matching the description of the one involved abandoned near the roosevelt bridge, evidence found inside included a rifle that traced back to ortega. now they need your help. >> he has several dots tattooed on his hand. and on the left side of his neck he has israel tattooed on him. one of the tattoos on hs back has the name ortega. we have tattoos on him of rosary beads and hands clasped in prayer. these are pretty distinctive and i think somebody may recognize him. >> at this point detectives cannot confirmed if shots were actually fired. u.s. park police say it does not appear the white house was a target. now, over to maryland where the suspect in a deadly double shooting is dead. witness information led police to the 8100 block in district heights maryland. this possible suspect james

coleman was shot and killed by prince george's county police in a shoot-out. he is believed to be responsible for the deaths of a man and a woman at a mall friday night. police found dunn seen here on twitter and green shot to death outside the mall in the parking lot. there's no word on a possible motive. taking a look at our weather for today, another clear start this morning. >> yes. filtered clear skies for now. gradual increase and some high, thin cirrus clouds. certainly isn't going to keep our occurs from jumping well into the 60s. >> everyone was out and about. >> everyone was in a good mood too. >> and a lot of fun festivals going on. and the big tweed ride. so good riding weather. >> almost too warm. you can almost complain. if you had to have something to complain about in november, maybe a degree or two too warm.

we are seeing mid and high listen level clouds from the west and southwest. that's not going to interfere with what should otherwise be a very nice day. a lot milder this morning than yesterday morning. check out these morning temperatures. upper 40s around town. even still near 50 degrees by the chesapeake bay. 49 in annapolis. 50 in the naval air station. charlotte hall, good morning to you. 45 in fredericksburg this morning. there are some cool pockets out there. frederick in the upper 20s. manassas below freezing. on the whole a pretty nice way to get the day started. temperatures fairly mild. nothing showing up on radar. a dry day today. filtered sunshine is how i would describe it. mild. a little hint of south to southwesterly breeze. temperatures well up into the mid-60s. even tomorrow when skies go from partly to mostly cloudy, it's going to stay warm. tomorrow is back to work and school temperatures up near 70

depress. we average about three 70-degree days in the month of november. we haven't had any yet. we may get one or two thrown in there today, tomorrow or tuesday. penn state fans finally got a chance to move o. yesterday the nittany lions played their first game since the sexual abuse scandal rocked the university. instead of running out onto the field they walked out arm in arm. both teams as well as fans had a moment of silence to show their support to the alleged victims. it was a close game for penn state. they ultimately lost to nebraska. but the score was irrelevant. as news 4's chris gordon tell us, fans just wanted a chance to move forward. >> the penn state band marched into the stadium wearing blue

ribbons, dedicated to abuse awareness. these demonstrators came from ohio. >> we are here to call any victims of abuse to please step forward. i know it's very painful. you will have support. >> student groups displayed signs and collected money. >> childhelpusa.org. >> fans crowded around the statue of former coach joe paterno, whose firing led to wednesday night's violent student protest. paterno was blamed for not reporting to police assistant coach jersey sandusky for allegedly preying on young boys sexually. they are from chantilly, virginia. >> we hope we can move beyond the devastation we just had this week. >> and we care about the victims as well. we're praying for them and we're praying for everybody involved. >> security was tight at the stadium. all bags were searched.

at one point there was a bomb threat. police on a roof. a special operations unit called in. but it all proved to be a false alarm. the football game was close. penn state lose to go nebraska, 17-14. >> it was a tough loss without joe paterno. there are a lot of lessons learned. i think penn state will have a long road back after this. >> there's a famous slogan here, we are penn state. it is on that foundation that they hope to build the future. that's the latest from state college, pennsylvania. i'm chris gordon, news 4. it was an especially difficult week for the paterno family. yesterday quarterback coach jay paterno became emotional when asked about the firing of his father earlier this week. >> just how proud i am of him. dad, wish you were here. we love you. go. >> penn state's game without joe

paterno on the sidelines was the first since 1950 when he started out as an assistant coach. jay paterno also saying before the game he went to see his father, dropped off a love letter, or a letter with a loving message for him. >> that's awfully nice. >> very emotional on many fronts. >> that whole coaching staff in many respects is very much part of a family. >> yeah. >> even guy who stepped in as interim coach has been on the staff 33 years. tough stuff for them. but i think they're going to make it. >> i think the healing process has begun. >> absolutely. and that's all you can ask. >> yes. >> for us we have a little bit of sunshine coming our way and what promises to be a very mild finish to your weekend. how long will the mild air stick around? we'll talk about that in the forecast coming up. verizon 4g lte.

welcome back. maryland looked to end its losing streak to notre dame on national television. hakim dermish has highlights from a busy saturday of sports on this morning's sports minute. >> reporter: good morning, everyone. your sports minute begins with college football. last night maryland playing notre dame at fedex field. and the fighting irish just way too much. danny o'brien picked off by wood. wood returns it 57 yards for the touchdown. notre dame takes a 38-7 lead. things go from bad to worst. o'brien scrambling. taken down hard by dan fox. o'brien breaks a bone in his left arm. he's out for the rest of the season. he falls 45-21. terps have lost six in a row. penn state playing its first game without head paterno as head coach. down 10 until this.

