RICHMOND, Va. -- CBS 6 brought you the story of Justin a 16-year-old who loves math and hip-hop Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
His story was the last of the 31 children in foster care in Virginia that CBS 6 News and WTVR.com featured each day in the month of November.
All of them, including two siblings, are looking for a permanent, loving home.
There was 14-year-old Alyssa, who likes to bake and make jewelry, and wants to go hiking with her forever family.
13-year-old Malachi hopes to be Navy SEAL, and wants his future family to know he is kind and loyal.
16-year-old Breanna or Bre likes to read, and wants to be a nurse practitioner.
17-year-old Lloyd loves sushi and while he's not sure what he wants to be, he won't settle for "just being average."
And 8-year-old Karma likes to make people laugh, and hopes to find a family with cats and dogs and a bearded dragon.

They are among the more than 5,000 children in foster care in the Commonwealth, and for the older ones, time is running out.
That's because unfortunately, Virginia is ranked near the bottom in the US in how many children age out of the system without finding that forever family.
You can make a difference: if you're not ready to adopt, could you foster a child for a weekend to give a foster family a respite, a break?
You could even send a card and make a difference that way.
Let a child know you "see" them, and that acknowledgment can do so much!
