A Family for Me
Across Washington state, more than 2,000 kids live in foster care while they wait for permanent families. They are legally free for adoption, and they need families to love them forever. WACAP’s nationally recognized project, A Family for Me, introduces you to kids who need what every kid should have: a family like yours.
In cooperation with Yuen Lui Photography Studios and Seattle TV station Q13/FOX, A Family for Me produces a weekly TV segment called QKids, which airs at 8:45 a.m. every Monday on Q13/FOX morning news. Hosted by Lily Jang, QKids profiles adoptable kids from around the Puget Sound region. As the QKids are introduced each week, we'll add their profiles and videos to this page. You might want to bookmark it now and return later to learn more about these great kids.
In addition to kids featured on A Family for Me, WACAP's US Kids staff have information on hundreds of other children in the United States who need homes.
This week's QKid: Micah
Micah is a friendly, energetic teen with an engaging smile. He’s intelligent and curious, and likes to help. Micah enjoys tinkering and taking things apart. He has a large collection of toy cars and is ready to try working on real cars. Micah is creative and expresses his artistic eye through photography and crafts. While school can be a challenge for him, he loves to read and his reading skills are above grade level. Micah will do well in a patient, consistent family who can surround him with love in a structured, stable environment. He thrives on having clear expectations and close supervision.
To learn more about Micah, watch his video clip in low resolution or high resolution.
