel.

This 12-year-old loves the spotlight.

(Larry Kane:)  "I understand that you were in the school play?"

(Jabriel:)  "The Four Tops."

(Kane:)  "Oh, that was a great group. What turned you on about the Four Tops?"

(Jabriel:)  "I just got interested in the 1960's music."

When he's not on stage, he's thinking strategy -- on the chessboard.

"I just want to become the world chess champion," he says.

Jabriel and his brother want to find a home together.  Their social worker, Kareema Spearman, says they are inseparable.

"They deserve a forever family that can provide plenty of love, attention, structure, and just allow them to grow, prosper, and reach their full potential," Spearman says.
