Wednesday's Child: Capri

By Larry Kane
Produced by Timothy McLaughlin

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Capri is a budding artist.  But instead of a paintbrush and canvas, she's using nail polish and fingernails.

"That's like another way to express art," she says.  "It's like little canvases on your hand.  I don't know how to do animal prints yet, but I do flowers and stuff. And patterns, like Aztec patterns."

She attended beauty school but decided she wants to be an ultrasound technician.

"I wanted to do nursing, but I don't want to do stuff with blood," she admits.  "Plus, I like babies."

Even though she's 20 years old, Capri says, she's still looking for a family.

"I'm still applying for college, but I need a place to come back to -- like everybody needs a place to come back to.  Like, the place to call home.  And I've never had that."

 

For more information about adopting Capri or any other child, go to the National Adoption Center's  web site, www.adopt.org, or call 215-735-9988.