family reunion. before the sabres/bruins game darryl and lori were ready to drop the ceremonial first puck in honors of veterans day. they got a huge surprise as their son showed up center ice. look at them crying. jacobs has been in afghanistan for the past seven months but was recently granted leave. they dropped the ceremonial first puck together. i can't think of a better way to spend your veterans day. thank you to all the servicemen and women out there. can't say it enough. i know you said that. you had a great tweet this weekend. it was very inspirational. >> i said there may not be peace everywhere in the world but there is peace at arlington cemetery where i was running and taking great fall photographs. it's just so important. so important. my dad served in the navy. it's an important thing to shake a hand and remember these are people doing an awful lot for

us. >> and we have had great weather. veterans day weekend here in washington has been off the charts nice around here. a little breezy and cool on friday. the weekend itself just turned out beautiful around here. hopefully you had a chance to get outside, enjoy all the mild temperatures. they'll stick around for another couple days. if you haven't had your chance just yet, pick your favorite hammock and book and spend your afternoon enjoying it. mostly clear sky. we are going to see a gradual increase in high, thin clouds during the course of the day today. it will dim out the sun just a touch. just a wonderful day to be outside enjoying the weather. great by november standards. mostly clear skies in washington. 47 degrees. you probably noticed. yesterday morning at the same time we were in the mid-30s. a full dozen degrees warmer than the same time yesterday. light breeze southwest at 6 miles per hour. and temperatures in a pretty big

range. in town and alongside the bay are mildest. gaithersburg, upper 30s. dulles, upper 30s. warrenton to manassas, 34 degrees. there are some pockets of chill first thing. but because of the relatively mild start and the fact we have the southwest pushing warmer and warmer in, it will be a nice day today. partly to mostly sunny. gradual increase in cloud cover. look at these temperatures. mid-60s today. 5 to 7 degrees warmer than average. here you can see a veil of cloud cover. no rain drops showing up anywhere close to us. dry for today. dry for tomorrow as well. really a superb sunday. mild weather will stick around. today, mid-60s. tomorrow and tuesday now it looks like up close to the 70-degree mark before this weather front finally starts to inch its way closer to us. it's not going to be racing in.

it will be sort of creeping over the appalachians. tuesday before the sun comes up is our next best chance for rain. so for today filtered sunshine. mild. a little hint of a breeze. 10 to 20 miles per hour, mid-60s. skies go from partly to mostly cloudy. that south breeze will continue to pump the warmer air in. mild one with highs up close to the 70-degree mark. same story on tuesday. but cloudy skies. a pretty good chance of rain. maybe some thunderstorms around here on tuesday. that will linger into tuesday night. wednesday, that's when the cooler air starts to sneak over the mountains. by thursday, friday, saturday time frame back to the chilly weather we're used to. average is 38. >> shouldn't be surprised.

all right. thank you, chuck. >> you're welcome. >> next up is reporter's notebook, stories affecting your community. we'll be back in 15 minutes with your top stories and forecast. good morning. welcome to reporter's notebook. i'm pat lawson muse. it appears the election of two new gop senators has given republicans control of the virginia state senate. it was a close race in the 17th district. reeves leads democrat houck by 220 votes. if the ruts hold the senate would have 20 republicans and 20 democrats. this is essentially a tie. it sounds like. unless you throw the lieutenant governor in there, who is republican. >> that's right. he'll cast the tie-breaking vote. now the republicans are ready to push ahead on a strong agenda. a lot of things they couldn't get through before. with the added strength they

picked up seats in the house. so they have probably the most dominant position they have had if this holds and people think they have than they had in a generation. but the question is some of the issues that the republicans want to move ahead on are social issues. might be controversial with election year coming up. and there's the thought that governor mcdonald wants to be named vice president possibility with somebody who is on the ticket. would the flack that comes from what he wants and what republican leaders want, might that get in the way of his ambition. >> so did the governor get what he wanted here? does either side really win? jerry? >> well, a heard a "washington post" columnist say be careful what you wish for. >> yeah. >> mcdonald, of course, i think he looks at this two sides. one, he attacked obama in his statements saying this was great but this is against obama which shows that he most likely has

eyes for a national ticket. but in addition to that, the fact is there's some issues here that mcdonald, who is much more moderate than some of these other republicans that they want when it comes to immigration, when it comes to abortion, when it comes to education. these kind of issues it's going to be interesting where the government plays his game here. >> it's only the second time since the civil war that all the government entities have been dominated by same party. but i don't think this is a repudiation of obama or anybody. and here's why. republicans spent a boatload of cash to do this. and that cash came in from all different sources. so i wouldn't be -- if i were republicans i wouldn't be jumping up and down because they won. they only won by a thin margin. i think a lot of this is still up in the air.

