DALLAS — A 14-year-old boy hopes his opportunity to visit the home of the Dallas Cowboys will end in a forever home for him.
Wednesday's Child, Christopher, is a STAR, so WFAA took him to a place where stars shine. It was all about seizing the moment.
"It was beautiful. Spectacular. I loved it in all of its glory," Chris said about the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Chris got a private tour of AT&T stadium. He ran onto the field, played some football and even visited Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' private suite.
"It was awesome. I got to see everything. I got to see where he actually sits and broadcasts it, and pretty much saw everything about it," he said bright-eyed.
Chris is right where he belongs, among stars.
"I have a lot of joy in life. I love music. I write and then listen. I sing a lot. I also play sports," he said about his hobbies.
Chris enjoys tossing around the football just as much as he does singing a song. One of his favorite songs to sing is "Ol' Red" by Blake Shelton. He says the song is about holding on to hope.
"I find joy in music and I want other people to experience that too," he said.
Along with being talented, Chris is incredibly sweet with a smile that lit up all of AT&T stadium. As he caught some great football passes on the Cowboys' field, it was easy to see that Chris is a catch himself.
"I just wanna [sic] have a family that actually cares for me. I want to have a home with a family and also be able to see my old one at the same time," he told WFAA.
He hopes the family who adopts him will allow him to keep in contact with his biological family. And waiting for that special family to adopt him takes patience and a lot of positive self-talk.
Chris told WFAA what he repeats to himself daily: "It's always going to be okay and things are going to be better for you."
This year, he needs all the stars to align for his wish to come true.
"I want a home," he said.
And if all goes as planned, the moment at the home of the Dallas Cowboys will lead to a home for Chris, where he will shine even brighter with the love of a family.
