9/6/2009 4:18 PM
By: Catie Beck

Fadia is 13 years old and Prince is only 1 year old.  
Fadia, David and Prince are three siblings of different ages and personalities, but the combination makes for great company.

Fadia is 13 years old, David is 7 years old and and Prince is only 1 year old.

"He's cute, like he's like really cute," Fadia said of her baby brother.

Fadia, in fact, is so taken that she said that, despite her love of sports, she plans on being a pediatrician when she grows up.

"I love babies because they're cute and they're small," she said.

Trio

News 8's Catie Beck introduces you to three siblings of different ages and personalities, who have a strong bond.



David is a fan of athletics and has a ton of energy.

"When I have to jump, I like doing that," David said.

All three have no trouble being talkative and connecting with people, and Fadia said that all three are hopeful to stay together and be adopted.

"Somebody takes you in to their home and you stay there until you're like grown up," Fadia said.

Fadia said she's tired of moving from place to place and she's tired of being known as a foster kid.
David is 7 years old and likes to play sports.  

"I'm not a big fan of the word 'foster', or 'care'," Fadia said.

She said those two words follow her to school, and make everyday a little harder. She wants to belong to someone for good.

"They look at me different, let's just put it that way," Fadia said.

She said having a family to call their own would make all the difference in the world.





Forever Families airs every week on Sunday mornings. If you'd like to know more about a child you've seen on Forever Families, contact the Adoption Coalition of Texas at (888) 441-2009.

The City of Austin plans to have the Nueces Bike Boulevard opened by late spring. The boulevard would be a multi-use path where car traffic is discouraged. How do you feel about this?
I think this is a great idea, we need more roads like this
I think it needs more public input
I don’t think this is a good idea