what you will see is you will start pushing a lot of social agendas through that they haven't been able to get through. >> what about the implications for the 2012 u.s. senate race and then virginia's role in next year's presidential race? >> it's hard to see how that plays out in the cain/allen. >> will it be close? >> it's already expected to be close. republicans insist this is a trend, as you would expect them to say. this shows virginia is changing from its pro obama stance and democratic leaning straight, going from blue state to purple state. they would like to see a red state. we'll see about that. this may be local issues may have determined a lot of elections and may have nothing to do with obama at all. >> we didn't have a large turnout. next year it will be a presidential election. so you're going to have a larger number of people turning out to vote. >> this is what makes it so

fuzzy because of the fact that the one with a larger turnout you have to really consider where is northern virginia going to play in this. because, again, northern virginia could make it much more purple than what we are seeing. >> there's another story in northern virginia this past week. no guns funds. what do you do with protesters packing guns, crying no guns no funds on the campus of george mason university. were they demanding that it be overturned and students and employees are not allowed to carry there but you have protesters on the other side. >> you arrest them and put them in jail. they violate the school policy. i know the attitude is -- and i'm not an anti-gun person. i know what the policy is. you know, the argument. everybody will be packing. so therefore you won't have what happened at virginia tech. you could have a shoot-out at,

what is it, something ok corral. that's why you have law enforcement. does that suggest the bad guys run the campus of george mason? i think this is very dangerous. and you're talking about students. >> and the school's position is about students. >> that's right. >> the fact that they want to protect the students. >> and if you can imagine an 18-year-old or 21-year-old walking around with a gun, the policy of the school is, okay, we'll go with the state's policy of having guns. but when it comes to buildings, the places that are critical, no guns. >> you have a clear split. open carry supporters and schools like virginia tech where this horrendous thing happened years ago. it tempers and attitudes and psyches if you will are still fraught from what happened who say, no, there are certain place

you shouldn't pack heat and this is one of them. it will be interesting to see who prevails. >> maryland state senator has been acquitted of corruption charges. the u.s. attorney failed to prove that curry intentionally broke the law or traded for legislative favors in exchange for $245,000 in consulting payments over a five-year period. what happened with this case? >> what happened is the fact that the prosecutors and those who went against mr. kerry failed. not only that, everybody who was involved. so this is a case -- i don't know. i have in my mind if the taxpayers money wasn't wasted. this came with all kinds of support. there should have been better research in the very beginning. >> jurors who were polled and talked to the press said it wasn't so much the high level of character support that he got from steny hoyer and other

people like that who testified to his good character. more to the point that the prosecutors just couldn't make the sale. that maybe there was some lapses in ethics but not a conspiracy. not a willful attempt to defraud or to do wrongdoing, which was brought against him, the basic charges of it. so they just couldn't buy it in the end. that apparently is what the jury decided. >> we should point out that he was accused of taking these consulting fees from shoppers from warehouse and to shoppers executives were also acquitted. >> and keep in mind all the legislators are part-time. many of them have jobs outside their legislative duties. there's potential conflict. but the deal i think is very simple. and if i were mr. curry i think what i would do is get any office in order. the one thing i found interesting in the trial is that you have people testify who he is straight up kind of guy, very

honest but sloppy office. and sometimes that happens. and i think there's where the -- probably the trouble began. >> just very quickly, was this a waste of taxpayer money? >> that's what i said a while ago. >> i don't think it was a waste. prosecutors do what they have to do. they win, they lose. >> they're charged with building the best case they can where they think there's probably cause and that's what they did. >> all right. got to take a break. we'll be right back. stay with us.

you can't just anoint somebody. he's got to run and campaign

and, you know, if he campaigns against opposition, opposition folks and he shows pretty good -- who knows? >> i understand the strategy. i'm going to run for reelection for a turn mayor and now council member. i'm only going to serve two years. and in essence i'm going to stall another barry. most people tend to vote name recognition. but jerry hit on something. ward 8's demographics is rapidly changing. so it's not -- the best way to put it, it's not a shoo-in. i remember his eulogizing his mother. obviously an intelligent young man. he has problems. he has had run-ins with the police. it could be a factor. this is an interesting factor. legacy. i don't know if it will work. >> we should clarify marion barry has not come out and said

this. he's said to be pondering. >> which means he said it to somebody. >> there's a new effort to make the district a statehood advocates launched a brand-new website to get the word out using social media. mayor gray and local activists rented a metrobus to unveil this new website, statehooddc.com. >> you've got to figure, with people worried about jobs, their future and the economic trevail is statehood on their mind. here are hundreds of thousands of people disenfranchised. baghdad has more home rule than the district of columbia it could be argued. it's a liable good issue. they had a shot in the '7 0s when they passed an amendment through the house and the senate. they couldn't make a case can

the state legislators. they're going to get them to pass ceremonial bills supporting statehood. they have to lobby hard to do that. >> will it work in this climate? >> i don't know. what you're alluding to, dave, is fontry, then a representative. he went knocking on doors and traveled all over the country to get people to support statehood for the district. well, it phased out. your question about this, i don't think so. it's good to keep the statehood movement ahead of us. and i think the website is great because you can reach all over the world. the actual tactics of becoming reality, i don't know right now. >> on capitol hill, i don't think so. they run the problem of having -- i don't want to do a rick perry but i think it's the three twos. two liberal, two black and two democratic.

