Wednesday's Child: This 13-year-old has been in foster care most of his life. His advocates are hoping for a loving family to adopt him

Jefferey is on the autism spectrum and doesn't use a whole lot of words, but he does like talking about Mrs. Carrie Dyck. She is his Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). 

"She gives me a hug. She gives me chicken nuggets. She gives me some fries," he said with excitement.

"When he came into care, he wasn't verbal really, and now he's really verbal," Dyck said. "He's getting more verbal every day. I've known him six years."
