To many people zero means nothing — to us zero means everything. There are 650 kids waiting in the Minnesota foster care system. Our goal is to make that number zero, because every child deserves a family. If you can't open your home to one of Minnesota's waiting kids, volunteer your time and talents.

KSTP-Channel 5 spotlighted the Hendricks family who adopted 12-year-old Reanna and MARN on November 23. Reanna says, “I was getting tired of moving from house to house. This is the house where I can stay.”

Sung Juan

Sung Juan, aged 10, prefers to be called Juan. Creative and versatile, Juan can often be found climbing trees, being outside, drawing or painting. He has many interests that are constantly changing. Although his photo shows him proudly displaying an award from Karate tournaments, he has already moved on to the Boy Scouts that is filling the time he took for Karate lessons.

Juan takes great pride in his school work and enjoys learning. His teachers say he is a good student at school and actively participates in classroom discussion.

While equally proud of his African American and Korean bi-racial heritage, Juan would like opportunities to explore his Korean culture. Juan would benefit from a family where he can have experience one on one attention in a nurturing, structured family.

For more information on adopting Juan, contact Wendy’s Wonderful Kids Recruiter, Molly Cirillo at (651)266-4085 or molly.cirillo@co.ramsey.mn.us