so i didn't do it. ri perry did it. so that in essence is the problem. that's why you're asking the question. in this atmosphere, they will not bring in a state look lib cal, too democrat or too black. >> people argue that the constitution clearly states that the strategy -- >> but the strategy is good to go out and get it beyond the borders of the district of columbia and see if you can put pressure on. >> an amendment could be a way to do it. >> okay. just have to ask you this last question. a woman last week lost a $12,000 diamond ring at dupont circle. they tore the steps up to look for the ring. >> metro did that? >> yeah. >> who pays for that? >> metro. >> well, taxpayers. we do. god bless them for going to the enth degree of helping this

lady. when you think of all the escalators that aren't working most of the time and then they stop one to look for this. my reporting tells me people tell me their hearts were in the right place. >> i just want to know how many people on their own went to the dupont circle metro escalators to find the ring on their own. >> give it up. file the insurance claim and 100 years from now it will pop up. >> i would have been very grateful to the workers for looking. stay with us now. news 4 today continues. ramos breaks his silence. the washington nationals catcher

describes his heroing or deal after being kidnapped at gunpoint. i'm angie goff. this morning six people are in custody for the kidnapping for nationals catcher wilson ramos. his kidnappers demanded cash outside his family's home in venezuela. he is now reunited with his family and talking about the tense moments where he feared for his life. darcy spencer has the story of his rescue. >> reporter: it was a hero's welcome for nationals baseball player wilson ramos, who was rescued after being kidnapped from his front porch wednesday. he spoke to the media in venezuela >> translator: the place they kept me was well hidden in the mountains, practically in the jungle. look, i just asked god to return alive to be able to see my family. >> four kidnappers in this

stolen suv grabbed ramos at his home in valencia. on friday, rescuers scooped in. they exchanged gunfire but were able to grab the 24-year-old and take several suspects into custody. >> translator: the moment they found me was very nerve-racking for me. i could hear guns being fired. but thank god the boys did their jobs very well. >> trying to climb out of the hole. swing. long shot to left field. that one is going back and back and it's gone! >> reporter: ramos is a catcher for the nationals. he was in venezuela, his home country, when he was abducted for the winter season. he was lying on his back with a hood over his head wondering if he would get out alive >> translator: first and foremost i thought about how my family was doing. thanks to god he gave me this miracle sending me these wonderful people. thanks to them i am alive. >> reporter: darcy spencer, news 4 today. >> ramos says the kidnappers didn't hurt him physically but

psychologically they hurt him greatly. and he said as soon as he starts to feel all right he'll be playing again. but you know what, we're not going to expect anything any time soon. we are just so glad that he is safe and sound. >> yeah. >> can you imagine? >> this brought to light -- i wasn't aware kidnapping for money was such a big problem in venezuela. hundreds of people a year. >> a lot of players get threats yearly and their families as well. so happy ending there. >> scary. we love a happy ending. >> absolutely. >> always love a happy ending. >> we love filtered sunshine. those are the two words of the day. >> picture of the rising sun. it's a good-looking day. >> rising sun? >> is that a song? >> i think it is. >> i don't know that one. trust me you don't want me to sing. not at this hour anyway. people are trying to eat breakfast. we have a few high, thin clouds drifting from the west and southwest. they're not going to bother

anybody today. they will not bring a single drop of rain on to your sunday. no need to worry about that. temperatures are noticeably milder this morning than we were yesterday to the tune of 10 to 15 degrees milder in fact. 47 in washington. we have a 33-degree start yesterday. still no first freeze officially at national airport. obviously most of the northern and western suburbs well below freezing many times. 42 in hagerstown, maryland. 37 in charlestown and martinsburg and the panhandle of west virginia. 33 in charlottesville celebrating a big win. 46 in fredericksburg. on the radar. nothing to worry b. 100% dry even with the filtered sunshine. it will be mild. a hint of a south breeze. let's all right. south breezes in november mean temperatures running 5 to 8 degrees warmer than average. sun goes down at 5 4:56 this afternoon. tomorrow, back to work and school, even. mild weather sticks around but the clouds will thicken.

