There aren't too many sports that 11-year-old Rayshawn hasn't played:

"Basketball, football, baseball, soccer, hockey, golf, track, tennis."

In fact, Rayshawn has even played cricket:

"You hit the ball and you really don't have to hit it far -- all you have to do is tap it and then run around. If you knock off the thing on the top... if you knock it off, you lose."

But basketball is Rayshawn's favorite sport:

"I like the Sixers a little bit. But my main teams are the Heat and the Lakers."

Rayshawn wants to be adopted into a permanent home, and he describes his dream family:

"They have kids that I can play with, they have a lot of neighbors that have kids. And they allow me to cook and wash dishes and allow me to go in the garage and help the father of the family."

Rayshawn's family recruiter, Tamara Reddick, says it's so important to find Rayshawn a home as soon as possible:

"At 11 they need that nuturing and stability of one parent, not that moving from place to place to place. You need that one family, those one values."
