In late 2009, four-year-old Definity was a sweet but shy child in need of a forever family. Our viewers fell in love with the little girl with the big brown eyes and playful smile. Families from all over the United States called and emailed requesting to be considered as a resource for her. More than 100 inquiries for her were logged in the months after her segment aired. The Wednesday's Child program is sponsored by the Freddie Mac Foundation, in partnership with WNBC 4 and Children's Services.
