Wednesday’s Child is a part of the Dave Thomas Foundation’s national campaign to increase adoptions of children in foster care. Each Wednesday (and again on Sunday mornings), a child in foster care who is waiting for a loving, adoptive home is profiled during the evening news on WNBC 4.

This Wednesday will feature Ruth, an NYC kid! Ruth has a curious, friendly and engaging personality. This cheerful young lady enjoys all activities related to Dora the Explorer. She visits the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, and the well-loved Adventures with Dora and Diego exhibit, sponsored by Nickelodeon.

Learn more about this Dora the Explorer lover, and other waiting children, on the Dave Thomas Foundation website.

The segment will air tonight between 5:30pm to 6:00pm and will also re-air on the Sunday (6/15/14) morning news at 6:30am. Visit the WNBC Channel 4 website to view video stream of the feature if you are unable to see it at the scheduled time.
