FRISCO, Texas — These two young brothers are hoping to live together in an adoptive loving forever home.
The oldest Omar is a bit reserved but his younger brother Marion talks a lot. But one thing's for sure, both children have very kind hearts.
Today's Wednesday's Child is 15-year-old Omar and his 12-year-old brother Marion.
Dressed to impress in a tuxedo for our taping at Active Arena in Frisco, 15-year-old Omar was playing every sport with ease.
"I like to play sports. I like the Miller's fried chicken and rice. And my favorite color is blue," he said.
The Miller family used to foster Omar and his brother Marion. It's obvious the boys felt a lot of love and safety in the Miller's home because they kept mentioning them as the standard of foster homes.
"They loved me. They fed me, they put clothes on my body. They treated me right and didn't let anyone mistreat me. Yep. They were a good home," said Marion.
Both Omar and Marion want to be adopted together and live in a home where there is attention, structure and plenty of love.
"Both the kids are very smart. Very perceptive. They have a lot of kindness in their heart," said Lisa Reed. She and her husband are the boy's court-appointed special advocates or CASA. They've known the boys for the last four years.
"They want to do a good job. They want to please people," said Reed.
She says Omar might be quiet, but he's a standout in sports. He wants to play for the NBA and she doesn't doubt he will make it.
"Omar is very athletic. He is very motivated by athletics," said Reed.
While Omar is a man of few words, his little brother Marion is talkative, especially about his big brother.
"Omar doesn't let anybody mess with me. He's a good influence and gives me what I want. I don't want to be separated from him," said Marion.
He also enjoys sports, especially football. In addition to sports, Marion enjoys learning and absolutely loves Math and reading.
"If you ever need to apply for a job if you don't know how to read then you can't get the job. Readers are leaders," Marion said.
Advocates say both boys are highly intelligent.
"He's smart," said Omar about Marion.
The brothers say the Miller's taught them to be respectful of adults and to be kind and loving. Omar and Marion would love the opportunity to continue thriving with parents who will adopt them together.
"For a family to be looking at them, caring for them and thinking what is their future about? And I want to be a part of it. They need that," said Reed.