tomorrow's highs close to 70 degrees. rain for tuesday. maybe a rumble or two of thunder tuesday afternoon, tuesday evening. we'll talk about the whole details of the seven-day forecast coming up in just a couple minutes. but your sunday is looking great. >> take a breath. that was the longest sentence i've heard. >> well, my english teacher would have said i was guilty of many run-on sentences. >> well, you got it all in. it was good information. appreciate it. thanks, chuck. no clear winners in decision 2012 this weekend. republicans vying for the nomination had a debate in south carolina last night. instead of sharp jabs at each other, the candidates seemed more civil when trading views on issues such as waterboarding terror suspects. >> i don't see it as torture. i see it as enhanced interrogation technique. >> under barack obama he is allowing the aclu to run the cia. >> torture is illegal. by our laws, it's illegal by

international law. >> we should not torture. waterboarding is torture. >> this debate also did not include questions about sexual assault allegations against herman cain. and rick perry made fun of his brain freeze at last week's debate. >> eliminate the department of energy. >> glad you remembered it. >> i've had some time to think about it, sir. >> me too. >> the next gop presidential debate is two days before thanksgiving and will once again focus on foreign affairs. well, this morning cbs news, which hosted the debate, is learning a hard lesson in e-mail etiquette. the network cc'd michele bachmann's about an interview for a web show after the debate. the replay read, okay, let's keep it looks though since she's not going to get many questions and she's nearly off the charts in the hopes that we can get someone else.

a cbs spokesperson later called the e-mail a candid change of the reality of her low poll numbers. she said the e-mail is an example of media bias. she's going to be the the guest on the meet the candidate series on meet the press with david gregory. you can see that 10:30 this morning right here on nbc 4. meanwhile, after struggling in the polls the past few months, newt gingrich has surprisingly made a comeback. he is tied for second place in the republican presidential field. newt spoke outside the opening of a south carolina campaign headquarters and offered up his explanation as to why his numbers are rising. >> what happened was the first debate people said oh, he didn't back. the second debate, gee, he actually made sense.

on the third debate, he actually knows what he's talking b. each week there's another layer. >> gingrich also credits his rise in the polls to his grandchildren saying they're his debate coaches. >> as tensions grow between the u.s. and china, president obama continues to try to improve relations between the two countries. he meet with hu jintao yesterday at the asian pacific summit. it's part of the president's 11-day trip. he will soon be headed to australia and indonesia. it's 6:40 right now. when we come back, a mayor is supposed to make a city look good, right? one mayor might have gone a little too far to improve his image. another twist in the search for baby lisa. the new evidence that some say her parents had nothing to do with her disappearance. someday, your mechanic will know

what's wrong with your car before you even notice that there's a problem. and that someday might be closer than you think. because at this very moment, marine corps vehicles are using innovative health diagnostic systems that send signals from under the hood back to home base. systems that will soon make their way into your car. systems developed by students and faculty at rochester institute of technology.

welcome back. more than a month after the disappearance of baby lisa, a lawyer says a cell phone call helped prove her parents's innocence. deborah bradley put her baby to bed the evening of october 3rd. her father said the girl was gone when he got home 4:00 the next morning. they said three cell phones were stolen from their kansas city, missouri home. the attorney said someone made a call from one to a woman the couple does not know. police have not responded to the lawyer's claims but continue to search for the child. the mayor of a suburb near salt lake city, utah admits he used a fake name to write stories about his town. mayor used the named richard

berwash. he contributed hundreds of stories under his pen name. he said he just wanted to write some good stories about his community. he confessed when he learned it was against one paper's policy. the published articles were all factually correct. >> at least they were true. >> in our profession we can by no means defend that. but i will say there's a lot of great news happening in so many of our communities and rarely do we have the chance to hear about them. >> a lot of times politicians don't have much street cred so you have to slide it in under someone else's name. anyway. >> kind of a smart move. >> we have drifted far afield >> we have dribig! far afield big.

welcome back. it is now 6:49 on your sunday morning. news 4 meteorologist chuck bell. proof is in the pictures. take a check of our city camera view of the soon to be rising sun out there. great looking day under way already. those mid-level and high-level clouds out there will continue on roll in during the course of the day. that's all right. it's going to be a mild one. if you haven't stepped outside to get the paper off the porch just yet as soon as you do you'll realize it's nowhere near as chilly now as it was yesterday. yesterday's high made it up to 63. today, up closer to 65, 66 degrees. no complaints. sunrise literally just about 60 seconds away. 47 now at national airport with dewpoints in the mid-30s. a few high thin clouds. light breeze southwest at 6 miles per hour. 39 degrees in rockville, silver spring, bethesda. college park, 46. 42 down in brandywine, maryland

dad anthony. they were on wednesday's children. a sibling group hoping to find a loving family to embrace them all in a forever home. a year and a half later we're back and this time with their brand-new dad who they are thrilled to have. and they loved hearing him introduce them as -- >> my children. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> in the past, anthony hall had done temporary foster care for more than 50 kids. he had adopted one who is now grown up. and then he got this call. >> and i said these are younger males and i normally work with older teenagers. and i was open to the new idea of working with younger young men. two days later they called me and said, well, there's one more

circling, a girl. i had fostered over 52 boys and adopted but never had a little girl. it was a little scary at first, but i think it's the best thing ever for me. >> it started as fostering. within days of their arrival anthony knew these kids were there to stay. >> when they first came in, malik used to follow me all through the house, wouldn't let me out of his eyesight. and i think the second day he called and asked was it okay to call me daddy. from there on we have been living at one happy family. >> he's a good person. he like to have fun. >> these days the kids still like to play wigames. now daddy is there. he's dade with his hands full and loving every minute of it. barbara harrison, news 4 for wednesday's child. >> our thanks as always to barbara. dad, what's it feel like? >> it's great.

