Wednesday's Child: Muhammad
By Larry Kane

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Thirteen-year-old Muhammad loves watching basketball -- and wants to go pro some day.
"(I want to) either play sports," he says, "or (be an) engineer."
So, while he's working on his moves on court -- he's working hard in the classroom.
"I like cars," Muhammad says, "and I like to build things."
His raw materials these days: LEGOs. But he's already designing his hot rod of the future.
"It would be red, powerful, fast," Muhammad explains, "and it would probably be a Lamborghini."
To achieve his dreams, Gloria Hochman from the Philadelphia-based National Adoption Center says Muhammad needs a permanent family.
"He would be a terrific source of energy and fun and caring to a family," Hochman says, "because he himself is a very caring young man."
