13-year-old Tim from Texas has spent most of his life at the foster care system. He ended up there at the age of just three, and sadly, 10 years later, he still hasn\u2019t found a forever family to call his own.The sad reality is that a number of children never get a chance to be adopted. They simply age out of the system and are left to fend for themselves, with many of them ending on the streets, unable to find a job or a place to stay.<\/p>\n
Tim has always dreamed of having someone to call him their son. In fact, he wanted that so badly that his caseworkers flew with him to the other part of the country so that he could be on the Wednesday\u2019s Child program where he was given the chance to ask from the viewers to help him find a home.This loving boy, who has been going from one home to another, said he\u2019s a true angel and that his potential family won\u2019t ever have any problems with him.<\/p>\n
Throughout the program, photos of Tim from different stages of his life were shown on the screen. Back in the day, when he first entered the system, he had big bright eyes full of hope, but as years went by, he started losing that spark because he got tired of looking for security with a forever family.<\/p>\n
\u201cKind of like being in a prison without walls. You got runners, but then where you gonna [sic] go if you run? Absolutely nowhere but right back to where you ran from,\u201d he explained. \u201cI know I want a mom and dad at least,\u201d Tim added.<\/p>\n
In a mom, he\u2019s hoping to find someone caring and understanding. \u201cSomeone that cares, who\u2019s always worried. I may seem embarrassed sometimes (by her worrying) but she\u2019ll still be wondering if I\u2019m OK. She\u2019ll ask how my day is every time I walk through the door,\u201d Tim said.<\/p>\n
He dreams that his forever father would be his personal hero. Someone who will throw a ball around with him and teach him about what it means to be a man. \u201cIf I go outside, he\u2019ll go outside with me. He\u2019ll give me some normalcy.\u201d Tim said.<\/p>\n
He also said that he would love it if the family has other children too because he really wants to have siblings.<\/p>\n