it is wonderful having three little ones at home now. >> you mentioned in the piece that you have been a foster parent to dozens, usually older children, right? >> yes. >> what's it like this age group and what are the challenges for you? >> it hasn't really been challenging. they are very motivated. they are very caring and sensitive of what daddy want. it shocked me from the first time in which they came with me. they wake up at 4:30 in the morning. >> wow. >> get ready for school. >> that means you've got to get up at 4:30. >> well, i do get up to go work out at the gym. so we work out together. they prepare for school in the morning. we eat breakfast together. it's been very easy. it hasn't been much of a challenge working with the three. >> i want to get to more about how our viewers can get involved. if they're interesting in adoption, how easy it can be. but talk a little bit about -- we have three siblings. that was important that they stay together. >> true. very, very true.

we want to clone him right here because there are so many children who come in multiples of two, three, four or more and they want to grow up and keep the sibling bond intact. >> they light up, their faces. let's talk about the big picture if we can and freddie mac's long-term commitment to this. how and why did freddie mac get involved? >> the freddie mac foundation started 20 years ago. it was the same time we decided we wanted to find permanent homes for kids in foster care. we started in washington, d.c. our partner was nbc 4, barbara harrison, who has just done an extraordinary job for more than two decades. truly is a champion for kids. so we partnered with nbc 4 with the council of governments and said let's work together to find a way we can help kids find permanent homes. wednesday's child was the model we chose. it's been very successful the last two decades. it's so successful we expanded

it to four additional cities across the country. so we're reaching millions of viewers, millions of potential parents all over the country. over 2,000 hard to place kids have found homes. many families may call but only one can adopt. so we think many others have gone to o to adopt and we have done more than just wednesday's child. as a foundation, we have a deep, abiding and enduring commitment to make sure no child exits the foster care system without say family. something every child needs and deserves. >> anthony makes it look easy. but to our viewers out there who may think, gosh, i would love to be able to do that but i don't know if i've got it in me. and that long-term commitment. what do you tell families like that? or maybe who are a little bit on the fence. >> i say give it a shot. i say you have to love children. that's the number one core value quality that we're looking for. people who love children.

people who want to parent. people who love seeing the milestones met. even if they're a teenager, you still have an opportunity to see them walk across the stage at graduation, whack down the aisle. there's so many milestones for them to have. and they desperately need a family and deserve one. so i say give it a shot. >> that's great. >> we have a lot more to get to. and this is national adoption month that we talk about in november. and the big day national adoption day is on the 19th of november. but throughout this half hour we're going to be putting up a phone number and web address too. take a look. 1-888-2-adopt-me. and wednesdayschild dot adopt org. stay with us.

this half hour. anthony hall, dad we're calling you this morning, you have three beautiful children. >> thank you. >> this is the first time you have welcomed a young lady into the house. you have a girl, a daughter now. >> yes. >> did you have any concerns going in about taking that full step of adoption? what was weighing on you as you entered the process? >> me being ready and committed and consistent with having a young lady. with the males, it wasn't -- it was a part of what i've done so long. so ta was very easy for me. but the thought of having a daughter was a little scary in the beginning. i was thinking i was going to need so many services to wrap around in order to make her a part of our home. but she came in, she fit in, she earned her place. she became that woman in our home that we never had.

she was very caring. i adore her. one of the blessings for me is no matter what time of day or night, any time my kids see me it's about how much they love me and that smile. >> you talk about the smile. that's what i noticed first, not only on the kids's faces but the new parents as well. >> that's right. >> one of the best things for all of us to watch as we watch the pieces every wednesday and saturday morning, are -- when we do those once a year when they are making it official inside the courtroom with the judge there. talk about that day and what that means. many of these kids have been in foster care for years. is there an average how long they're in foster care. >> there's no real average i would say. i would say it's far too long. for any of the viewers who are watching this and are compelled to do so, please give us a call.

we need you. and i also want to kind of take it back off what mr. hall mentioned in that he's a single person. singles, obviously we're disspelling a myth here. singles do adopt. they make wonderful parents. if you have children of your own or do not have children of your own, you can still adopt. it's a common misconception you have to be weighty. adopting from the foster care system, you do not feed to be wealthy. in fact, they really need parents who are able to partner with the child welfare system to really create that bond and that synergy that the child needs. and mr. hall has a fabulous family that provides support to him. also when you adopt a child from the system there's a number of wraparound services post adoption support available for the families as well. >> right. a lot of resources out there. so you're not out there on your own if anybody is worried or concerned or afraid of that.

