Forever Families

Brothers with bright smiles hope to find their forever family
10/25/2009 3:26 PM
By: Jennifer Borget

Jonatan and brother David are looking for their forever family.  
It is almost time for Halloween, a favorite time for kids who can't wait to go trick-or-treating and pick out pumpkins to decorate.

"I want to be a white ninja," 5-year-old foster child Jonatan said.

When it came to Halloween costumes, Jonatan and his 7-year-old brother David were tough.

However, when it was time to pick out pumpkins, they weren't quite as brave.

"It has pimples on it," Jonatan said.

The boys happily patrol the pumpkin patch looking for the perfect pumpkin, free of pimples.

More Information
Jonatan and David

News 8’s Jennifer Borget introduces you to Jonatan and David, two young boys with big hearts and bright smiles.



Jonatan is curious as he looks around, showing off his brilliant smile.

"Did you take a picture?" Jonatan asked, peering inquisitively into the camera lens.

David is playful as he heaves up a bigger pumpkin to decorate.

As the boys started to paint their pumpkins, they showed their more serious sides. They talked about what they want to be when they grow up.

David wants to be a cowboy, and Jonatan wants to help animals.

David and brother Jonatan hope to be adopted together.  
The boys also know what they don't want--they don't want to keep moving around from home to home, and they don't want to be separated.

"Because I have to keep on moving a lot of places," David said.

These young brothers hope their next move will to their forever home, and promise to fill their family with laughs and love.






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
