DALLAS – A retiring news anchor in Dallas got a very special surprise, years after she helped one boy by featuring him twice on a segment called ‘Wednesday’s Child.’
According to the Huffington Post, the segment, which was taken over by anchor Gloria Campos in 1989, featured children who had been in foster care and were looking to be placed in permanent homes.
Back in 2007 she featured the story of Ke’onte Cook who was eight-years-old at the time. The first home she was able to get him placed in didn’t work out, so two years later she gave him another opportunity to be a part of the segment.
Last week the now 14-year-old Cook, who has since been living with his adoptive parents, Carol and Scott Cook, surprised the anchor on-air with a special thank you.