>> that's right. >> if we could talk a little bit about the demand out there. and this is, as you talk about your programs all over the country now, how big is the command, the need out there for adoptive parents. >> jim, it's getting better but far too many kidsy r in foster care. there are over 400,000 in foster care. what that means is if they don't get permanent homes they're not adopted, they're going to age out of foster care at 18 or 21 literally on their own. if you can imagine that. no family to support them. no one to help them through college if they're even able to get to college on their own. so it's so critical we find a home before they age out. you will hear them say they want to be able to take their children to see grandma and

grandpa. >> sure. >> somewhere to spend thanksgiving just like everybody else. >> that's probably the most heartbreaking thing that you bring up, the aging out. is that getting better? we can almost see it on their faces, particularly the children we have gone back and resreuted. they're getting up to 15, 16, 17. they're really up against a clock as you say. >> yeah. it's frightening. it's frightening to think we're allowing children to age out on their own at that age. the good news is a lot of states have extended the age to 21. >> that's wonderful. >> they do lose medical care benefits at i believe 22. so if they're in college i understand that very often they'll lose their medical benefits. so it's not a good thing. it could never be a good thing. and we try to encourage the kids. sometimes the kids say i'm too old. i don't want a family. and we have to help them, as you

said, get in touch with themselves. work with them. we have youth at 23, 25 saying i found my own family. i wanted to be adopted. >> and you're a dad for life. >> yes. >> as we were talking a little bit earlier, briefly if you can before we go to break, anthony, you were a foster parent to someone who you just took on full adoptive responsibility for. >> yes. he was a young man i got at the age of 13 who has been living with me who had disabilities. and actually he's 30 years old and this year after the adoption of the three little ones he decided he wanted to be adopted so we have finalized his adoption also. 30 years old. >> congratulations to him and to you too. >> thank you. >> if you are interested in becoming an adoptive parent this is national adoption month, the day is on the 19th. day is on the 19th. 1-88-to-adopt- get your cash back.

which cash back booth looks better to you, chase freedom or the largest cash back card? i'll try the largest oh, that's too bad apparently you don't know chase freedom guarantees you 1% cash back... 4 times more than the largest cash back card, which only gives you a quarter percent until you spend $3,000 every year but have fun, bob and weave once you're in there. and right now, when you apply... you'll receive $300 bonus cash back after you spend $500 in the first three months. can i change my mind? i was hoping you would plus, chase freedom gives you a total of 5 percent cash back on up to $1,500 worth of purchases in new categories every three months, like gas stations, movie theaters, restaurants and grocery stores when i say cash you say back... cash... okay! even better... with chase freedom, there's no annual fee. so remember if you apply now... you'll receive $300 bonus cash back after you spend $500 in the first three months. get your cash back. call or visit our website to apply.

i'm angie goff. police are investigating a stabbing that happened in the 2900 block of wisconsin avenue. it happened around 11:30 last night. police aren't releasing too much information but the victim was taken to the hospital and is in serious condition. . u.s. park police believe this man is connected to the reports of shots fired near the white house friday night. he's 21-year-old oscar ramiro ortega. evidence inside include a rifle traced back to or tea. an emotional day at penn state university. yesterday the football team played their first game without joe paterno in more than 60 years. penn state and nebraska held a moment of silence. and corn huskers defeated nittany lions, 17-14. more news and your sunday

forecast in 15 minutes. for now, back to viewpoint. and welcome back to viewpoint. we've got national adoption day coming up on the 19th. and this is national adoption month. i want to find out if we can for our viewers who are the children. because we were talking about miss conceptions earlier. >> yes. >> they're all special needs. they certainly are not. >> that's so true. when you ask who are the children, i like to think of them as resilient survivors. they have been victims due to abuse or thneglect. and now they're in foster care. due to no fault of their own they're waiting and they're hoping someone will pick up the phone and call and decide to play a meaningful role in their life. i think that the young people, certainly the ones that many of your viewers may come to know through wednesday's child are

teenagers. i like to call them the terrific teens. because they are terrific. they're fabulous. they're outspoken. they're witty. they're poised. i cannot imagine myself at 15 years old able to articulate my feelings -- >> and having the strength that they have. >> having that inner core, that inner strength to be able to step forward and put themselves and be vulnerable and say i want a family. >> right. >> and risk it all. we also have circling groups, as we mentioned. many do have special medical needs. but certainly not all of our children are quote, unquote special needs i would say. >> anthony, what's been the most rewarding part for you? and what advice would you have to people out there? i mentioned on the fence who is wondering should i do the same thing did you? maybe they're a little afraid. >> absolutely not. as a lot of people are always telling me what a great job i've done. i think it's the children that keep me going.

