Wednesday's Child: John

By Larry Kane
Produced by Timothy McLaughlin

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Ten-year-old John loves playing sports with his friends.

"I play football, basketball, baseball," he notes, "but the one I'm really good at is baseball, because I can swing the bat really good."

He also likes rap music:

"I make up my own songs."

And he's looking for a permanent family who will love him.

"A family means to me they're going to be respectful and caring and loving," he says.

(Kane:)  "What would you give back to that family?"

(John:)  "Respect."
