Wednesday's Child: Annette
By Larry Kane
Produced by Timothy McLaughlin
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Annette is a thrill-seeker, whether it's scary movies -- ("Love 'em!") or amusement park rides ("I love roller coasters").
This 16-year-old loves anything that gets her heart pounding.
"Technically speaking, life technically is a roller coaster," she says. And she says it's a metaphor that describes her own life.
"I have my ups and downs, and I feel like sometimes I'll go in a complete circle and... I guess bad things happen, but then good things come."
And she's looking for a forever family who can ride life's ups and downs with her.
"Someone who's willing to, like, handle the problems that I have. And, who kind of won't abandon me. And somebody who will love me for me."