they give me just as much as i give them. my home is exciting to come home now, having a house and just knowing that that energy is there for you. the unconditional love. someone to hold you accountable. as adults we need that sometimes. my kids are a blessing to me. but i think the one thing that i enjoy the most is i have a 5-year-old grandson and he took to them so well. it's like the lee kids were born the our family, from my mom to my grandson. they just have their place and everybody is one big happy family. children that i fostered early on in life comes back and plays a big active role with them. every day somebody is helping with their homework. they love that energy of having all these older brothers to work with. >> i'm just getting a picture about thanksgiving dinner table. big family. big happy family. a lot to be thankful for too.

we talk about the long-term commitment from the freddie mac foundation. tell us a little bit about our viewers who haven't been fortunate enough to see it in person. i saw the heart gallery a few years ago. so impressive. it goes on tour. everyone can see it in different cities, right? >> actually, it's just here in the washington, d.c. recently. but it travels to different communities, community centers, malls. it is an exhibit, beautiful exhibit of mostly our wednesday's child children. it's another way to provide them some exposure. hopefully somebody will see a photograph of them and give a call. so that exhibit travels all over the region. if you go to freddie mac foundation.org you will see the schedule. about 52 weeks out of the year. the only time it's down is when we refurbish it.

we bring in 40 different adoption resources, free to the public. we just had it. unfortunately we missed that. but it will be coming up again next year. i suggest everyone keep an eye out for that as well. and we're the co-founder of national adoption day. we started with some other organizations over 10 years ago. it was in nine communities when we adopted it. and it's now in over 400 communities in all 150 states. >> waugh wou. >> it's a day to celebrate and lift the adoptive families and the children and to remind the american people we have a long way to go. they're wonderful children. there are no unadoptable children, just unfound families. >> we'll take a break on that memorable motto because it's so important. that's so true. as we go to break, again, we'll put up the number and web address if you would like to get involved. we'll be right back.

stick around.

at bank of america, we're lending and investing in the people and communities who call greater washington, d.c. home. from supporting an organization that helps new citizens find their way... to proudly supporting our washington redskins... and partnering with a school that brings academic excellence to the anacostia community. because the more we do in greater washington, d.c., the more we help make opportunity possible.

the process length is four to six months to become prepared. we're not just going to, if you call us today, knock on your door tomorrow. obviously there's some homework and some process there that you'll want to be involved with for the young person who is going to be in your life. that will include a training as well as a home visit by a social worker. and some paperwork as well. so during that four to six months families will be kind of doing some homework and going

back to school so to speak and getting prepared for the young person. the child will come in pretty much after the six-month process. you will be able to identify a child that you're interested in adopting. wednesday's child is a fabulous program to watch if you're licensed and ready to go because you can move forward and get to know the children through wednesday's child. and then call the number and hopefully be able to adopt that child. >> wednesday's children and barbara harrison received, as you mentioned off the top, national recognition. anthony, you guys were fast tracked. >> yes. >> when did you know these were going to be your two sons and daughter and those are the the ones you wanted to welcome into your home? >> two days after being in the home. it was interesting. they just connected so well with us. but we initially -- i did the petition to adopt 30 days after they had been placed in my home. >> wow. >> and no looking back?

it's just been up, up, up. >> up, up, up. >> that's great. >> up, up, up. >> renetta, people are interested there's a website to go to to learn more about this process. if they're interested in taking a look at children who need parents. >> yes. the national adoption center. you'll see all the segments of all the children across the entire country. and there's an archive. so you can see them many months previous. there's a great deal of information about adoption. a lot of resource and referral information as well. >> you know, we talk about the different stories. there are names and face behind all of them. we see them in the before and after. hopefully there's an after where you do get to see them light up. some of these kids, though, have been bounced around from foster family to foster family for a number of years. >> it's very unfortunate that the child from -- coming from

their birth family where they were abused or neglected and to be bounced around and to not have the stable place which is why adoption is so important. that's why we're foot soldiers out there trying to recruit more and more families who want to adopt, want to foster. but if you're listening today, watching today, you're not quite sure you want to take that next step to foster or adopt, there's many ways you can play a meaningful role in a child's life. you can mentor, you can sponsor a child's holiday wish. >> and scholarships too i understand. >> friends of wednesday's child fund now. >> okay. >> where we offer small stipends for extras like summer camps, scholarships to have music lessons, for instance. things that i think a lot of young people in families take for granted but is really a luxury for many of the young

people we get to know through wednesday's child. >> our hats off to all of you. dad, freddie mac foundation. thank you so much for all the work you have done for a couple of decades and of course all the work that you do every day. with us here on nbc 4 and to our own barbara, we say to her. she's our angel. >> she's a saint. >> again, there's a phone number and web address we want to flash one more time. 1-88-to-adopt-me. or this web address. we have made it seem easy but it's rewarding and that's the bottom line. for everybody involved it's a win, win, win. you get one more win. you have four in your family. >> congratulations again. >> five. >> but who's counting? >> it was a pleasure. coming up on the 19th. now back to news 4 today. enjoy the rest of your weekend, everybody.
