Danielle

  
by KYW's Larry Kane
Produced by Jim Melwert


Fifteen-year-old Danielle says she's a romantic:

(Kane:)  "You're a 'happy endings' kind of person?"
(Danielle:)  "Yes."
(Kane:)  "What does that mean about you?"
(Danielle:)  "It means I want somebody to pick me up and carry me home and take me away."

Danielle hopes her knight in shining armor would whisk her off to a permanent family:

(Kane:)  "What kind of people would you like?"
(Danielle:)  "Loving parents that care about, that would do anything for me.  Like wake me up in the morning and tell me they love me and send me off to school."
(Kane:)  "That's something that everyone should have.  If you met people like that, what do you think you could give back to them?"
(Danielle:)  "I would want to say 'thank you, and it would be an honor to be your daughter.' "

Danielle likes movies, and says she's a big fan of Brad Pitt.  She also likes to dance, and enjoys playing football.  As for school:

(Danielle:)  "I made honor roll."
(Kane:)  "What does that mean -- all As and Bs?"
(Danielle:)  "Two Bs and all the rest As."

Danielle hopes to be a lawyer when she grows up.  Her family recruiter, Ben Magnussen, says Danielle has a lot to offer:

"I think Danielle has a great heart.  When it comes down to it, she just a sweet kid who wants to be a part of a family."
