Zaire is only six years old, but he's already a comic:
(Kane:) "You have a lot of friends?"
(Zaire:) "I make them laugh, yeah."
(Kane:) "Why do you make them laugh?"
(Zaire:) "Because I always say jokes."
(Kane:) "You're a funny guy."
Zaire has plenty of time to decide, but he already has an idea of what he wants to be when he grows up:
(Zaire:) "A doctor."
(Kane:) "A doctor? So you want to treat people who are not well?"
(Zaire:) "I just want to make them laugh."
(Kane:) "So you could be a comedian, like a star in the movies."
(Zaire:) "I don't know ... yet."
Zaire loves to spend time in the pool:
(Zaire:) "We go swimming."
(Kane:) "Do you like swimming?"
(Zaire:) "Yup."
(Kane:) "Can you swim?"
(Zaire:) "I can when I'm in a pool, but I can't when I'm out of the pool. Then I just walk."
National Adoption Center spokeswoman Gloria Hochman says it's important for Zaire to find a permanent home while he's young, because with a bit of encouragement he can do almost anything:
"He needs a family that would be patient with him, that would be there for him to love him, to tell him how much they care about him."
