RICHMOND, Va. -- Meet 13-year-old Collin.

Collin enjoys movies, music (especially rap), and video games.

"Some things that my friends would say about me is that I'm chill, I'm loving, I'm kind, and I have nice hair," he said.

Collin even writes his own music and he loves basketball.

He wants to get his driver's license when he turns 16, get a work permit when he's old enough, finish high school, and attend a trade program for pipe fitting.

"I want to be someone that does pipe fitting to make a lot of money and that's also because I enjoy that job. I already know a lot about it," he said.

Collin has an idea about what his forever family should be.

"Anyone that actually cares about me, I consider my family because I don't really have one right now," he said. "Having someone to love, someone to love me, and then helping me to grow up and be the good person that I could be."
