Emere

    
by KYW's Larry Kane
Produced by Jim Melwert

Ten-year-old Emere is an honor roll student. He loves football, and has some advice for one of his favorite teams, the Philadelphia Eagles:

"Get Terrell Owens back. When they were winning, it was because of him. But then when he left, they started losing."

Emere is also a big fan of the NBA:

"The Nuggets, Allen Iverson and Carmello Anthony."

And although he thinks the Eagles should bring back T.O., he has some simple advice for the Sixers:

(Emere:)  "Practice." 
(Kane:)   "Do you think Iverson should come back to Philadelphia, too?"
(Emere:)  "No." 
(Kane:)   "You want him to stay with the Nuggets?"
(Emere:)  "Yes."

In addition to being a sports fan, Emere is also a great student.

(Kane:)   "You get straight A's?"
(Emere:)  "Yes." 
(Kane:)   "You must be smart, or is it practice?
(Emere:)  "No." 
(Kane:)   "You're just smart?
(Emere:)  "Yes."

Emere's adoption specialist is Tamika McNair:

"Emere is basically a pretty good kid. He loves going to school, he loves drawing, he loves pets. Basically, he wants to be with a permanent family."

McNair says Emere is also a big help around the house:

"He'll do chores, he'll clean up his room if you ask him to. He'll rake leaves, he'll take out the trash. He's very helpful, anything you ask him, he's very helpful."
